Abstract:
Subject area Entrepreneurship Small Business Management. Study level/applicability BBA first-year students. The case is positioned at the beginning of the course. Case overview Uzma, 25 years, enrolled in the MBA program of a prestigious university of Pakistan and owner of Baker Street, was accustomed to a hectic routine; preparing the orders, sometimes even dropping them at customers doorsteps, university classes, assignments and reports. The only thing which she felt missing from her busy life was good sleep and a great time with her family. Brand Baker Street was developed to provide baking solution to upper echelons for special occasions. The big, moist, chewy, gourmet cookies; rich and gooey brownies; the most decadent, indulgent cookie cakes/brownie cakes; and a lot more other things were developed to create unforgettable moments. Her aim after graduation was to convert her dream of opening a café into a reality. Uzma wondered whether the time was right and most importantly was she ready. Expected learning outcomes The case aims to teach the following concepts: female entrepreneurship, its potential and barriers; entrepreneurial marketing; and identify and analyze different variables involved in setting up a small baking business.

Abstract:
In this article, the curator of manuscripts and archives at the Harvard Business School's Baker Library discusses the opportunities and difficulties confronting present-day archivists as they seek to establish rational collecting policies for their repositories. Ms. Lathrop first describes the past focus of Baker Library's collection decisions and the strengths to which those emphases have led. She then discusses some areas of less comprehensive coverage, as well as the general problems archivists face in dealing with twentieth-century materials. She points out that collecting gaps tend to be replicated among other repositories, a situation leading her to believe that a national collecting policy, developed by both historians and archivists, is necessary to ensure the widest possible documentation of the varieties of American business history.

Abstract:
Book Summary: Treating the cultural giants of the 20th century, this volume traces their reading habits and intellectual development, as well as their contributions to Western culture. Suggesting the literary influences on these figures, the book includes 355 entries on people from a broad range of fields, including scientists, politicians, business figures, writers, religious leaders, and figures from the performing arts and popular culture. The volume is a handy companion to Powell's earlier volume, Biographical Dictionary of Literary Influences: The Nineteenth Century, 1800-1914. Reflecting non-Western influences on Western culture, the volume includes such Asian and African figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Wole Soyinka, while also covering the significant Western figures. As the volume recognizes, forms of cultural influence evolved in the 20th century to include more aural and visual influences. Yet the volume still reveals fascinating literary influences throughout the century.

Abstract:
Gibbsite scale growth in pipe fittings is a major problem for an alumina refinery. A recent investigation into the scale growth mechanism at an alumina refinery found almost 60 % more scale growth in a reducer when compared with the connecting straight pipe sections for similar flow conditions. Scale growth occurs where liquor (supersaturated solutions) come in contact with solid surfaces and it is affected by the liquor flow velocity besides other physical and chemical parameters. The present work is dedicated to study the hydro-dynamical aspects of the mechanism of scale growth. In particular, the role of the phenomenon of turbulent bursting, stream wise and cross stream fluctuating velocity components (Ux and Uy) was investigated as the flow moves through the reducer. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique was used to get a full view of the reducer and the readings close-to-the-wall of the reducer at Reynolds number of 27,000 and 44,000 upstream which corresponds to Reynolds number of 41,500 and 66,000 downstream of the reducer respectively. The results showed an increase in cross stream and a decrease in magnitude of stream wise fluctuating velocity components, whereby we presume that the increased cross stream fluctuating velocity component increases the frequency of impacts of the scaling particles on the wall thus initiating excessive scale growth in the reducer when compared with the connecting straight pipe sections, for similar flow conditions.

Abstract:
This article details the provenance of a paper knife which had belonged to Katherine Mansfield and was donated to the Alexander Turnbull Library by Patrick White. White was strongly influenced by Mansfield’s stories in his youth. While studying at Cambridge in 1932 he read Mansfield’s published letters and journals. In 1934, following a literary pilgrimage to Zennor, White had poems accepted by the London Mercury which had published Mansfield and Lawrence. In 1961 White visited his cousin Peggy Garland in Wellington and was introduced to her lodger, Mansfield’s biographer Antony Alpers. Alpers drove White around some of the settings of Mansfield’s Wellington stories and White visited the Alexander Turnbull Library where he examined Mansfield’s manuscript letters and journals. Alpers gave White Mansfield’s greenstone-handled and silver paper knife which had been given to him by Ida Baker. In 1972 White donated the paper knife to the Alexander Turnbull Library. In 1976 White and his partner Manoly Lascaris visited Katherine Mansfield Fellow Michael King at the Villa Isola Bella in Menton. White wrote an endorsement for the dust jacket of Viking Press’s 1980 edition of Alpers’ The Life of Katherine Mansfield.

Abstract:
Abstract Without Sir Robert Cotton and his celebrated library, the whole Jacobean antiquarian endeavour would have been much diminished, and would have lacked a centre. For Cotton was the universal facilitator among the antiquaries, the liaison officer, the man one had to know. His library was the meeting place for all who were enquiring into the past, and his open-handed generosity in making his books and manuscripts available probably did more to advance the cause of scholarship than the combined patronage of Oxford and Cambridge. The prefaces of so many books on British historical themes resound with gratitude to Cotton, and authors deep in their books will interrupt their narratives to recall a kindness from him: he is the great provider of essential texts, and the oracle of the antiquaries.1 Above all, Cotton loved the business of scholarship, the acquisition of books and manuscripts, the discovery of new texts, the evaluation of the status of manuscripts, and the piecing together of the fragments of the past to make it comprehensible. He encouraged all who shared this passion, regardless of age or rank or ideological stance. One of the memorable glimpses of Cotton ‘s irenical domain is given by Father Augustine Baker, the English Benedictine monk who lived a shadowy life in London.

Abstract:
Before the Internet became popular as a device for distributing and sharing information, people turned to friends, books and their doctor when they had a medical question. Today, many more options exist (Figure 1). Hundreds of websites provide health information and opportunities for interaction between patients, doctors and caregivers. Estimates differ, but all surveys show that millions of people search online for health information. A Pew survey estimates that 80% of adult Internet users, about 93 million Americans, searched online for at least one of 16 major health topics (Fox & Fallows, 2003). Baker, Wagner, Signer and Bundorf (2003) estimate that 20% of the US population uses the Internet to find health information. A larger proportion (71%) of older people (50 to 64 years old), compared to 53% of younger people (18 to 29 years old), turn to the Internet for health information (Fox & Rainie, 2002). Although there is a digital divide, use of information technology is not simply decided by race or social class. Safran (2003) found that Medicaid families, who are believed not to use these new technologies, accessed their online Baby CareLink from the hospital, work, library or other public access points. Gustafson et al. (2002) point out that poverty is the prime indicator for lack of technology use.

Abstract:
Human foreskin fibroblasts secrete several different serine protease inhibitors which differ in size and protease specificities. These proteins, called protease nexins (PNs) all form SDS-resistant complexes with their protease targets. Fibroblast surface receptors recognize the protease-PN complexes and mediate their delivery to lysosomes. PNI is a 45 kilodalton glycoprotein that rapidly inhibits several arg or lys-specific proteases including trypsin, thrombin, and urokinase (k assoc.∼ 4×l06,∼ 6×105 and ∼ 2×105, m−1s−1 respectively). Like antithrombin III, PNI binds heparin and inhibits thrombin at a vastly accelerated rate in the presence of this glycoaminoglycan. Immunofluorescence studies show that in addition to secreting PNI foreskin fibroblasts carry this inhibitor on their surfaces. PNI cDNA has been cloned and sequenced. A mixed oligonucleotide probe derived from PNI N-terminal sequence was used to probe a foreskin fibroblast cDNA library constructed with λGT10. Identification of PNI cDNAs has been verified by sequencing and by expressing active PNI protein in mammalian cells. The full amino acid sequence of PNI, deduced from cDNA sequencing, is 392 residues long and has 30% homology to antithrombin III. An arg-ser pair 32 residues from the C-terminus of the inhibitor is proposed as the reactive center P1-P1 residues. In the hinge region a lys residue is present in a position occupied by a ginor glu residue in other serpins. PNI mRNA exists in 2 slightly different forms:One (αPNI) yields a thr-arg-ser sequence wherethe other βPNI) yields a thr-thr-gly-ser sequence. The presence of the appropriate splice acceptor sites in the genome indicates that these forms are generated from a single gene by alternative splicing. Expressed aPNI and 0PNI proteins both bind thrombin and urokinase. In foreskin fibroblaststhe α form of PNI mRNA predominates over the β form by about 2:1. In foreskin fibroblast cultures secreted PNI inhibits the mitogenic response to thrombin and regulate secreted urokinase. Purified PNI added to human fibrosarcoma (HT1080) cells inhibitsthe tumor cell-mediated destruction of extracellular matrix and transiently, but dramatically, inhibits tumor cell growth. PNI or PNI-like inhibitors may function at multiple physiological sites. The β form of PNI is virtually identical to a glia-derived neurite promoting factor, the cDNA for which has been recently cloned and sequenced by Gloor et al (1). The neurite outgrowth activity of PNI may result from inhibition of a thrombin-like protease that is associated with neurons, since a number of thrombin inhibitors stimulate neurite extension. Recent immunofluoresence experiments, carried out with D. Hantai (Inserm; Paris) demonstrate that anti-PNI antibody intensely stains neuromuscular synapses. In addition, a PNI-like inhibitor is associated with platelets. At low (0.5 nM <) 125I-thrombin concentrations formation of 125I-thrombin-platelet PNI complexes accounts for most of the specific binding of 125I-thrombin to platelets (2). Although the platelet-associated form of PNI is electrophoretically and immunologically indistinguishable from fibroblast PNI, it does not bind urokinase, suggesting that it may be distinct.(1) Gloor, S., K. Odink, J. Guenther, H. Nick, and D. Monard. (1986) Cell 47:687-693.(2) Gronke, R.S., B.L. Bergman, and J.B. Baker. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. (in press)
