METHODSThe Development of Flow-through Bio-Catalyst Microreactors from Silica Micro Structured Fibers for Lipid TransformationsSabiqah Tuan Anuar •Carla Villegas •Samuel M.Mugo •Jonathan M.CurtisReceived:10August 2010/Accepted:22December 2010/Published online:13February 2011ÓAOCS 2011Abstract This study demonstrates the utility of a flow-through enzyme immobilized silica microreactor for lipid transformations.A silica micro structured fiber (MSF)consisting of 168channels of internal diameter 4–5l m provided a large surface area for the covalent immobiliza-tion of Candida antartica lipase.The specific activity of the immobilized lipase was determined by hydrolysis of p -nitrophenyl butyrate and calculated to be 0.81U/mg.The catalytic performance of the lipase microreactor was dem-onstrated by the efficient ethanolysis of canola oil.The parameters affecting the performance of the MSF microre-actor,including temperature and reaction flow rate,were investigated.Characterization of the lipid products exiting the microreactor was performed by non-aqueous reversed-phased liquid chromatography (NARP-LC)with evapora-tive light scattering detector (ELSD)and by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC 9GC).Under optimized conditions of 1l L/min flow rate of 5mg/mLtrioleoylglycerol (TO)in ethanol and 50°C reaction tem-perature,2-monooleoylglycerol was the main product at [90%reaction yield.The regioselectivity of the Candida antartica lipase immobilized MSF microreactor in the presence of ethanol was found to be comparable to that obtained under conventional conditions.The ability of these reusable flow-through microreactors to regioselectively form monoacylglycerides in high yield from triacylglyce-rides demonstrate their potential use in small-scale lipid transformations or analytical lipids profiling.Keywords Microreactor ÁMicro structured fiber ÁLipid transformation ÁImmobilized enzymeAbbreviations APTES 3-(Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane DAG Diacylglycerol DO Dioleoylglycerol EE Ethyl oleate/C18:1ethyl ester ELSD Evaporative light scattering detector FID Flame ionization detectorGC 9GC Comprehensive two-dimensional gaschromatographyHPLC High performance liquid chromatography MAG Monoacylglycerol MO Monooleoylglycerol MSF Micro structured fiberNARP-LC Non-aqueous reversed-phased liquidchromatographyPCF Photonic crystal fibers PDMS Poly-dimethylsiloxane PMMA Poly(methyl-methacrylate)p NP p -Nitrophenol p NPB p -Nitrophenyl butyrate SEM Scanning electron microscopeS.Tuan Anuar ÁC.Villegas ÁJ.M.Curtis (&)Lipid Chemistry Group,Department of Agricultural,Food and Nutritional Science (AFNS),University of Alberta,Edmonton,AB T6G 2P5,Canada e-mail:jcurtis1@ualberta.caS.Tuan AnuarDepartment of Chemistry,Universiti Malaysia Terengganu,21030Terengganu,MalaysiaS.M.MugoDepartment of Physical Sciences (Chemistry),Grant MacEwan University,Edmonton,AB T5J 4S2,CanadaJ.M.CurtisLipid Chemistry Group and LiPRA,AFNS,University of Alberta,Edmonton,AB T6G 2P5,CanadaLipids (2011)46:545–555DOI 10.1007/s11745-010-3522-0TAG TriacylglycerolTO TrioleoylglycerolU Unit of lipase activityIntroductionRecently,microreactor technologies have gained attention for their application in clinical diagnostics,analytical and synthetic chemistry[1–3].For example,Kawaguchi et al.[4]have successfully demonstrated the use of aflow-system microreactor for the Moffatt–Swern oxidation of alcohols into carbonyl compounds.A microreactor inte-grates various chemical or analytical processes into a single platform made up of reaction channels in the micrometer (50–1,000l m)range.In such systems,the chemical reac-tion takes place under conditions of continuousflow[1]. Whether for analytical or synthetic applications,microre-actor technology offers several advantages including: reduced reaction time[2,3]due to the large surface area to volume ratio in the microchannel;enhanced control over the reaction process[3];it is less wasteful since only low volumes of reagent are used[3]and rapid optimization of reaction conditions can be achieved[2–5].The microre-actors are also ideally suited for continuousflow processes, a highly desired paradigm in processing.The fabrication of commercially available microreactors (mainly made from glass,quartz,silica or polymers)is however,generally achieved via expensive photolitho-graphic and wet-etching processes which are complicated and require specialized clean-room facilities[6].Therefore, there is much interest in developing cheaper and more easily accessible approaches to the fabrication of mic-roreactors for laboratory applications[1–10].Amongst the attractive platforms used,are microreactors obtained by means of imprinting on polymers including poly-dimeth-ylsiloxane(PDMS),poly(methyl-methacrylate)(PMMA) [11]or polyurethanes.However,the use of silica capillaries is possibly the easiest platform to employ as aflow through microreactor with potential for numerous chemical modi-fications for use in enzyme-,organo-,or metal-catalysts immobilization[8–10].There is considerable interest in the use of enzymes for lipid transformations such as in the preparation of struc-tured lipids[12]as well as in biodiesel production[13]. The interest is due to the high yields,minimal side products and mild reaction conditions that can be achieved with enzyme-catalyzed processes.A major impediment to the potential commercialization of enzyme-mediated processes is the cost of enzymes and their unstable nature.However, enzyme immobilized over the high surface area of the capillary walls will result in an efficientflow-through microreactor which is reusable for many process cycles after which the microreactors can be regenerated with new enzyme.Micro structuredfibers(MSF),also commonly known as photonic crystalfibers(PCF),are silica capillaries that consist of a micro structured arrangement of air channels within aflexible acrylate polymer-coated silica tube.They are widely used as radiation optical guides and in sensor applications[14].Basically,these opticalfibers are made up of three layers:the core,cladding and the coating.Both the core diameter(an individual air channel,usually in the 8–40l m range)and the number of channels in the pho-tonicfiber can vary depending on the design of thefiber.In addition,the coating diameter—outer diameter of the fiber—could range from200to500l m depending on the requirements of the application[14],such as in networking or bio-sensing.Here,we propose that the presence and chemistry of silanol groups within MSFs could be exploited as a plat-form for enzyme immobilization,as has been widely reported for other silica supports[8].MSF contain an array of microchannels and hence an enormous surface is available for enzyme immobilization,and may offer an excellent platform for aflow-through microreactor.In order to demonstrate the performance of such a microre-actor in mediating lipid transformations,the lipase from Candida antarctica was selected,since it is one of the most widely used enzymes for catalysis in lipid transesterifica-tion reactions[13,15].Overall,the objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of immobilizing enzymes onto MSF capillaries and utilizing the microre-actors in lipid transformations.This will combine the advantages of microreactor technology with the green chemistry achievable via enzyme immobilization. Materials and MethodsMaterialsMSF capillary(F-SM20,ID:4–5l m,outer diameter: 340l m,168holes)was obtained from Newport Corp. (Irvine CA,USA).Canola oil was obtained from a local grocery store(with*50%trioleoylglycerol).Sodium hydroxide powder(reagent grade,97%),sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate,3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES,99%),di-sodium hydrogen phosphate(bioUltra, Fluka,[99%),glutaraldehyde solution(BioChemika, *50%in H2O),sodium cyanoborohydride(NaCNBH3, reagent grade,95%),lipase from Candida antarctica(EC 3.1.1.3,BioChemika)potassium sodium tartrate,copper sulfate,and Folin phenol reagent all were obtained fromSigma-Aldrich Ltd(ON,Canada).Acetic acid(glacial, HPLC)was purchased from Fisher Scientific(New Jersey, USA).C18:1ethyl ester(EE)and TLC18-1-A[contains by weight25%of each of trioleoylglycerol(TO),dioleoyl-glycerol(DO),monooleoylglycerol(MO),methyl oleate (ME)]standards were purchased from Nu-Chek(Elysian, MN,USA),while1-monooleoylglycerol standard(98%) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich(ON,Canada).All organic solvents were HPLC analytical grade from Sigma-Aldrich(ON,Canada).Water was purified by a Milli-Q system(Millipore;Bedford MA,USA).MSF ActivationThe MSF capillary(15cm)was activated byflushing with 1M NaOH solution for2h at aflow rate of10l L/min. The sodium hydroxide activated the inner surface(silanol groups)of the capillary wall.The residual alkali wasflu-shed by0.1M HCl for2h at aflow rate of10l L/min.The activated MSF was then dried under N2gas before the lipase enzyme immobilization step.Lipase Immobilization onto MSF Capillary SupportCandida antarctica lipase was immobilized by introduc-tion of amine functional groups onto the silica wall by a silanization reaction;this was followed by the formation of an imide using glutaraldehyde as a bifunctional reagent;finally immobilization was achieved via a condensation reaction with the lipase.This procedure was adapted with some minor modifications from the method reported by Ma et al.[8].Briefly,the activated MSF wasfilled with20% (v/v)APTES(5:2:3water:acetic acid:APTES)and left overnight with both capillary ends submerged in the20% APTES solution to complete the reaction.The MSF was thenflushed with0.1M sodium phosphate buffer(pH7), followed by reaction with glutaraldehyde solution(5% glutaraldehyde dissolved in0.1M sodium phosphate buf-fer)and left for4h in the solution.The capillary was then flushed with buffer again before continuously infusing it with8mg/mL lipase from Candida antarctica in sodium phosphate buffer(0.1M,pH7with0.1%NaCNBH3)for 24h at room temperature.The sodium borohydride is used to reduce the Schiff base formation and to stabilize the binding of the enzyme to the support.The enzyme-loaded microreactor wasfinallyflushed with the0.1M sodium phosphate buffer at which point it was ready for use.Immobilized Lipase AssayThe amount of lipase immobilized on the MSF was determined using the standard Lowry protein assay[16]. This was achieved by determining the difference in protein concentration before and after passing the Candida ant-arctica lipase solution through the MSF during the immobi-lization process.The Lowry solution was prepared freshly by mixing solution A(4mg/mL NaOH and20mg/mL Na2CO3in water)and solution B(10mg/mL potassium sodium tartrate and50mg/mL CuSO4in water),prior to use.Solutions of known protein concentration(calibration solutions containing0,2.5,5,7.5,10,12.5,15,17.5,20, 25,30,and35l g protein)and lipase solutions(2l L)were made up to a total volume of200l L with deionized water. 1mL of Lowry solution was added to each protein solution then after waiting for15min,100l L Folin phenol reagent was added.After a further30min,an aliquot was sampled in a UV-Vis cuvette(10mm square cuvette)and their absorbance was measured at750nm.The concentration of the enzyme solution before and after passing through the microreactor was determined from the protein calibration curve in order to estimate the amount of enzyme immo-bilized in the microreactor.Lipase Activity AssayTo determine the lipase(esterase)activity,a 3.5mM solution of p-nitrophenyl butyrate(p NPB)was prepared in a1:1mixture of acetonitrile(ACN)and0.1mM sodium phosphate buffer).The p NPB solution was passed through a15cm MSF lipase immobilized microreactor at1l L/min for1h.The hydrolysis products were then collected,their volume measured and then diluted to2.0mL in mixture of ACN:sodium phosphate buffer(1:1).The absorbance of the resulting solution of products(absorbing molecule, p-nitrophenol)was measured at a wavelength of410nm.A calibration curve was obtained by measuring the absor-bance of p-nitrophenol(p NP)standard solutions prepared in the same solvent mixture ACN:0.1mM sodium phos-phate buffer at concentrations of0.5,1,3,5and7mM. The concentration of p NP hydrolyzed was determined and lipase enzyme activity calculated.The enzyme activity was expressed as amount of p NP formed on the microreactor under the condition used per minute,i.e.,l g p NP/min.One enzyme unit(U)was the amount of protein liberating1l g of p NP per minute.Specific Activity of Immobilized LipaseBased on the amount of protein loaded and lipase activity, a specific activity of lipase immobilized in the MSF was calculated according to Dizge et al.[17].Lipid Sample Preparation and TransformationThe reactant solution of5mg/mL canola oil was prepared in ethanol.The mixture was mixed vigorously using avortex mixer to dissolve the lipid in ethanol.The param-eters affecting the performance of the microreactor including reaction flow rate and temperature were investi-gated and optimized as follows:TemperatureLipid transformation using the immobilized MSF was carried out at room temperature (24°C),30,40,50,and 60°C.A schematic illustrating the experimental conditions is shown in Fig.1.A syringe pump system (Harvard ‘11’Plus)was used to infuse reactant through the MSF mic-roreactor.The products from the reaction were collected in a small capped vials with the microreactor poked through the septum of the vial.The temperature that produced highest yield was then used to optimize the flow rate for the reaction.Reaction Flow RateThe reactant solution was then pumped through the lipase-immobilized MSF microreactor held at the optimized temperature (50°C)and using various flow rates (0.5,1,5and 10l L/min),each held for 3h.The products were collected into vials for analysis,as described below.In both the temperature and reaction flow optimization experiments,the reaction products collected from MSF microreactor were diluted 10–25times in HPLC solvent A (methanol with 0.1%glacial acetic acid)before being analyzed.Standard calibration curves were prepared using 0.05,0.1,0.5and 1.0mg/mL of total TLC 18-A-1and 0.05,0.1,0.2,0.5,and 1.0mg/mL of EE standards.The amount of each compound in the reaction products was determined from the standard calibration curve prepared.For GC 9GC analysis,samples were diluted in dichloromethane and quantified against a calibration curvecovering the range of 0.01–1mg/mL of each lipid component.Instrumentation (a)A Harvard Model ‘11’Plus syringe pump (Harvard Apparatus,Holliston MA)was used to pass all solu-tions through the MSF both during preparation of the microreactor and for lipid transformations.(b)High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)analysis was performed using an Agilent 1200HPLC system equipped with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD)model 1260Infinity (Agilent Tech-nologies,Santa Clara CA,USA).(c)Either an Agilent Zorbax HT C18column (4.6950mm,1.8l m)(Agilent Technologies;Santa Clara CA,USA)or a Supelco Ascentis Silica column (4.69150mm,3l m)(Sigma-Aldrich;ON,Canada)were used as described below.(d)UV/Visible measurements were made using a Jenwayspectrophotometer 6320D series (Bibby Scientific,Staffordshire,UK).(e)A LECO comprehensive 2-dimensional GC 9GC/FID system (LECO;St.Joseph,MI,USA)was used (Fig.2).It consists of a dual oven GC equipped with flame ionization detector and cryogenic modulator (quadjet)cooled with liquid nitrogen and split–splitless injector.All data was collected by Leco ChromaTOF-GC software v 3.34optimized for GC 9GC/FID.The columns used for GCxGC were a DB5HT gas chromatography column (30m 90.32mm 90.1l m,bonded and cross-linked 5%phenyl methylpolysiloxane,Agilent technologies;Santa Clara CA,USA)and an RXT65column (1m 90.25mm 90.1l m,crossbond 65%diphe-nyl-dimethyl polysiloxane,Restek;Bellefonte PA,USA).Fig.1Apparatus used with the fabricated MSF microreactor for small scale lipid reactionsNARP-LC/ELSDNon-aqueous reversed phased (NARP)HPLC with a C18column was used to speciate the lipid transformation prod-ucts as well as the starting materials and lipid standards.The ELSD was set to 33°C and the nitrogen gas flow rate was optimized.All samples were analysed using an injection volume of 10l L and a mobile phase flow rate of 1mL/min.A binary gradient of A,methanol with 0.1%glacial acetic acid;and B,isopropanol/hexane (5:4)was used.The starting condition was 0%B held for 5min then increased to 66%B in 10min,held at 66%B for 3.5min before returning to 0%B (2.5min)to equilibrate the column.GC 9GCGC 9GC was used as a second method to characterize the lipid classes produced by the MSF microreactor and to confirm the LC results.An aliquot of the product mixture was dissolved in dichloromethane prior to injection into the LECO GC 9GC/FID system.The carrier gas was H 2at a flow rate of 1.5mL/min,injection volume 1l L,split ratio of 15:1and He FID make-up gas was used.The inlet and detector temperatures were set to 320and 400°C,respectively.The temperature program for the first oven was 45°C (0.5min)increased at 2°C/min until 150°C (0min)then increased again at 3°C/min until 375°C (hold 10min).The second oven tracked the first but at a temperature 25°C higher at all times.The modulator offset was 15°C.Regiospecificity Determination Using Normal Phase-LC/ELSDNormal phase HPLC with a silica column was used for the regiospecific separation of the MSF microreactor lipidproducts,following an AOCS standard method [18].Ali-quots of the products formed under the optimized condi-tions (50°C,flow rate 1l L/min)were analyzed by HPLC/ELSD along with a 1-monooleoylglycerol standard.The method used an injection volume of 10l L,mobile phase flow rate of 0.5mL/min,column temperature maintained at 40°C and the ELSD operating at 90°C.The mobile phase was a binary gradient of A hexane,and B hexane/isopro-panol/ethyl acetate/10%formic acid (80:10:10:1,v/v)[18].The gradient was 2%B,linear increase to 35%B in 15min,then linearly increased to 98%in 1min,and finally held for 10min at 98%B.The column was allowed to equilibrate at the starting condition for 3min.Note that all samples and standards were prepared in hexane/isopropanol (9:1,v/v)prior analysis.Results and DiscussionLipase-Immobilized Microreactor FabricationIn this paper,we present the first demonstration of the use of a microreactor,fabricated by immobilizing lipase from Candida antarctica onto a silica MSF support,for the ethanolysis of canola oil triacylglycerols.The MSF mor-phology is shown in the scanning electron microscope image in Fig.3.Although the MSF have been mainly developed for use in light guiding optics,they contain numerous micrometer-sized pores (4–5l m)and provide a very large surface area,which makes them ideally suited for immobilizing high amounts of catalysts.Furthermore,the fact that the MSF is made from silica makes it even more attractive for the enzyme immobilization by employingwell-knownFig.2Schematic diagram of GC 9GC/FID used for analysis of lipid transformationproductsFig.3Scanning electron microscope (SEM)image of a Lipase-Immobilized MSF (168holes)at 9300magnificationsilanization chemistry.In order to ensure the maximum presence of silanol groups at the MSF surface,the use of alkali(NaOH)treatment has been shown to activate the silica wall by increasing hydrolysis of the silanol group [19].The reaction sequence of the immobilization lipase from Candida antarctica onto the silica walls of the MSF is given in Fig.4.Immobilization onto the silica support was achieved by grafting aminopropyl triethoxysilane(APTES)onto the active silanol group(Si–OH)on the MSF wall[20].The resultant pendant primary amine group provides a reactive functionality to form imines when reacted with the bifunctional reagent glutaraldehyde.This in turn results in a pendent carbonyl group from the grafted glutaraldehyde which further reacts with the amino groups of lipase forming a Schiff base,thus covalently attaching the enzyme to the MSF support[20,21].It is expected with such a strong covalent lipase attachment,the probability of enzyme leaching is low and hence the microreactor can potentially be reused multiple times.In contrast,using the simple,commonly used adsorption methods of immobili-zation,leaching is known to limit reusability[22,23]. Enzyme Activity AssayBefore employing the lipase loaded MSF microreactor it was essential to determine the success of the immobilization method.The total free protein concentration was deter-mined using the widely used Lowry protein assay[16].The amount of protein bound to the MSF microreactor support was estimated by the difference between amount of protein in the lipase solution infused through the MSF and the effluent emerging from the ing this method,the amount of protein loaded on the MSF was determined to be 5.8l g/l L(Table1).It is likely that not all lipase loaded in the MSF is active due to underlying physicochemical factors associated with the immobilization.As such,it was imperative to also determine the activity of the immobilized lipase.As described in detail in the Materials and Methods section, the lipase activity of immobilized MSF microreactor was determined by the enzymatic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl butyrate(p NBP)to p-nitrophenol which is quantified ing this assay,a unit(U)of lipase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyses(liberates)1l g of p-nitrophenol(p NP)from p NPB as substrate.Table1summarizes of lipase activity assay yield.The enzymatic activity for the immobilized MSF microreactor was determined to be4.7l g p NP/min (U)for the15cm MSF microreactor.Hence,a specific activity of0.81U/mg was found for the immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica in the MSF microreactor.Data from the manufacturer indicates that the native lipase from Candida antarctica has specific activity of 1.06U/mg Fig.4The process of lipase-immobilization onto the silica support of a MSFTable1Determination of the amount of lipase immobilized onto the MSF capillaryProtein bound a from1mL lipase(mg/mL)Proteinboundyield(%)Lipase activity b(l g p NP/min)(U)Specific activity(U/mg)for15cmMSF microreactorSpecific activity fornative enzyme(U/mg)before immobilizationFabricated immobilized MSF 5.8375.59 4.70.81 1.06 a1mL of8mg/mL lipase solution was immobilized onto the MSF capillaryb1U=amount(mg)of enzyme to liberate1l g p NP/min under the assay conditionbefore immobilization(cf.Table1).Therefore,only about 23.6%of the enzyme activity was found to have been lost using the proposed immobilization process.This result is comparable with that found in other studies,for example specific activities of0.60–0.9were found using similar methods for lipase immobilized onto styrene–divinylben-zene and styrene–divinylbenzene–polyglutaraldehyde copoly-mers for biodiesel production[17].A goal in the development of the lipase immobilized MSF microreactor was to evaluate its performance in lipid transformations.This was done by transesterifying triole-oylglycerol(molecular weight884,TO)in ethanol in the MSF microreactor.From this reaction,the major transe-sterified products which were obtained were monooleoyl-glycerol(MO)and ethyl oleate(EE).Since MO and EE results from the hydrolysis of two and three ester bonds/ molecule,respectively,the theoretical conversion rates of trioleoylglycerol(TO)can be estimated from the measured lipase activity of4.7l g p NP/min(U)assuming that lipase catalysed hydrolysis of triacylglycerol(TAG)ester occurs at the same rate as the lipase catalysed hydrolysis of p NBP to give p NP.If this assumption is made,then the conver-sion rate of5mg/ml TO at1l L/min to MO and to EE would be predicted to be10and6.7l g/min(or0.0115and 0.0075mol/min),respectively.It is apparent that notwith-standing the gross assumptions made,the observed con-version rate(TO–MO)is of the same order of magnitude as the rate predicted based on the measured enzyme activity. This implies that to a rough approximation,the enzyme activity assay is quite consistent with the measured results for TO conversion(described in the next section).It should also be pointed out that canola oil rather than TO was actually used in the experiments,but this does not change the general arguments used above.Enzymatic-Catalyzed Ethanolysis Using the MSF MicroreactorThe ethanolysis of canola oil was performed using the lipase-immobilized MSF microreactor at different tem-peratures andflow rates,in order to determine the optimal conditions.The selected temperature range was chosen based on the optimized lipase enzyme conditions of other researchers including Irimescu et al.[12]and Ko¨se et al.[24]The former suggested optimal conditions at room temperature,while the latter indicated denaturation of enzyme at temperatures[50°C,by decreasing the reaction yield.The products obtained were then analysed by NARP-LC/ELSD and Fig.5a,b show the chromatograms obtained for both the starting material and pure standards.The conversion of TAG in canola oil was estimated by means of a calibration curve of a lipid standard consisting of TO, DO,MO and EE(Table2).The data in Table2show the relative concentrations of the reaction products obtained using aflow rate of 1l L/min of canola oil triacylglycerols(TAG)in ethanol solution passing through the lipase immobilized MSF microreactor,conditioned at various temperatures.From the LC/ELSD analysis it was found that whilst EE and monoacylglycerols(MAG)products were formed under all conditions,diacylglycerols(DAG)were not observed above the limit of detection,possibly due to the microscale nature of our study.The predominant formation of MO relative to DO is consistent with results of others[12].In Table2it is clear that at low temperatures,the conversion of TAG into other lipid forms was low,and a similar result was found at60°C.However,at around50°C virtually all of the TAG was consumed indicating a high efficiency of the immobilized lipase microreactor under these conditions.The effect of the reactionflow rate on the lipid con-version was then investigated with the temperaturefixed at50°C(cf.Fig.5c–e).As indicated in Fig.5c–e,the microreactorflow rates investigated included1,5and 10l L/min.The narrowflow rate range evaluated was due to the achievable linear force of the syringe pump utilized (Harvard‘11’Plus).The results show that the optimal flow rate for the enzymatic MSF microreactor reaction is at1l L/min,where complete disappearance of the TAG starting material was evident along with the formation of MAG and EE.As theflow rate increased above1l L/min, a broad‘hump’is seen in the chromatogram,co-eluting with unreacted starting material(Fig.5d,e).This is likely due to removal of oligomeric glutaraldehyde material from the walls of the microreactor attributable to the high pressures(*21psi)that occur with higherflow rates through the small channels in the MSF reactor.However, since theflow rate of1l L/min(which corresponds to a residence time of28.5s in the15cm MSF)allows suffi-cient contact time between the starting material and the lipase immobilized in the microreactors,these destructive conditions can be avoided.As demonstrated in Fig.5,the lipid transformation performance reduces asflow rate increases due to the lower contact time of the substrates with the immobilized lipase.At10l L/min the calculated MSF residence time was3s.Recently,there have been several reports describing how ethanolysis of TAG using immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica can,under certain conditions,become1,3regiospecific[12,25]. Furthermore,the reaction in excess ethanol can also pro-mote the formation of the2-MAG,compared to other products[26].For example,using an ethanol/TO molar ratio of77:1at25°C,Novozyme435beads and a reaction time of4h,Irimescu et al.[12]achieved an*88% reaction yield of which[98%of the acylglycerol content was2-monooleoylglycerol(2-MO).The actual molar ratio。

Information is provided to clarify and explain the requirements of Articles 504 and 505 of the National Electrical Code ®(NEC ®) ANSI/NFPA 70. (For further information, see Annex A.)NOTE ⎯ Throughout clause 3 and 4, text that has been excerpted from the National Electrical Code ® (NEC ® ) is distinguished from the main body of text as follows:• NEC® Article 500, 504 and 505 text is shaded and indented at the left and right margins.excerptedNEC®text (such as articles on sealing) is shaded but not indented.• OtherText from the National Electrical Code ® (NEC ®) is reprinted with permission from NFPA 70-2002, the National Electrical Code ®, Copyright© 2001, National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, MA 02269.National Electrical Code ® and NEC ® are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Inc., Quincy, MA 02269.1.2 This recommended practice applies to the installation of intrinsically safe systems for use in hazardous (classified) locations.2 Scope2.1 This recommended practice provides guidance to those who design, install, and maintain intrinsically safe systems for hazardous (classified) locations.2.2 This recommended practice should be used in conjunction with nationally recognized codes that cover wiring practices — such as the National Electrical Code ®(NEC ®), ANSI/NFPA 70, and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Part I, CSA C22.1.2.3 This recommended practice is not intended to:a) include guidance for designing, testing, or repairing intrinsically safe or associated apparatus; orb) apply to the use of portable equipment, except as shown on the control drawing.3 DefinitionsFor purposes of this recommended practice, the following definitions apply:3.1 approved:acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction (for additional information, see NEC ® Article 100).3.2 associated apparatus:Associated Apparatus: Apparatus in which the circuits are not necessarily intrinsicallysafe themselves, but that affect the energy in the intrinsically safe circuits and are reliedon to maintain intrinsic safety. Associated apparatus may be either of the following:—10ANSI/ISA-RP12.06.01-2003 —1. Electrical apparatus that has an alternative-type protection for use in the appropriatehazardous (classified) location, or2. Electrical apparatus not so protected that shall not be used within a hazardous(classified) location.FPN No. 1: Associated apparatus has identified intrinsically safe connections forintrinsically safe apparatus and also may have connections for nonintrinsically safeapparatus.FPN No. 2: An example of associated apparatus is an intrinsic safety barrier, which is anetwork designed to limit the energy (voltage and current) available to the protectedcircuit in the hazardous (classified) location, under specified fault conditions.3.3 authority having jurisdiction (AHJ):the organization, office, or individual responsible for approving equipment, materials, an installation, or a procedure.3.4 channel:an ungrounded conductor in a grounded intrinsically safe circuit, or a conductor and its reference in a galvanically isolated intrinsically safe circuit.3.5 controldrawing:Control Drawing: A drawing or other document provided by the manufacturer of theintrinsically safe or associated apparatus, or of the nonincendive field wiring apparatus orassociated nonincendive field wiring apparatus, that details the allowed interconnectionsbetween the intrinsically safe and associated apparatus or between the nonincendivefield wiring apparatus or associated nonincendive field wiring apparatus.3.6 corrective maintenance:any maintenance activity that is not normal in the operation of equipment and requires access to the equipment's interior. Such activities are expected to be performed by qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved. Such activities typically include locating causes of faulty performance, replacement of defective components (see 6.2.1), adjustment of internal controls, and the like. Corrective maintenance is referred to simply as maintenance in clause 6.3.7 different intrinsically safe circuits:Different Intrinsically Safe Circuits: Intrinsically safe circuits in which the possibleinterconnections have not been evaluated and identified as intrinsically safe.3.8 entity evaluation:a method used to determine acceptable combinations of intrinsically safe apparatus and connected associated apparatus that have not been investigated in such combination.3.8.1 Entity parameters for intrinsically safe apparatus:C i : Total equivalent internal capacitance of the apparatus that is considered as appearingacross the connection facilities of the apparatus.I i or I max : Maximum current (peak a.c. or d.c.) that can be applied to the connection facilities of theintrinsically safe apparatus circuits without invalidating intrinsic safety. The maximuminput current may be different for different terminals.L i : Total equivalent internal inductance of the apparatus that is considered as appearing across the connection facilities of the apparatus.L i/R i: The maximum value of ratio of inductance to resistance that is considered as appearing across the terminals of the intrinsically safe apparatus.P i: Maximum power in an external intrinsically safe circuit that can be applied to the connection facilities of the apparatus. The maximum input power may be different fordifferent terminals.U i or V max : Maximum voltage (peak a.c. or d.c.) that can be applied to the connection facilities of the apparatus without invalidating the type of protection. The maximum input voltage may bedifferent for different terminals.3.8.2 Entity parameters for associated apparatus:C o or C a : Maximum capacitance in an intrinsically safe circuit that can be connected to theconnection facilities of the apparatus.I o. or I sc : Maximum current (peak a.c. or d.c.) in an intrinsically safe circuit that can be taken fromthe connection facilities of the apparatus.L o or L a : Maximum inductance in an intrinsically safe circuit that can be connected to the connection facilities of the apparatus.L o/R o or L a/R a: The maximum value of ratio of inductance to resistance that may be connected to the intrinsically safe circuit of the associated apparatus.P o : Maximum electrical power in an intrinsically safe circuit that can be taken from the apparatus.U o or V oc : Maximum output voltage (peak a.c. or d.c.) in an intrinsically safe circuit that can appear under open-circuit conditions at the connection facilities of the apparatus.3.8.3 Additional entity parameters for associated apparatus with multiple channels may include the following:I t : The maximum DC or peak AC current that can be drawn from any combination ofterminals of a multiple-channel associated apparatus configuration.V t : The maximum DC or peak AC open circuit voltage that can appear across anycombination of terminals of a multiple-channel associated apparatus configuration.3.9 galvanic isolation:the transfer of electrical power or signal from one circuit to another by means that do not include a direct electrical connection (e.g., through an isolating transformer or optical coupler).3.10 hazardous (classified) location:a location in which fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases or vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers or flyings.3.11 identified:Identified (as applied to equipment). Recognizable as suitable for the specificpurpose, function, use, environment, application, and so forth, where described in aparticular Code requirement.FPN: Some examples of ways to determine suitability of equipment for a specificpurpose, environment, or application include investigations by a qualified testinglaboratory (listing and labeling), an inspection agency, or other organizationsconcerned with product evaluation.3.12 intrinsic safety:a type of protection in which a portion of the electrical system contains only intrinsically safe equipment (apparatus, circuits, and wiring) that is incapable of causing ignition in the surrounding atmosphere. No single device or wiring is intrinsically safe by itself (except for battery-operated, self-contained apparatus such as portable pagers, transceivers, gas detectors, etc., which are specifically designed as intrinsically safe, self-contained devices), but is intrinsically safe only when employed in a properly designed intrinsically safe system. Also see "associated apparatus."3.13 intrinsic safety barrier:a network designed to limit the energy (voltage and current) available to the protected circuit in the hazardous (classified) location, under specified fault conditions (see ISA 12.01.01).3.14 intrinsic safety ground system:a grounding system that has a dedicated conductor isolated from the power system, except at one point, so that ground currents will not normally flow, and that is reliably connected to a grounding electrode in accordance with Article 250 of the NEC ®.3.15 intrinsically safe apparatus:Intrinsically Safe Apparatus: Apparatus in which all the circuits are intrinsically safe.3.16 intrinsically safe circuit:Intrinsically Safe Circuit: A circuit in which any spark or thermal effect is incapable ofcausing ignition of a mixture of flammable or combustible material in air under prescribedtest conditions.FPN: Test conditions are described in ANSI/UL 913-1997 Standard for Safety,Intrinsically Safe Apparatus and Associated Apparatus for Use in Class I, II, and III,Division 1, Hazardous (Classified) Locations.3.17 intrinsically safe systems:Intrinsically Safe System: An assembly of interconnected intrinsically safe apparatus,associated apparatus, and interconnecting cables in that those parts of the system thatmay be used in hazardous (classified) locations are intrinsically safe circuits.FPN: An intrinsically safe system may include more than one intrinsically safe circuit.3.18 labeled:equipment or materials to which has been attached a label, symbol, or other identifying mark of an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with product evaluation, that maintains periodic inspection of production of labeled equipment or materials, and by whose labeling the manufacturer indicates compliance with appropriate standards or performance in a specified manner (for additional information, see NEC ® Article 100).3.19 listed:equipment, materials or services included in a list published by an organization acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with evaluation of products or services, that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials or periodic evaluation of services, and whose listing states that the equipment, material or services either meets appropriate designated standards or has been tested and found suitable for a specified purpose. (See NEC ® Article 100.)3.20 qualified person:one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training on the hazards involved.3.21 simple apparatus:Simple Apparatus. An electrical component or combination of components of simpleconstruction with well-defined electrical parameters which does not generate more than1.5 volt, 100 milliamps and 25 milliwatts, or a passive component which does notdissipate more than 1.3 watts and which is compatible with the intrinsic safety of thecircuit in which it is used.FPN: The following apparatus are examples of simple apparatus:a) Passive components, for example switches, junction boxes, resistance temperaturedevices and simple semiconductor devices such as LEDs;b) Sources of generated energy, for example thermocouples and photocells, which do notgenerate more than 1.5 V, 100 mA and 25 mW.3.22 unclassified locationsUnclassified Location:Locations determined to be neither Class I, Division 1; Class I, Division 2; Class I,Zone 0; Class I, Zone 1; Class I, Zone 2; Class II, Division 1; Class II, Division 2;Class III, Division 1; Class III, Division 2; or any combination thereof.3.23 wiring drawing:a drawing or other document created by the user based upon the relevant control drawings. The wiring drawing is used by the installer to determine the type, color, and size of the wire used to connect each terminal of the equipment used in the intrinsically safe circuit.4 Article 504 and 505 of the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70-2002) with explanation504.1 Scope. This article covers the installation of intrinsically safe (I.S.) apparatus,wiring, and systems for Class I, II, and III locations.504.2 Definitions.Associated Apparatus: Apparatus in which the circuits are not necessarily intrinsicallysafe themselves, but that affect the energy in the intrinsically safe circuits and are reliedon to maintain intrinsic safety. Associated apparatus may be either of the following:Intrinsic safety barriers are a common form of associated apparatus. These barriers are connected between the intrinsically safe apparatus and the control equipment. Their primary purpose is to limit the energy to the hazardous location under fault conditions. They may also provide isolation, signal conditioning, or both. There are also many types of associated apparatus that normally are not referred to as intrinsic safety barriers, but have energy-limiting circuits suitable for connection directly to intrinsically safe apparatus. An example of this type of associated apparatus is a controller that is not itself intrinsically safe, but has connections for intrinsically safe sensors.504.3 Application of Other Articles. Except as modified by this article, all applicablearticles of this Code shall apply.Although intrinsically safe circuits are inherently low-energy circuits, they may still be shock hazards because of the operating voltage.Clause 500.7 (E) provides an exception for intrinsically safe apparatus and wiring from the requirements of Articles 501 through 503 and 510 through 516. All other articles of the Code apply to intrinsically safe wiring, except as exempted by specific articles.If the rated voltage of the circuit exceeds 60 volts DC or 30 volts AC, the wiring requirements for Class 3 circuits apply. (See NEC ®Article 725.)Other articles may apply, depending on the functional application — e.g., Article 725 for cables installed in ducts, plenums, risers, and other air-handling spaces, Article 760 for fire protective signaling systems, and Article 800 for communications circuits.504.4 Equipment Approval. All intrinsically safe apparatus and associated apparatusshall be listed.Exception: Simple apparatus, as described on the control drawing, shall not be requiredto be listed.Electrical equipment that is listed or labeled by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) normally will be accepted by the AHJ. The AHJ may also accept specialized equipment not listed or labeled by a NRTL, with appropriate technical justification. A written report of the investigation and conclusion should be kept on file, and the markings on the equipment should identify the report. For additional information see NEC 90.7.504.10 Equipment Installation.(A) Control Drawing. Intrinsically safe apparatus, associated apparatus, and otherequipment shall be installed in accordance with the control drawing(s).Exception: A simple apparatus that does not interconnect intrinsically safe circuits.FPN: The control drawing identification is marked on the apparatus.There are three basic types of control drawings:a) Intrinsically safe apparatus and associated apparatus are both specified by manufacturer and modelnumber. (See figure 4.1 for an example.)b) Intrinsically safe apparatus is specified by manufacturer and model number for connection toassociated apparatus specified by entity parameters. (See figures 4.2a and 4.2b for an example.) c) Associated apparatus is specified by manufacturer and model number for connection to intrinsicallysafe apparatus that is specified by entity parameters or to simple apparatus. (See figures 4.3a and4.3b for an example.)Control drawings that are combinations of the above types are also possible. For example, control drawings for intrinsically safe apparatus often specify permissible connections to specific associated apparatus and also specify entity parameters to allow additional flexibility in selecting associated apparatus. (See figure 4.3c for an example.)To ensure that a given interconnection forms an intrinsically safe system, it is necessary to obtain control drawings that specify each intrinsically safe apparatus and associated apparatus to be interconnected. If a control drawing of the type shown in figure 4.1 that correctly describes the interconnection is available, only that control drawing is necessary.If the intrinsic safety of the system is to be based on the comparison of entity parameters, it is necessary to obtain a control drawing for each intrinsically safe apparatus and associated apparatus. Care should be taken to ensure that the entity parameters used in the comparison apply to the specific set(s) of terminals to be interconnected.If the system includes only simple apparatus connected to an associated apparatus, only the associated apparatus control drawing is necessary. Multiple channels of associated apparatus should not be connected to a single simple apparatus unless specifically permitted by the control drawing.Frequently, the user creates a wiring drawing based on the control drawings provided by the manufacturers of the intrinsically safe apparatus and associated apparatus or other specification sheets that provide information such as terminal identification.NOTE — Figures 4.1, 4.2a, 4.2b, 4.3a, 4.3b and 4.3.c were provided by the SP12.02 subcommittee.Figure 4.1 — Example of a control drawing for an intrinsically safe systemFigure 4.2a — Example of a control drawing for an intrinsically safe apparatus with entity parameters for Division 1 and Zone 0Figure 4.2b— Example of control drawing for an intrinsically safe apparatus with entity parameters for Zone 1Figure 4.3a — Example of a control drawing for an associated apparatus with entity parameters for Division 1 and Zone 0。

Online booksellers face highercosts for shipping abroadTHE Postal Service is taking the “ship” out of shipping, and thousands of small online booksellers are bracing for trouble.The post office said last month that as of mid-May, it would no longer transport goods internationally via cargo ships for individual customers. These so-called surface deliveries have been the crucial method by which booksellers have sold books to foreign markets because the cost is about one-third that of air mail.Analysts said would not be affected by the change; international book shipments represent a small fraction of its business, and because, like otherhigh-volume businesses, it can qualify for discounts on foreign shipments.But many thousands of smaller used-and rare-book merchants say they will suffer, since they rely on foreign demand.“If postage costs as much, if not more, than the book, it’ll be hard to sell books,”said Rob Stuart, owner of , a seller of rare and antique books in Frenchboro, Maine.“And maybe 25 percent or more of my books sell internationally.”In announcing the changes last month, the post office said demand for international air-mail delivery was increasing at the expense of sea-borne services, which account for just 2.7 percent of foreign deliveries.“As a result, efficient international surface delivery networks have diminish ed and costs have dramatically increased,” the Postal Service said.Mr. Stuart calle d the changes “a brutal reality” that put him in a difficult position, since his entire town may feel the effects. His company has shipped enough rare and antique books to sustain mail deliveries for the 75 residents of Frenchboro, an island about eight miles off Maine’s northeast coast. Now Mr. Stuart, who is also a town selectman, said the island’s mail deliveries could be threatened, and he may also be forced to lay off a part-time worker.Yvonne Yoerger, a spokeswoman for the Postal Service, said customers aren’t yet aware of other options. She said “customized agreements”for surface mail are being developed for higher-volume shippers that will be enhanced over the next several months to address the needs of small businesses. “The Postal Service has a longstanding commitment to small businesses and is working to accommodate customers needs as the international mail changes take effect,”Ms. Yoerger said.Philip Bevis, chief executive of Arundel Books, which sells online and in its Seattle store, said he did not believe such customized agreements would extend to small booksellers like him.“I think the Postal Service dangled that to defuse any pushback,”Mr. Bevis said. “If they were really serious about this, they would’ve pushed back the cancellation of surface mail until they could incorporate these other standards.”Because small booksellers typically list their inventories with multiple Web sites, like Amazon, and , the new shipping costs will be felt, to varying degrees, up the industry’s food chain until those customized agreements are final.The falling dollarTHE dollar’s tumble this week was attended by predictable shrieks from the markets; but as it fell to a 20-month low of $1.32 against the euro, the only real surprise was that it had not slipped sooner. Indeed, there are good reasons to expect its slide to continue, dragging it below the record low of $1.36 against the euro that it hit in December 2004.The recent decline was triggered by nasty news about the American economy. New figures this week suggested that the housing market’s troubles are having a wider impact on the economy. Consumer confidence and durable-goods orders both fell more sharply than expected. In contrast, German business confidence has risen to a 15-year high. There are also mounting concerns that central banks in China and elsewhere, which have been piling up dollars assiduously for years, may start selling.Yet cyclical factors only partly explain why the dollar has been strong. At bottom, its attractiveness is based more on structural factors—or, more accurately, on an illusion about structural differences between the American and European economies.The main reason for the dollar’s strength has been the widespread belief that the American economy vastly outperformed the world’s other rich country economies in recent years. But the figures do not support the hype. Sure, America’s GDP growth has been faster than Europe’s, but that is mostly because its population has grown more quickly too. Dig deeper and the difference shrinks. Official figures of productivity growth, which should in theory be an important factor driving currency movements, exaggerate America’s lead. If the two are measured on a comparable basis, productivity growth over the past decade has been almost the same in the euro area as it has in America. Even more important, the latest figures suggest that, whereas productivity growth is now slowing in America, it is accelerating in the euro zone.So, contrary to popular perceptions, America’s economy has not significantly outperformed Europe’s in recent years. And to achieve this not-much-better-than parity, America has had to pump itself full of steroids. Since 2000 its structural budget deficit (after adjusting for the impact of the economic cycle) has widened sharply, while American households’saving rate has plunged, causing the current-account deficit to swell. Over the same period, the euro-area economies saw no fiscal stimulus and household saving barely budged.America’s growth, thus, has been driven by consumer spending. That spending, supported by dwind ling saving and increased borrowing, is clearly unsustainable; and the consequent economic and financial imbalances must inevitably unwind. As that happens, the country could face a prolonged period of slower growth.As for Europe, the old continent is hobbled by inflexible product and labour markets. But that, paradoxically, is an advantage: it means the place has a lot of scope for improvement. Some European countries are beginning to contemplate (and, to a limited extent, undertake) economic reforms. If they push ahead, their growth could actually speed up over the coming years. Once investors spot this, they are likely to conclude that the euro is a better bet than the dollar.Democrats and global warmingA RECENT sketch on “Saturday Night Live” suggested how the world would be ifAl Gore had won the presidency in 2000. “In the last six years we have been able to stop global warming,” intoned Mr Gore. “No one could have predicted the negative results of this. Glaciers tha t once were melting are now on the attack.”Nerdy environmentalism is Mr Gore’s forte. He would have ridden thathobby-horse in the 2000 campaign, according to Joe Klein in “Politics Lost”, if his political consultants had not muzzled him. Now, almost alone, he has brought his favourite issue back into the political spotlight. His film about the horrors of global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth”, opened this week in Los Angeles and New York.With it comes inevitable talk of another try at the presidency. Mr Gore consistently waves that away. But other prominent Democrats are raising their voices for the cause. This week Senator Hillary Clinton urged action on global warming in a big speech on energy policy in Washington, DC. Notably, she praised Mr Gore (now a potential rival for 2008, whatever he says) as a “committed visionary on global warming for more than two decades”. Last week, her husband Bill told graduates at the University of Texas’s public affairs school in Austin—as temperatures outside soared to 34°C—that “Climate change is more remote than terror, but a more profound threat.”Do voters care? Although a Gallup poll this spring found that 67% of respondents thought the quality of the envir onment was “getting worse” (a fairly steady rise from 54% in 2002), climate change is hardly in the class of Iraq or health care. And it is still rare for politicians to mention it on the stump. Bill Ritter, the Democratic nominee for governor in Colorado, notes that global warming is a worry for the ski industry in his state—but says his audiences care more about the quality of their water or their air. Most midwestern politicians nowadays cannot talk enough about alternative fuels, but they link them to the economy (and national security) rather than climate change, hoping for a boost for local corn or soyabean farmers.A few bad hurricanes may change that indifference. The 2006 season begins next week, and federal meteorologists predict it will be particularly nasty. Although conservative s have vigorously disputed the link between global warming and last year’s dreadful storms, another Katrina could push people over the edge. Gregg Easterbrook of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, says that politicians also need a new tack. Instead of dwelling on gloom and doom, they should appeal to American optimism, emphasising that the problem can probably be solved after all, and cheaper and faster than anyone thinks.And what about conservatives? George Bush has recently conceded that America is “addicted to oil”, but he still argues about the causes of global warming. (“He may be the last person in America who refuses to accept the science on this,” sighs Jay Inslee, a congressman from Washington state.) John McCain, another possible presidential contender in 2008, has been out in front. He has sponsored legislation (with Joe Lieberman, a Democrat) for cap-and-trade emissions of greenhouse gases, and declared in a recent speech in Phoenix that “Climate change is real and is having a major impact on our way of life.”Seychelles: A president in paradiseBEST known as a destination for honeymooners in search of perfect white beaches and sway ing palms, the Seychelles islands rarely make any sort of headlines. Few tourists would even have noticed the presidential election on July 30th, in which James Michel, leader of the Seychelles People’s Progressive Front, was returned with 54% of the ballot. For Mr. Michel, it was the first time he had faced theislands-62,000-odd voters, having been promoted from vice-president two years ago by his predecessor, Albert René, who had ruled the islands for 27 years since taking power in a coup in 1977.To the casual eye, Seychelles seems both fortunate and well governed. The 115 islands, most of them uninhabited, cover a mere 445 square kilometers (175 square miles) of the Indian Ocean, north of Madagascar, and enjoy several advantages over most of the rest of Africa. The weather is never extreme. There is no malaria. The islanders have free education and health care. Their multiracial society is pretty harmonious. With GDP at around $8,000 a head, there is almost no discernible poverty.But this standard of living has come at a cost: the IMF says its public debt is too high and may be un sustain able. Mr. Michel’s main opposition, the Seychelles National Party, which scored 46% in the elections, claims that Seychelles, per person, is the world’s most indebted country; with some $590m of external debt for just82,000 people, it is certainly one of them. A black market in foreign currency already exists as speculation persists that the government, unable to meet its obligations, may be forced to devalue. Basic consumer goods sometimes run out. If, as the IMF predicts, GDP falls by over 1% this year, Mr. Michel may find his next five years in power more testing than he had hoped.The country needs more ways of making money. In the cold war, it was easy. The Seychelles played each side off against the other, remaining a member of the Commonwealth as well as the Non-Aligned Movement and taking military aid from the Soviet Union while leas ing a satellite tracking station to the Americans. Since those stream s of revenue dried up, the main Seychellois streams of revenue have been from tourism—leasing land to foreign hoteliers—and from tuna: the government earns about $200m a year from selling tuna-fishing licenses to Spain, France and South Korea.But conflict in the Middle East has brought Seychelles an unexpected bonus: Western warships stop off in the islands, which offer rest and recreation. The soldiers and sailors scuba dive, sail and drink Seybrew, the local beer—and pay for it all in hard currency.41。

法玛西亚
法玛西亚·普强公司:Rogaine生发药组员:孙豪霞王贝贝目录一、背景 (1)二、企业目前解决的主要问题 (3)三、形势分析 (4)四、SWOT分析 (8)五、渠道分析 (10)六、解决方案 (10)七、结论 (12)一、背景(一)公司背景法玛西亚﹒普强股份有限公司是由瑞典的法玛西亚公司和美国的普强公司于1995年11月合并成立的。
这次合并使新公司成为世界第九大制药公司。
法玛西亚﹒普强公司是人类健康护理产品和相关产品的提供者,经营范围遍及全球。
该公司的管理中心位于英国伦敦,主要的研究和制造中心分散在美国、瑞典、意大利。
公司销售额的90%来自药品,诊所、生物技术或生物试剂产品占10%。
公司大约70%的销售额是在美国以外地区实现的。
该公司每年的研究开发预算为10亿美元,主要集中在开发新产品和产品线延伸。
(二)相关产品背景1996年2月9日,美国食品药品管理局(FDA)批准Rogaine生发药可以无需医生处方销售。
Rogaine是当时被医学证明唯一有效的治疗男女普通遗传性脱发的生发药物,从1988年起在美国作为处方药物开始销售。
非处方的Rogaine定于1996年4月开始销售,到那时,作为处方药的Rogaine将终止销售。
普强公司请求FDA批准对非处方Rogaine 为期三年的独家销售权。
但是1996年4月5日,其申请被拒绝。
这意味着其垄断地位也将没有了,而开始与市场上其他产品进行竞争。
二、企业目前解决的主要问题独家销售权的失去和竞争产品的出现改变了竞争环境,Rogaine已经不再是唯一含2%米诺西定的头发生长产品了,因而失去了垄断地位。
这对Rogaine的销售会产生一定的影响。
原来产品预期五年内的销售额达到10亿美元的数据现在是否需要调整?应该修订为多少?所以其以前制定的营销计划必须进行修订。
企业目前解决的主要问题是如何对以前制定的营销计划进行修订。
三、形势分析3.1 行业分析1、据估计据估计,美国有4000万男性秃顶和2000万头发稀疏,消费者每年在治疗方面的花费大约13亿美元(据下表所示),产业的发展空间很大。

Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):The Moderating Roles of Attainment Discrepancy and Organization SlackPunit Arora*and Ravi DharwadkarABSTRACTManuscript Type:EmpiricalResearch Question:Is the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and corporate social responsibility (CSR)contingent on satisfaction with firm performance?Research Findings/Insights:Our results suggest that while effective corporate governance discourages both positive (proactive stakeholder relationship management)and negative (violation of regulations and standards)CSR,higher slack and positive attainment discrepancy lead to higher positive and lower negative CSR,respectively.More significantly,we find that the association between effective corporate governance and both positive and negative CSR depends on satisfaction with firm performance as indicated by the levels of slack and attainment discrepancy.Put simply,the impact of corporate governance on positive CSR is more pronounced under low slack/negative attainment discrepancy conditions,and that on negative CSR is more pronounced under high slack/positive attainment discrepancy conditions.Theoretical/Academic Implications:Our study provides robust support for the behavioral theory of the firm.Previous research has not adequately considered the role of satisfaction with firm performance in studying the impact of corporate governance on managerial decision-making.We show that the association between corporate governance and CSR dimen-sions depends on differences in decision-making latitude originating from relative firm performance compared to those of peer firms.Practitioner/Policy Implications:First,to understand how effective corporate governance can constrain positive CSR and more importantly reduce negative CSR.Second,to appreciate that the effectiveness of an organization’s governance mechanisms is contingent on slack and performance and the marginal returns from improving governance mechanisms when things are going well may be low.Keywords:Corporate Governance,Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR),Behavioral Theory of the Firm (BTOF),Attainment Discrepancy,Organizational SlackINTRODUCTIONManagement scholars have been interested in under-standing the impact of corporate governance mechanisms such as ownership and boards of directors on corporate social responsibility (CSR)ratings (Coffey &Fryxell,1991;Johnson &Greening,1999;Waddock &Graves,1997).Scholars examining ownership implications argue that institutional owners,the dominant class of owners,are myopic and concerned with quarterlyperformance targets,and therefore,reduce CSR expendi-tures,given the long-term horizons and uncertain outcomes associated with them (Coffey &Fryxell,1991).Other schol-ars argue that institutional investors cannot exit the firm very easily,therefore undertake more CSR to mitigate the risk of adverse regulatory action,higher compliance costs,consumer retaliation,and so on (Neubaum &Zahra,2006;Spicer,1978).To resolve this paradox,scholars posit that different types of institutional owners may have different interests in CSR.For example,Johnson and Greening (1999:564)argue that “some categories of institutional investors act more as traders concerned predominantly with quarterly earnings and that others act as long-term investors ...more concerned with a firms social performance because it may*Address for correspondence:Martin J.Whitman School of Management,721Univer-sity Avenue,Syracuse University,Syracuse,NY,13244,USA.Tel:(315)443-3468;E-mail:punit@136Corporate Governance:An International Review ,2011,19(2):136–152©2011Blackwell Publishing Ltd doi:10.1111/j.1467-8683.2010.00843.ximpactfinancial performance over time.”Nonetheless, the empirical evidence continues to be mixed(Coffey& Fryxell,1991;Coffey&Wang,1998;Graves&Waddock, 1994;Johnson&Greening,1999;Kassinis&V afeas,2002; Neubaum&Zahra,2006).Similarly,scholars examining board implicationsfind that the proportion of independent directors on the board has a diametrically opposite impact on CSR depending on the studies considered(Coffey&Wang,1998;Johnson&Green-ing,1999;Kassinis&V afeas,2002;Kesner&Johnson,1990; Wang&Coffey,1992).Some scholars argue that since the selection of a greater number of independent directors signals thefirm’s intent to pay greater attention to its exter-nal environment and legitimacy(Pfeffer&Salancik,1978),it should be associated with increased CSR expenditures (Johnson&Greening,1999).Others argue that as directors are hired primarily to protect shareholders’interests:“an effective board may actually serve to screen and eliminate philanthropic intentions”(Coffey&Wang,1998:1598). Further,because a vast majority of these directors are hired for theirfinancial expertise(Fligstein,1991),it may be much easier for them to evaluate historicalfinancial information than to make uncertain strategic decisions such as on R&D, internal innovation,entrepreneurship,and CSR(e.g., Baysinger&Hoskisson,1990;Deutsch,2005;Lorsch& MacIver,1989).In summary,as further encapsulated in Appendix1,the relationship between various governance mechanisms and CSR is still far from clear.To resolve the ambiguity surrounding thesefindings,this study makes three distinctive advances.First,we theorize that one of the reasons for lack of clarity on the relationship between corporate governance and CSR could relate to the substitution effect(e.g.,Rediker&Seth,1995),which refers to the interdependence among various governance mecha-nisms.Unlike previous research that usually assesses the implications of various corporate governance mechanisms in isolation(Coffey&Wang,1998;Johnson&Greening, 1999;Kesner&Johnson,1990),we adapt the recommenda-tions of Agrawal and Knoeber(1996)and use four gover-nance variables in our model:independent director representation,concentrated institutional shareholding, managerial ownership,and strength of shareholder rights. Managerial ownership–thefirst level of governance–is expected to provide a direct incentive to managers to under-take value-maximizing behavior(e.g.,Amihud&Lev,1981; Davis,1991;Denis,Denis,&Sarin,1997;Gedajlovic& Shapiro,2002;Morck,Shleifer,&Vishny,1988).Indepen-dent directors,tasked with supervision of managerial decision-making on behalf of shareholders,are the second layer of governance arrangements.Concentrated institu-tional owners–the third layer–are assumed to have both the ability and the means to supervise managerial decision-making,and thus are expected to act as a secondary means of securing principals’(owners’)tighter control over their agents(managers).Lastly,the threat of takeover by other firms operates as thefinal check on the agents,which essen-tially implies that if thefirms are not well managed they would be good candidates for takeover by those who believe they can manage them better.Our choice of these governance mechanisms not only addresses substitution possibilities within the internal governance mechanisms (managerial ownership,institutional ownership concentra-tion,outsiders on boards)but also considers the potential effects of strong shareholder rights(or the lack thereof)for CSR.Second,previous research has come under increasing criticism for combining positive and negative dimensions of CSR(Chiu&Sharfman,2009;Godfrey,Merrill,&Hansen, 2009;Kacperczyk,2009;Mattingly&Berman,2006;Strike, Gao,&Bansal,2006).This literature suggests that positive CSR acts such as sustainable practices,commitment-based employment practices,corporate philanthropy and effective relations with local community are not on the same con-tinuum as avoiding negative CSR acts such as violations of regulatory guidelines on environment or equal employment opportunities,health and safety concerns,or controversial actions such as on human or employment rights.While posi-tive CSR involves proactive stakeholder relationship man-agement,negative CSR involves reactive compliance with minimum standards,and hence these should not be com-bined.In deference to these studies,we make two separate composite ratings–positive and negative CSR–and run separate regressions models for each of them.We believe this helps us in significantly advancing the debate on the nature of the relationship between governance and CSR. Finally,previous research(e.g.,Waddock&Graves,1997) suggests that whenfirms perform well,they are more likely to invest in CSR.We formally incorporate this idea by using theoretical concepts based in the behavioral theory of the firm(Cyert&March,1963)and examine how the concept of attainment discrepancy–the difference between actual and aspired performance–determines levels of CSR.We suggest that when afirm is perceived to be doing well,independent directors or concentrated owners may:1)not feel the need for close monitoring;and2)place greater trust in managers’judgment,giving them greater latitude in decision-making. Moreover,in such situations,managers are also likely to deal with their monitors from a position of strength.Conversely, if thefirm is perceived to be not doing well,managers may not have much decision-making latitude even under rela-tively weak governance conditions.We make similar argu-ments about another behavioral theory of thefirm(BTOF) factor,the concept of slack and how it relates to decision-making about CSR.Thus,we theorize that under identical governance conditions,managers could have vastly different decision-making latitude based on the two BTOF factors, namely,attainment discrepancy and slack.THEORY AND HYPOTHESESDEVELOPMENTCorporate Governance and CSRIn order to clarify the nature of relationship between corpo-rate governance and CSR,it is important to make a distinc-tion between positive and negative CSR so that we can separately examine the implications of corporate governance for both enabling effective decision-making(e.g.,proactive sustainability practices)and preventing poor decision-making(e.g.,violation of environmental regulations).This is important not just from an empirical perspective–previousCORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CSR137Volume19Number2March2011©2011Blackwell Publishing Ltdresearch(e.g.,Mattingly&Berman,2006)highlights that these two dimensions of CSR do not load together in factor analysis,which may be one of the reasons for inconsistent findings–but also from a theoretical viewpoint,which would suggest that effective governance should always curtail negative CSR,while determining the levels of posi-tive CSR based on a cost-benefit analysis.Therefore,to the extent that good governance is associated with better moni-toring,in general,we expect it to be associated with lower negative CSR,as the failure to comply with rules and regu-lations can lead to penalties and bad publicity that effective monitors would consider avoidable.This insight is valuable as previous governance research has predominantly focused on the upsides of effective governance(i.e.,value creation, accounting profits,etc.)and rarely considered the benefits of preventing potential downside losses and associated costs. However,the relationship between effective governance and positive CSR is a little more complex because while positive CSR has potential benefits forfirm performance, these benefits are more long-term and uncertain in nature. Thus,mainly those who have a long-term interest in the firm may prefer them.In contrast,if these governance mechanisms focus on the short-term,then the costs of CSR will likely outweigh the benefits.For example,institutional owners concerned with meeting their short-term goals and achieving their performance targets may not want manag-ers to invest in CSR due to goal conflicts relating to time horizons and uncertainty of outcomes(e.g.,Bushee,1998). This may result in a pressure on the managers to reduce positive CSR,which would be especially true for those institutional investors who are primarily short-term, momentum traders(Neubaum&Zahra,2006),those who prefer to remain passive(Edwards&Hubbard,2000; Pound,1992;Wahal,1996),or those who have fairly diver-sified and indexed portfolios(Dharwadkar,Goranova, Brandes,&Khan,2008).Similarly,since selection of a greater number of indepen-dent directors signals afirm’s intent to pay greater atten-tion to its external environment and legitimacy(Pfeffer& Salancik,1978),it could lead to higher other hand,because these directors are primarily appointed to protect share-holders’interests,independent boards may consider higher positive CSR to be not in the interest of thefirm.Baysinger and Hoskisson(1990)and Lorsch and MacIver(1989) support this contention by arguing that a vast majority of independent directors are hired byfinancial institutions for theirfinancial expertise,which means they likelyfind it much easier to evaluate historically availablefinancial infor-mation rather than uncertain strategic information.They are primarily the agents of the shareholders,a majority of which arefinancial institutions with short-term interests. Thus,they shouldfind it much easier to justify short-term gains than long-term uncertain investments.In turn, investment in R&D,internal innovation,entrepreneurship, and other functions with uncertain returns tends to display a negative relationship with greater outsider representation on boards(Baysinger,Kosnik,&Turk,1991;Deutsch,2005; Hill&Snell,1988;Hoskisson,Hitt,Johnson,&Grossman, 2002;Zahra,1996).Because CSR shares these characteris-tics,greater outsider representation may lead to lower CSR investments.While some attention has been paid to boards and owners in this domain,limited research has examined the implications of managerial ownership and shareholder rights for CSR.In both cases,the effects on negative CSR are clear.High managerial ownership and greater share-holder rights that allow for market interventions should reduce negative CSR.Similar to our earlier arguments,their effect on positive CSR would depend on the time horizons of the CEO as well as the type of owners of thefirm,and short-term horizons on part of managers and owners will reduce CSR.Our arguments at thefirm level can also be augmented using Mackey,Mackey,and Barney(2007),who propose that the relationship between CSR andfirm value may depend on demand for and supply of socially responsible investments, and only when its demand exceeds supply thefirm may benefit from it.They further argue that“from a broader theoretical perspective,the entire effort to discover how socially responsible activities can increase the present value of afirm’s future cashflows is problematic.After all,the essential point of many business and society scholars is that...thefirms should sometimes engage in activities that benefit employees,suppliers,customers,and society at large,even if those activities reduce the present value of the cashflows generated by thefirm”(2007:818).While this value-reducing behavior may be acceptable to socially responsible investors,it may not be acceptable to other investors.As the Social Investment Forum(2010)suggests that about one in eight dollars under professional manage-ment in the United States today uses some form of socially responsible investing(SRI)(Geczy,Stambaugh,&Levin, 2003),we argue that given the current levels of SRI,the demand for SRI is likely to be lower than the supply of SRI and therefore effective governance structures will ensure that managers act in the interest of their principals.In summary,overall the relationship between effective gover-nance and negative CSR is clear-cut as the downside costs will encroach onfirm value.Similarly,the benefits-costs tradeoffs at thefirm level along with the broader implica-tions of demand and supply of SRI would suggest that under the current circumstances,effective governance should also reduce positive CSR.Hypothesis1a.Effective corporate governance is negatively associated with positive CSR.Hypothesis1b.Effective corporate governance is negatively associated with negative CSR.Behavioral Theory of the Firm(BTOF)and CSR Ever since Cyert and March(1963)developed the view of organizations as coalitions of stakeholders,management scholars have been cognizant that unresolved conflict is an important feature of organizations and the coalitions within them.Most types of resource allocation decisions within organizations are therefore an outcome of the coalition bargaining processes,which may either depend on the primacy of certain stakeholders or be subject to negotia-tions across coalitions of stakeholders.Most resource allo-cation decisions that lead to corporate social programs can be viewed in this light,yet research has not accorded due138CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Volume19Number2March2011©2011Blackwell Publishing Ltdimportance to such processes(Barnett,2007;Scherer& Palazzo,2007).In particular,research has not considered the role of shareholder satisfaction,and how that might affect manag-ers’ability to allocate resources for CSR.This is an important issue because the benefits from CSR,like benefits from any other strategic action such as innovation activity,are uncer-tain and unclear.If such is the case,shareholders should be more inclined to trust their agents to make the“right”deci-sions when they are satisfied than when they are not.When afirm has abundant discretionary resources and its actual performance exceeds aspirations,managers will have sig-nificant discretionary powers,from a coalitional perspective, even under strong governance conditions.However,when the converse is true,decision-making latitude for managers will be far more constrained and possibly driven by short-term concerns for cost cutting in reaction to weak perfor-mance.Therefore,it is important to consider these two key factors from BTOF–attainment discrepancy and organiza-tional slack–that have implications not only for corporate governance(i.e.,balance of power between owners and managers)but also provide insight into whyfirms may engage differently in positive and negative CSR.Attainment Discrepancy and CSR.BTOF highlights the importance offirms as systems with aspirations and perfor-mance expectations(Cyert&March,1963).Thefirm’s rela-tive performance with respect to its past performance or industry peers has important and well-documented impli-cations for resource allocation decisions(Lant,1992).Specifi-cally,firms performing below the industry average aspire to reach the industry average,andfirms performing above the mean for their industry aspire to improve on their past per-formance(Bromiley,1991;Fiegenbaum&Thomas,1988). Lant(1992:624)developed and labeled this concept as “attainment discrepancy,”which simply reflects the differ-ence between actual and aspired performance.If actual per-formance is better than aspired performance,a positive attainment discrepancy results;and if it is lower,a negative attainment discrepancy occurs.In the case of positive attainment discrepancy,sharehold-ers should repose greater trust in managers and allow them higher discretion in resource allocations.However,in the case of negative attainment discrepancy,managerial discre-tion may be limited(Bromiley,Miller,&Rau,2001)as share-holders are less trusting of managerial decision-making and more prone to pressuring them towards meeting sharehold-ers’goals.For example,if afirm aspired towards a return on asset of3per cent and its actual profits turn out to be5per cent,shareholders would be more willing to allow managers to invest a portion of the higher earnings on CSR than if its actual profits turn out to be1per cent,in which shareholders may want to reduce CSR allocations to a bare minimum. Thus,managers probably have higher discretion in paying attention to social domains in the case of positive attainment discrepancy than in case of negative attainment discrepancy. Alternatively,poor performance on this BTOF dimension may pressure managers into cutting corners in order to improve performance,a condition likely to be associated with increased negative CSR.Hypothesis2a.Positive attainment discrepancy is positively associated with positive CSR.Hypothesis2b.Positive attainment discrepancy is negatively associated with negative CSR.Organization Slack and anization slack,an important behavioral theory construct,signifies the exist-ence of a“cushion of actual or potential resources”that enables thefirm to adapt to internal or external necessities for strategic change(Bourgeois,1981:30).The availability of resources not only providesfirms with the opportunities to commit resources to social causes(e.g.,Waddock&Graves, 1997),but also makes them less resistant to stakeholders’demands.While a few recent studies have examined the role of slack on determining levels of CSR,they generally usedfinancial performance as a proxy for slack(e.g.,Amato&Amato, 2007;Waddock&Graves,1997).The use of this proxy is problematic because the relationship between slack and financial performance itself is not very clear;some previous research indicates a positive relationship and others reveal a curvilinear relationship such that there must be a point beyond which slack becomes a wasted resource(e.g.,Nohria &Gulati,1996).The other problem with the use offinancial performance as a measure of slack is that unlike recent studies on the role of slack in determining various organi-zational outcomes(e.g.,George,2005),it does not really distinguish between high discretion(uncommitted liquid resources)and low discretion(absorbed costs)components of slack,which is important because the latter is hard to recover and may provide little discretion to management. Therefore,as afirst step,research should use only high-discretion slack measures in studying the CSR(Arora,2008), which with the exceptions of Navarro(1988)and Seifert, Morris,and Bartkus(2004),studies have not done. Second,high discretion slack itself can be divided into two categories–available slack and potential slack,where potential slack refers tofirm’s capacity to quickly raise cash resources,if required.Navarro(1988)studied the impact of potential slack(measured by debt/equity ratio)only.There-fore,an improved research design should include both avail-able and potential slack.Along the lines of our previous arguments regarding attainment discrepancy,we expect higher slack to enable higher positive CSR and lower slack to induce increased negative CSR.Hypothesis3a.High discretion slack is positively associated with positive CSR.Hypothesis3b.High discretion slack is negatively associated with negative CSR.Integrating Corporate Governance,Behavioral Theory of the Firm,and CSRThe implications of governance for CSR should be contin-gent on the resource endowment situation of thefirm,and these are best understood with the help of a visual depiction. While Figure1shows that the relationship between gover-nance and CSR is moderated by satisfaction withfirm per-CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CSR139Volume19Number2March2011©2011Blackwell Publishing Ltdformance,Figure2provides more specific details on the nature of the hypothesized relationships.In Figure2,along the horizontal axis,we consider managerial decision-making latitude about CSR based on satisfaction withfirm performance as determined by availability of slack resources and achievement offinancial aspirations.Along the vertical axis,we consider corporate governance effectiveness as determined by levels of managerial ownership,independent director representation,concentrated institutional owner-ship,and shareholder rights.While considering the relation-ships portrayed in Figure2,it is important to keep in mind that we are talking about general trends and not specificfirm strategies.Somefirms may–and indeed do–defy these expectations,but in general,we expect these relationships to hold.We theorize that effective corporate governance and low slack and negative attainment discrepancy represent a situ-ation of least managerial discretion regarding positive CSR expenditures.Also,while low slack and negative attainment discrepancy may provide the enabling conditions for involvement in negative CSR,effective governance should curtail that tendency.Overall,we expect effective gover-nance factors to dominate behavioral theory factors in influ-encing managerial discretion regarding CSR expenditures. In sharp contrast,we theorize that ineffective corporate gov-ernance in conjunction with high slack and high attainment discrepancy should enable managers to undertake a high level of positive CSR,while reducing their need to be involved in negative CSR.This quadrant reflects a situation of high managerial discretion with respect to CSR activities. Therefore,we expect behavioral theory factors to dominate corporate governance factors.In contrast to these two situations(wherein one factor dominates the other),firms in the top right quadrant have both strong corporate governance and high satisfac-tion withfirm performance.Under these circumstances, the managerial tendency to engage in positive CSR is likely to be curtailed in the face of effective governance,given our earlier arguments.Moreover,the implications for nega-tive CSR are very clear in this quadrant–both resource and governance factors in combination should reduce negative CSR.Finally,firms in the bottom left quadrant have weak governance and a weak resource situation. While the resource situation may constrain positive CSR (despite the weak governance context),the combination of ineffective governance and a weak resource situation may provide the enabling condition for very high levels of negative CSR.Hypothesis4a.Effective corporate governance is less negatively associated with positive CSR under conditions of high slack and positive attainment discrepancy.Hypothesis4b.Effective corporate governance is more nega-tively associated with negative CSR under conditions of high slack and positive attainment discrepancy.METHODSStudy SampleWe draw our sample from the S&P500and KLD Domini400 Universe.First,we collect social performance ratings for all thefirms,included in these two indices,during the period of 2001–2005by thefirm Kinder,Lyndenberg,and Domini (KLD).Second,we obtain information about institutional ownership,corporate governance,andfinancial perfor-mance for thesefirms.The information about institutional ownership comes from the CDA/Spectrum Thomson Finan-cial’s13F database;corporate governance is based on the RiskMetrics(IRCC)database;andfinancial performance comes from the Compustat North America database.We lead the dependent variable by a year to ensure that the independent variables predate the dependent variable.Thus, the information about the independent variables pertains to the years2000to2004.Missing data brought thefinal sample down to1522observations for518firms.Appendix2details thesefirms by type of industry.Dependent VariablesCorporate Social Responsibility.We use archival ratings of CSR as the dependent variable,obtained from thefirm KLD Inc.The use of KLD ratings of corporate social respon-sibility is fairly standard in the literature;the ratings con-sider allfirms in Standard&Poor500or KLD Domini400 Universe for the period2001–2005on82indicators in eightFIGURE1Satisfaction with Firm Performance as a Moderator in the Relationship Between Corporate Governanceand CSRCorporate Governance Corporate SocialResponsibility Managerial ownershipIndependent Directors Institutional Ownership Shareholder rights (GIM Governance index)Positive CSRNegative CSR Satisfaction with FirmPerformanceSlackAttainment DiscrepancyFIGURE2Specific Relationships Between Corporate Governance,Satisfaction with Firm Performance,and Positive andNegative CSR140CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Volume19Number2March2011©2011Blackwell Publishing Ltd。

AUTODESK® VAULT 2011PROPERTIES INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEWConcepts and common administrative tasks are described in this paper. This paper is not a comprehensive description - complete details are available through Vault 2011 Help. Most of the features described are in all Vault 2011 products. However, some features are only available in the higher levels of the Vault product line.IntroductionThe property system for Vault 2011 is a single set of properties that are shared across files, items, change orders and reference designators. There are two types of properties: System and User Defined Properties (UDP.) System properties cannot be deleted but do support some configuration options like renaming and a few support mapping. Duplicate property names are not permitted for either type.UDP’s are custom created properties that support assignment to object groups, policy constraints and mapping of values with file and BOM properties. With each new vault there are numerous UDP’s supplied as part of the default configuration.Some of the highlights of the new property system:o Consistent user interface for all property managemento Property constraint overrides by categoryo Streamlined Edit Properties wizardo New vertical properties grid supports multiple files as well as Items & Change Orders o‘Lists’ support text and number data types as well as addition and removal of valueso Standardized mapping for all property sourceso Bi-directional mappingProperty DefinitionA property definition contains a name, data type, policy settings and mappings. The definition also specifies which object groups are associated with and may utilize the property. As an example, we will use the property definition Author. If Author is associated with the File and Item groups it may appear on any file or item but cannot appear with change orders and reference designators. (Reference Designators are a feature of AutoCAD Electrical). Every object (file and item) that is associated with the property definition Author will have a unique value. This may seem obvious when comparing two files as they each may have a unique value. This principle may not be as obvious when comparing objects across groups. If a file is promoted to an item, the file and item are allowed to have unique values for Author.*Change Order Link Properties remain a separate propertysystem.AdministrationCreation and AssociationTo create a property the name and data typemust be specified. The new property is notavailable for use until it has been associated toan object group. The groups are: Change Order,File, Item and Reference Designator. In thesample image below, the File object group isselected. This new property cannot be attachedto an Item, Change Order or ReferenceDesignator unless those object groups are alsoselected.All files in the categories Base or Engineering will have this property automatically attached. If this property needs to be attached to a specific file in another category it may be manually attached. Manual attachment can be done in two ways: using the Edit Properties Wizard or the Add or Remove Property located on the Actions menu.The object groups Change Order and Reference Designator do not support categories. Therefore, any property associated with one of these groups will be automatically attached to all objects in that group.SettingsThe policy values under the Property Valuescolumn (left side of the dialog) are applied toall instances of this property except where thecategory override applies. The CategoryValues allow overrides by category. Consultthe Help for further details about overrides andpolicies. In this paper, we will outline InitialValue, List Values and Enforce List Values.Initial ValueThe Initial Value is applied once when theproperty is initially associated with an object.The initial value is only applied in the absenceof a user supplied or a mapped value.The initial association occurs in three circumstances: 1) object is created (ex: adding a file or creating an item) 2) assignment to a category that automatically attaches the property 3) manual property attachment.There are two types of Initial Value: static and mapped. The static value is a fixed value and may be any value that is valid for the selected data type. An initial mapped value copies the value from a file or BOM property.Initial Values should NOT be used onproperties where all regular mappings read thevalue from a file or BOM. A blank value in themapped file or BOM field takes precedenceover the initial value. This may appear as ifthe initial value is not applied when in fact themapped value of ‘blank’ takes precedence.List ValuesProperties of type Text and Number mayprovide a list of values for user selection andsearching. The administrator may add orremove values from the list at any time.Removal of a value from the list does notremove the value from any property where thatvalue has been applied. When specifying thevalue for this property, the user may chosefrom the list of values. Enter values that arenot on the list is allowed. If this property ismapped to read a value from a file or BOM, the imported value is not required to be on the list. Enforce List ValuesWhen enabled, this option will provide a warning symbol adjacent to this property if the value is not on the list. When a value is in violation of this policy, the default configuration for lifecycle transitions will not allow a file or item to be released.MappingTo create a property mapping, the administrator must first choose which object group is to be mapped. In the image below, this is specified under the first column titled Entity . The available choices are based on the value of the Associations field. Several Content Providers are included but in most cases it is best to leave theselection on All Files (*.*). Vault willautomatically select the most appropriateContent Provider based on the file type.Next, select a file that contains the propertyor BOM field to be mapped. The image onthe left shows the file properties available formapping in the file manifold_block.ipt .The Type column shows the data type of thesource property. Mapping may be doneacross data types. However, there arespecial considerations that are detailed in thenext section. The mapping direction bydefault will chose bi-directional unless the fileor BOM property does not support the inputof values. When this occurs the mappingoption will be limited to Read only. Readonly mappings should be used sparinglybecause any UDP that contains only ‘Readonly’ mappings may not be modified in Vault.Mapping Across Data TypesThere are four property types: Text,Number, Boolean & Date . The following matrix defines valid property mappings. Whenever a mapping is created between two different property types there is the possibility of incompatibility. The onus is on the user to input valid values. If an invalid value is entered in most cases, the equivalence will flag the property as non-equivalent. The exceptions are listed below.1. Mapping Boolean with Text : The supported valid text values are: Yes/No , True/False and1/0. These values are localized. A string like ‘Autodesk’ entered in a Text property cannot be transferred to a Boolean property. This property mapping would be flagged as notequivalent.2. Mapping Text with Number or Text with Date : Works well when all clients and the serverare in the same language-locale. With mixed locales values may convert in a manner that is not intuitive and may produce an undesirable result. Therefore, mapping Text withNumber or Text with Date is only recommended when the server and all clients are working in the same locale.Create OptionThe Create option applies to write mappings; if the file property does not exist when a value is pushed to the file, the administrator may choose whether the file property is created or not. The Create option has another function that is not obvious: when enabled the equivalence calculation will consider the absence of the property definition in the file as a blank value and Supported mapping across data types Source Property (File or BOM) U DP Text Number Boolean Date Text Yes Yes (2) Yes (1) Yes (2) Number Yes (2) Yes Yes NoBoolean Yes (1) Yes Yes No Date Yes (2) No No Yescompare it against the value of the UDP in Vault. When the Create option is disabled, equivalence will be set to ‘Good’ when the mapped property definition does not exist in the file.Example: I have two departments in myorganization that both create .dwg files but theyuse different file properties to represent thesame information. The R&D department usesthe file property DwgNum. The Toolingdepartment uses the file property DrwNo. I wantto manage all drawings from both groups in asingle Vault and with one UDP ‘DrawingNumber’. The correct configuration is to createbidirectional mappings and set the Create optionto Off for both mappings. The result is that amodification of the UDP Drawing Number willwrite its value back to whichever property existsand it will not create an extra property.Mapping AutoCAD Block AttributesAutodesk® AutoCAD® block attribute mapping requires configuration on the ADMS. Select Index Block Attributes… from the Tools menu in Autodesk Data Management Server Console 2011. Enter the AutoCAD block names from which to extract attributes. After this is done, it is possible to map a UDP to an attribute using the mapping processdescribed above. Configured mappings allow thesystem to read and/or write values between the UDPand the attribute.Usage of attribute mapping is intended for singleinstances of a block or when all block instances havethe same attribute values. It is not possible for multipleblock instances to be mapped to separate UDP’s. Manycompanies have one instance of a title block in a given.dwg files. Occasionally, there are companies that use multiple instances of a title block in a single file. In these cases, the attributes often share the same values. An example is a drawing file that contains three borders of different size. Each border uses the same title block with attributes. The attributes for Customer Name, Engineer, Project Number, etc. will share the same value for all instances. Such attributes that share the same value may be mapped to a UDP. Attributes like Border Size will have a unique value for each block instance. Therefore, Border Size should not be mapped to a UDP in Vault.AutoCAD MechanicalAutodesk® AutoCAD® Mechanical software (ACM) supports three distinct sets of properties, all ofwhich may be mapped to Vault UDPs. The three ACM property sets are: file, assembly and component. See the ACM documentation for details about the intended use and differences between these properties.Vault file properties may map to ACM file properties and Vault item properties may map to ACM assembly and component properties.It should also be noted that ACM assembly and file properties having the same name, should not be mapped to the same Vault UDP.AutoCAD ElectricalAutodesk® AutoCAD® Electrical software (ACE) supports both file and BOM properties. ACE BOM properties may be mapped to Item properties. ACE utilizes properties located in .dwg’s,.wdp’s and associated databases. ACE properties are exposed to Vault in four ways:First: Ordinary DWG™ file properties and block attributes may be mapped to Vault File objects. The majority of these mappings support bi-directional mapping. Creation of these mappings is described in the Mapping section of this document.Second: WDP properties support mapping to Item properties. They also support bi-directional mapping. Creating a mapping with WDP properties requires the AutoCAD Electrical Content Source Provider. The provider isspecified in the second columnof the image at the right. Thisprovider is automatically setwhen a file of type .wdp isselected under the File Propertycolumn. If an associated .wdlfile has been created both theline number and the alternateproperty name will automaticallyappear in the list for selection.You may select the line numberor the alternate display name tocreate the mapping. All wdlproperties will appear in the listof selectable properties; it does not matter if a value is present.Third: Component BOM properties may be mapped to Item properties. This includes properties like:Catalog Number, Component Name, Component Type, Electrical Type, Equivalence Value & Manufacturer and more...To create a mapping to a component BOM property, create a new UDP and associate it to Items. Then on the Mapping tab create a new mapping, making sure the first column Entity is set to Item. Under the File Property column, browse and select any file that contains the property to which you will create the mapping. Some properties require that a value exist or the property is not available for selection in the list.Reminder: When creating new properties it is best to associate them to a category which will automatically associate them to the files and/or items where the property should appear. If this is not done, the property will have to be manually associated to the file or item.Fourth: Reference Designator properties, when mapped will appear in Vault as optional data on an Item BOM. There are eighteen Reference Designator properties available:INST, LOC, TAG, DESC1...3, RATING1 (12)These properties may be mapped to an Item BOM using the DWG content source provider.To create a mapping to a Reference Designator, create a new UDP and associate it to Reference Designator. Then on the Mapping tab create a new mapping, ensure the first column Entity is set to Reference Designator. Under the File Property column select the dwg containing the Reference Designator to which the mapping needs to be created. All Reference Designators are available for selection in the list without requiring a value.Properties(Historical)A handful of properties have duplicates having the same display name with ‘(Historical)’ appended to the end: State, Revision Scheme, Property Compliance, Lifecycle Definition, Category Name & Category Glyph. These ‘historical’ properties exist solely to retain a record of the values when a configuration change alters the value of the non-historical properties. In other words, the ‘historical’property will always contain the value as it existed when that version was created. This situation arises because these properties may have a new value due to a configuration change, even though a new version is not created.A policy change is a good example of why these historical’ properties exist. An organization may have released documents that use the property Vendor. Currently the policy on the property Vendor does not require a value. The administrator modifies the policy ‘Requires Value’ to require a value. After the automatic compliance recalculation, any existing documents (including released documents) with the Vendor property and without a value will have a new PropertyCompliance value of non-compliant. PropertyCompliance(Historical) will retain the value of compliant. MigrationThe property features of Vault 2011 are a significant enhancement. A feature overhaul of this scale poses challenges for migration. Most prominent is the calculation of property compliance. In some migration cases, the compliance calculation will require additional information beyond that which was stored in Vault 2010 or earlier versions. Performing a Re-Index will resolve the majority of these cases. It is highly recommended that a Re-Index is performed after migration. A Re-Index using the option for Latest and Released Versions Only is sufficient. In rare cases, a re-index may not restore compliance values to pre-migration values. If this occurs, manual adjustment to the property configuration may be required.File Index PropertiesFIP’s are no longer supported. The values contained by the FIP’s will remain available in UDP’s. There are multiple FIP configurations that require unique migration rules, listed here:FIP with no mapping or grouping: this ordinary FIP exists in Vault 2010 or earlier, without any mapping to a UDP and is not a member in any group. Migration will create a UDP, which will be mapped to the file property from which the FIP was created.FIP mapped to a UDP: upon migration, the UDP is carried forward and the FIP is removed from Vault. The value remains available in Vault through the UDP.Grouped FIP’s: property groups are migrated to a UDP having the same name and are mapped to the sources of all the grouped FIP’s.Bi-directional MappingsNew to Vault 2011 is the ability to create Bi-directional property mapping. In previous releases, a mapping was either Read or Write. Because of this change, a UDP that has only Read mappings may not be modified. An example is a UDP that is mapped to Read its value from the file property Creation Date. It makes no sense to write a value back to Creation Date.After migrating to Vault 2011, property mappings that were previously Read will be changed to Bi-directional. If the mapped source does not support input of a value, like the Creation Date example above, the mapping will not be changed and will remain Read. UDP’s that have multiple mappingsthrough the same Content Provider may, under specific circumstances, become non-compliant. If this occurs, it may be necessary to alter the configuration to restore compliance.An example:Vault 2010 or any previous version has a property configuration where two or more fileproperties are mapped as Read into the same UDP. This can occur when companiesmerge or when file property name standards change. For the Read mappings of theconfiguration below, equivalence is calculated on the highest priority mapping, which isEng; the mappings to the other properties are ignored.Upon migration to Vault 2011, Read mappings are converted to Bi-directional (shown below.). For the Bi-directional mappings of the configuration below, equivalence iscalculated between the UDP and each file property that exists in the file. In most cases, only one of the file properties exists in any given file, which will result in the UDP being flagged as compliant.If two properties exist in a file both will be considered for equivalence. If either file property has a value that does not match the UDP it is flagged as non-compliant.Enabling the Create option on a mapping will force equivalence calculation on that mapping even when the property definition does not exist in the file. When the property definition does not exist in the file, each mapping with the Create option set to Off is ignored for equivalence calculation.Autodesk, AutoCAD, and DWG are either registered trademarks ortrademarks of Autodesk, Inc., in the USA and/or other countries.

2011 Monopoly Pricing in the Presence of Social Learning
1
and realized sales trajectory over time. The seller’s pricing policy can tactically accelerate or decelerate learning, which, in turn, affects sales at different points in time and the product’s lifetime profitability. This paper studies a monopolist’s pricing decision in a market whose quality estimates are evolving according to such a learning process. In broad terms the model assumes that consumers arrive to the market according to a Poisson process and sequentially face the decision of either purchasing a product with unknown quality, or choosing an outside option. Each consumer has a willingness-to-pay for the product that is a function of his idiosyncratic quality preference and the product’s quality. These quality preferences are assumed to be independently and identically drawn from a know distribution. If the true product quality were known to consumers, this would give rise to a demand function that the monopolist could use as a basis of her pricing decision. In our model, however, the quality is unknown, and consumers’ estimates about it evolve according to a social learning mechanism. Specifically, motivated by the way information gets revealed and shared in practice, we study the following. Consumers who purchase the product report whether they “liked” or “disliked” the product, which corresponds to whether their ex-post utility was nonnegative, or negative. Consumers do not report their quality preference, so a positive review may result from a high quality or high idiosyncratic quality preference (not necessarily both). A new consumer observes the information reported by a sample—or potentially all—of the consumers who made decisions prior to him, makes an inference about the product quality, and then makes his own purchase decision. This sequence of idiosyncratic purchase decisions affects the evolution of the observable information set, and as such the dynamics of the demand process over time. Optimizing the monopolist’s pricing strategy requires detailed understanding of the learning dynamics and not just its asymptotic properties. It is typical to assume that fully rational agents update their beliefs for the unknown quality of the product through a Bayesian analysis, but the extraordinary analytical and computational onus that this imposes on each agent may be hard to justify as a model of actual choice behavior. Instead, we will postulate a “naive” and fairly intuitive learning mechanism, where consumers do not see the sequence in which the decisions and the reports that they observe were made. Rather, they observe the fraction of consumers who decided to purchase the product up to that point, and out of them the fraction of buyers that liked the product and the fraction of buyers that disliked the product. They then find the quality estimate that would be consistent with the aggregate information that is available to them, and make their purchasing decision accordingly. To motivate this structure, consider the establishment of a new hotel or resort. It is typically hard to evaluate the quality of such premises without first hand experience or word-of-mouth. This explains the huge impact online review websites such as Tripadvisor have had on the hospitality

Test category
Military Testing — Involves performing rigorous testing over a temperature range and documenting the results. Incoming Inspection — Testing of devices by a customer to insure the quality of the devices purchased before using them in an application. Assembly Verification — Verifies that the devices survived the assembly process and that they were assembled correctly. The tests performed during assembly verification are similar to that of package testing and may be a subset of package testing. This activity is usually performed offshore. Failure Analysis — The process of analyzing device failures to determine why the device failed. Determining the cause of a failure yields information that can improve device reliability.

LETTER TO THE EDITORA14-year-old girl with Smith-McCort dysplasia misdiagnosed as seronegative juvenile idiopathic arthritisDear Editor,Spondylo-epi-metaphyseal dysplasias(SEMDs)are a heterogeneous group of disorders with differing modes of inheritance,all of which are defined by the combi-nation of vertebral,epiphyseal and metaphyseal abnormalities.The specific diagnosis is based on the specificity of the skeletal manifestations or the pres-ence of characteristic extraskeletal features.1Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome(DMC)and Smith-McCort dysplasia(SMC)are rare autosomal recessive SEMDs.2SMC(OMIM:607326),which is a rare variant of DMC syndrome without evidence of mental retardation,has been shown to be allelic to DMC syndrome.3Smith-McCort dysplasia is a progressive,autosomal-recessive SEMD that may be misdiagnosed in clinical practice as juvenile idiopathic arthritis(JIA).4The clin-ical importance of this rare disorder may be attributed to its clinical similarity to JIA,which has a very differ-ent prognosis and treatment regimen.Typical dysplas-tic skeletal abnormalities,which occur mainly in the spine and iliac bones,and the absence of synovial inflammation enable the differential diagnosis of SMC from JIA.We present the case of a14-year-old girl with SMC who was misdiagnosed as having JIA.A14-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with pain in the bilateral hip and leg that had hindered her normal walking for3months.Evaluation of the clini-cal history revealed that the pain had started from both hips and spread to the legs,and had gradually reduced her ability to walk.She reported that she could not stand or walk without support for the previ-ous2.5months.The history of the patient revealed no evidence of swelling,redness or warmth of the joints during this time period.Approximately3.5months prior to pre-sentation at our hospital with these complaints,she had consulted an orthopedic surgeon,who had rec-ommended bilateral total hip arthroplasty.In the meantime,she was admitted to our hospital and was evaluated at the Departments of Pediatrics and Rheu-matology,_Istanbul University Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty,Turkey.After a diagnosis of a seronegative rheumatoid arthritis,treatment was initiated with a regimen of prednisolone5mg once daily,methotrexate15mg/ week,calcium–vitamin D once daily,and folic acid once daily,twice a week in the Department of Rheu-matology.These treatments did not produce any change in her pain or walking ability.The patient is thefifth child in a family in which the parents are non-consanguineous.She had no history of severe disease or disability,apart from slow growth and developmental delay.Neurological examination was normal,and the patient was still receiving primary education.She had short and fusiform handfingers. Increased anteroposterior chest diameter and kyphos-coliosis were present,and the proximal portions of the upper and lower limbs were short.She had pain and limitation regarding range of motion in the knee and hip joints bilaterally.She also had bilateral valgus deformity of the knee and ankle joint.The right and left leg lengths were63and67cm,respectively.The patient’s serum25-hydroxyvitamin D,parathy-roid hormone,thyroxine,thyroid stimulating hor-mone,acute phase response proteins,serum protein electrophoresis,and bone,liver,and kidney profiles were all normal.Urine amino acids were normal and there was no excretion of mucopolysaccharides. Spinal radiography revealed platyspondyly in almost all the vertebral bodies(Fig.1),and pelvis radiogra-phy revealed lacy iliac bones and dysplasia of the ace-tabulum and femoral heads bilaterally(Fig.2).In a cervical magnetic resonance imaging,there was odon-toid hypoplasia,platyspondyly at multiple levels, irregularities of the end-plates,and characteristic double-humped appearance due to a wedge-shaped ossification defect.The bone mineral density(BMD) of the patient was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA;Hologic QDR-4500,Bedford,International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases2012;15:e55–e57ª2011The AuthorsMA,USA).In the DEXA,the T -score and Z -score in the L2–4lumbar region were )6.1and )3.9,(0.546g/cm 2),respectively.The diagnosis of SMC was made based on consider-ation of all the clinical and radiologic findings,including the platyspondyly and lacy iliac crests.A cal-citonin-salmon nasal spray was started as an anti-osteo-porotic treatment.The rehabilitation of the patient consisted chiefly of range-of-motion and strengthening exercises,transfer activities and gait training.SMC is a recessive spondyloepimetaphyseal dyspla-sia caused by loss-of-function mutations in dymeclin (Dym),which is located at 18q21and encodes a pro-tein that is involved in Golgi organization and intra-cellular vesicle traffic.1,5The first manifestations are usually recognized between 1and 18months of age.The double-humped appearance of the vertebral bodies and the highly spe-cific iliac crests become evident by 3–4years of age.Orthopedic complications include possible spinal cord compression due to atlantoaxial instability,scoliosis,thoracic kyphosis,subluxation of the hips,deforma-tions of the knees and restricted joint mobility.The musculature is poorly developed.1,5–7Our patient had bilateral anteversion of the femur,coxarthrosis,genu valgum,pes planovalgus,leg length discrepancy,osteoporosis and poor musculature.The pains experienced by children can arise from multiple problems,ranging from a reaction to minor intercurrent infection that rapidly improves,to the pres-ence of severe skeletal lesions,such as malignancy.The pain can also be symptomatic of skeletal dysplasia.8A large variety of synovial and non-synovial condi-tions can mimic JIA.A careful history and physical examination combined with careful review of the lab-oratory and imaging studies should help in distin-guishing the dysplasias from JIA.8–10All laboratory results in our patient were within the respective normal ranges.Although laboratory tests were normal,the patient was misdiagnosed as sero-negative JIA,probably because of widespread involve-ment of the joints.Mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (Morquio syndrome)and various skeletal dysplasias,such as multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and spondylo-epiphyseal dyspla-sia tarda (progressive pseudo-rheumatoid arthritis),can also mimic JIA.8–10However,the absence of corneal clouding and mucopolysacchariduria and characteristic radiologic findings all differentiate SMC from mucopolysacchari-dosis type IV and other SEMDs,as was the case for our patient.Moreover,the characteristic signs of SMC,including the lace-like appearance of the iliaccrestsFigure 1Lateral lumbar spine radiography showing platy-spondyly and the characteristic double-humped configura-tion of all thevertebrae.Figure 2Pelvis radiography showing irregular surface of the iliac bones (lacy iliac crest),dysplasia of the acetabula and femoral heads.Letter to the Editorand double-humped end-plates of the vertebrae,were present in our patient.SMC is a rare and less-recognized SEMD that which be confused with JIA,both clinically and radiologi-cally.In conclusion,early recognition and diagnosis of SMC are important in helping to ameliorate the pain and disability associated with this disease and in avoiding unnecessary investigations and anti-rheu-matic interventions.Kerem GUN,1Murat ULUDAG,1Halil UNALAN,1 Neslihan MOGULKOC,1Hasan BATTAL,1 Hamza SUCUOGLU,1Fatih KANTARCI2andHalil KOYUNCU11Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and
