This study investigates the inter-relationship between market orientation and service performance of 33 libraries in the south of Finland. Three kinds of market orientation were found: the strong, the medium and the weak. The findings show that the higher market orientation is positively connected with the libraries’ superior service performance. Résumé : Cette étude explore la relation interne...

Preliminary studies of a synthetic approach to the alkaloid stemofoline 1 are reported. Stereoselective cyclisation of the ketoester 14 gave the 1-butyl-2,8-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane 21 in which the 2-methoxycarbonyl group is in the axial position. The analogous ketones 15, 18, and 19 were also cyclised to give the 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes 22-24 with axial electron-withdr...

BACKGROUND This phase I study was designed to determine the bioavailability and bioequivalence of 400 mg Eudorlin extra* (Ibuprofen) in comparison to two reference formulations (400 mg Nurofen forte and 400 mg Migränin after single dose administration under fasting conditions in healthy subjects. Therefore the design of a randomized, open label, multiple sequence cross-over study with a wash-ou...

Using FORTE photodiode detector (PDD) observations of lightning, we have determined the geographic distribution of nighttime flash rate density. We estimate the PDD flash detection efficiency to be 62% for total lightning through comparison to lightning observations by the TRMM satellite’s Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS), using cases in which FORTE and TRMM viewed the same storm. We present here...
