This study examines the effects of consensus and resulting organizational learning on new strategy implementation. In doing so, we consider two challenges inherent in implementing new strategy: breaking and reestablishing organizational and individual routines and managing uncertainties and unexpected problems. By sampling 113 groups within a large company, we found that group performance can b...

Research on neural correlates of consciousness has been conducted and carried out mostly from within two relatively autonomous paradigmatic traditions - studying the specific contents of conscious experience and their brain-process correlates and studying the level of consciousness. In the present paper we offer a theoretical integration suggesting that an emphasis has to be put on understandin...

measures best adapted for its relief. The condition may be produced either by an obstruction at the pylorus to the expulsion of the gastric contents, or by morbid changes in the muscular walls of the stomach without pyloric obstruction. Stenosis of the pylorus is most commonly due to cancer, but may also be produced by simple fibrous stricture, or by the cicatricial contraction resulting from t...

We examined stomach contents (n = 12) and fecal samples (n = 4) in the first quantitative analysis of diet composition of oceanic-stage loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta from the North Atlantic Ocean. We found that loggerheads from the Azores are opportunistic carnivores that feed upon a variety of oceanic and pelagic organisms; our results also show that they exploited novel food resources, s...

Anesthesia for pediatric eye emergencies is predicted on prevention of a rise in intraocular pressure and avoidance of extrusion of the intraocular contents in the setting of a full stomach. Sedation or general anesthesia is frequently necessary for adequate examination of the eye.

Experimental evidence was provided to demonstrate the relationship between blood sugarlevel and stress-induced gastric ulcers in the albino rat; the stress employed being emotional (restraint) (i), In this paper are reported the results of experiments to demonstrate theinfluence of blood sugar level on volume of gastric contents, acidity and ulcer production In the stomach of the albino rat fol...

The lipids of rat milk, the contents of 9-- 10-day-old rat stomach and intestine, lymph, plasma, and liver were quantitated and their fatty acids were analyzed. Rat milk consists of 97% triacylglycerols, of which 35% of the fatty acids are of medium chain length (C8-C12). However, stomach triacylglycerols show a 25% reduction in medium chain fatty acids, which indicates preferential hydrolysis ...

to normal rats deprived of food for 6h, and the stomach contents were collected after 15min. About 10-12% of the radioactivity of the dose administered was found in the stomach contents, which, when passed through the Sepharose 6B column, gave 65-75 % of the radioactivity in the lipid peak fractions (4-10) collected just after the void volume, as shown in Fig. 1 . The position of this peak is i...

Climate change is affecting the trophic ecology of reef fishes through changes in reef-associated food availability and fish feeding behavior. The southern Arabian Gulf is a thermally extreme environment, providing an opportunity to study fish diets on reefs with summer temperatures representative of next-century conditions elsewhere. Using 18S metagenomic analyses of stomach contents, we provi...
