Patterns of innovation and protection activities within service companies: Results from a German study on service-intensive companies

There is an increasing number of researchers conducting empirical and theoretical investigations to better understand innovation and protection activities of service companies. In fact, previous analyses reveal that the protection topic is difficult to study, particularly when using traditional measurement concepts like patents. Thus, a different analytical conceptual frame has been developed in order to investigate deeper knowledge about service innovation protection and corporate strategic behaviour. --Service innovation,Protection strategies,Service companies,Study,Germany

Letter from Cornelius B. Bradley to John Muir, 1902 Aug 21.

Berkeley, August 21, 1902.Dear Mr. Muir:Your beautiful new -volume on Our National Parks, so long ago inscribed to me by you, has just this day come to my hands. It gives me very great pleasure to find myself so remembered by our veteran explorer and writer on these themes of Beauty and Truth. I thank you most sincerely for the kindness which touches me very nearly,just at this time when many things to conspire to make me feel that I am a very useless cumberer of the ground. And my thanks are due also to Wanda who brought the book for me, as I learn, though I was not here to receive it.We are just back from the Old World, where we saw and did many things. But for me the most memorable was a 200-mile tramp in the Alps last summer, including no great peaks, to be sure, but a number of high passes such as the Col du Geant from Chamouni to Courmayeur in Italy, and the St. Theodule Pass from Italy into Switzerland at Zermatt. I thought often of you as I ranged over those great glaciers and snowfields.We are all well, and most of us are at home, my son only being absent in New Haven. Mrs. Bradly sends with mine her warmest greetings to you and Mrs. Muir and the two girls,--and I hope to be able sometime before long to thank you in person.Very truly yours,Cornelius B. Bradley0302

Letter from Cornelius B. Bradley to John Muir, 1904 Jun 27.

Siena Club Camp,Yosemite, June 27, 1904.My dear Mr. Muir:-I meant to be one of the very first to welcome you on your return from your long wanderings, and yet you eluded me altogether, and I never learned till it was long too late, that you were really back. And then off you must needs rush to the Grand Canon [diacritic]!Well, it is not too late [illegible]dy to tell an old friend that you are glad he has had so grand a trip, and that he\u27s is once more safe at home. - So it is that in the interval of beating off mosquitoes. I am trying to pen you these lines. I shall hope to have you come down and see us in Berkeley when I get back there, and learn from your own lips the story of your wanderings.03391 But who knows, whether now that the going mood is upon you, we may not see up somewhere in the [meadows?]. At all events, I am glad that I shall see your daughters there before many days. I confess this club-camp doesn\u27t seem much like mountaineering, but to such things do we have to come down sometimes.Hail then, and Farewell!As ever yoursCornelius B. Bradley

Letter from Cornelius B. Bradley to John Muir, 1902 Oct 17.

Berkeley, Oct, 17, 1902.Dear Mr. Muir,Thanks most sincerely for the sweet proof which came yesterday of your continued remembrance of us. The grapes came in excellent condition, and were fit to have been the grapes of Es[illegible] - only I am sure those never could have had the flavor of these. But chief of all the elements in their bouquet is the flavor of friendship;- and that is daily becoming to me more and more the most precious thing in the world. I have been reading your book aloud to my folks, and to03077 their great delight. Especially pleased and interested was my cousin (who has recently left us) - who had just taken a trip in the Yellowstone Park, and who could verify what you wrote. Mrs. Bradley joins me in love and thanks to Mrs. Muir and yourself.Very sincerely yours,Cornelius B. Bradley

Lithium hydroxide dihydrate: A new type of icy material at elevated pressure

We show that, in addition to the known monohydrate, LiOH forms a dihydrate at elevated pressure. The dihydrate involves a large number of H-bonds establishing chains along the direction. In addition, the energy surface exhibits a saddle point for proton locations along certain O interatomic distances, a feature characteristic for superprotonic conductors. However, MD simulations indicate that LiOH·2H_2O is not a superprotonic conductor and suggest the relevant interpolyhedral O–O distances being too large to allow for proton transfer between neighboring Li-coordinated polyhedra at least on the time scale of the MD-simulations

Letter from Cornelius B. Bradley to John Muir, 1897 Nov 22.

[1][letterhead]Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 22, 1897.My dear Mr. Muir,I have had to send that bibliography to the printer as it was, without the information I hoped to get from you. But there will be a chance to amend it in the proof. I am writing just now, however, to ask if you can furnish me volume and page of that article on Linnaeus in the World\u27s Best Literature or otherwise locate it. If you can, please don\u27t fail to let me know. I cannot get hold of the publication anywhere; short of sending east and there isn\u27t time for that. I have been able to add three or four titles to your list. Sincerely yoursCornelius R. Bradley.02362[2][letterhead]Post Scriptum. - Tuesday noon.Yours of the 21st has reached me. Thank you for the two new titles from the Senate Executive Documents. I have just looked them up. I wish you could give me the number of Sun [News?] papers you actually have on your file and some little indication of the subject touched upon--especially one or two of the sub-titles indicated in the body of the letter by the editor. I am in earnest to hunt down everything that can be found.Sincerely yours.Cornelius R. Bradley.0236

Letter from Cornelius B. Bradley to John Muir, 1897 Dec 10.

[letterhead]2639 Durant Ave.Berkeley, Cal. Dec. 10, 1897.My dear Mr. Muir,Those letters of yours--fugitive as you consider them--are well worthy of revision and collection in permanent form. I sincerely hope you will undertake the work soon, and that you will extend it to the collection of your magazine articles also. These last, of course, are in more or less permanent form already, and are to some degree accessible. But the freshness and charm of the others will be lost forever if you do not take them in hand. Professor Anderson of Stanford and I were talking over this very matter the other evening. I trust the reprints which I sent have reached you safely. More are at your disposal if you want them. With sincere regards to Mrs. Muir and your daughers, I remainYours as everCornelius B. Bradley.0236

Evidence for polarised boron in Co-B and Fe-B alloys

By exploiting the tunability of synchrotron radiation in measurements of spin-resolved photoemission it has proved possible to obtain information on the polarisation of the valence electrons of Co-B and Fe-B amorphous magnetic alloys, Both the spin-integrated and spin-resolved energy distribution curves show a marked dependence on photon energy indicating that the p states of boron hybridise with the d states of the transition metals giving rise to mixed states in the binding energy range 1 to 5 eV, The observed polarisation and spin-resolved densities of states imply that in the above restricted energy range there is a net negative polarisation of the boron states
