Absorptive Capacity of Different Materials Ordinarily Used for Bedding

Fungi in used bedding materials.

Few workers have been concernied with the occurrence of bacteria and fungi withini used beddinig, bedding materials, anid upholstered furniture. Such organisms may be present in the raw materials, added during normal use and storage, multiply under certaiin conditions of humidity, and may be transferred to new felt when new and used materials are garnetted. Conant et al. (1935) studied the mold...

Resistance to airflow through bedding materials used in infancy.

Various bedding materials used in infancy, including duvets (or continental quilts), were tested for airflow using the British Standards Institution tests for pillows or fabrics. Resistance was also measured when the items were placed on a dummy infant face. Measurements were made on washed and unwashed garments, which were tested both dry and wet. Results suggest that all the bedding materials...

Differences in Intestinal Absorptive Capacity of Chickens for D-Xylose

Background: According to literature, there are differences among different species of animals in respect to absorption of D-xylose. OBJECTIVES: In two experiments, the differences that might exist in absorptive capacity of small intestine for D-xylose, in different types of chicken were tested. METHODS: In experiment one, 2 groups of nine adult layer type males (48 weeks) and females (58 weeks)...

Absorptive Capacity: One Size Fits All? Firm-level Analysis of Absorptive Capacity for Different Kinds of Knowledge

Relational Absorptive Capacity: Preliminary Empirical Evidence for a Relational Theory of Absorptive Capacity in Supply Chains

Relational Absorptive Capacity (RAC) is presented as an extension of the theory of Absorptive Capacity for the purpose of understanding innovation in supply chain relationships. RAC is the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new knowledge from a supply chain partner, assimilate it, and apply it for mutual benefit. The paper builds theory by developing a comprehensive multi-facet model o...
