Fungicide effectiveness on yield loss owing to eastern filbert blight (EFB) was studied on mature, bearing hazelnut trees in a replicated trial. This case study found that fungicide use in hazelnuts not only limited EFB development but also protected future yield loss and gross financial returns. The results were similar to commercial industry experience even though the research occurred on small blocks of mature trees. There was no difference in disease or yield between the two fungicide programs evaluated. Growers who carry the annual cost of fungicides after discovery of EFB in their orchards will benefit monetarily several years later through sustained yields.

This interview-based case study describes current portal project practices based on a diverse set of projects, including B2B, B2C, B2E, E2E and mobile. Since 2000 portals have increased their functionality, and widespread availability of portal software has encouraged organisations to install and experiment with them. Portals are adding value by drawing applications together, particularly through search, and assembling existing tools for a user in a way that enhances their value. Operational challenges include support and security. Success has depended on beginning with support and security frameworks based on similar industry experience. Performance has been the key project success factor, and project sponsors are beginning to understand non-functional requirements: portability, scalability, availability, reliability and security. SOA principles are only partially applied, due to investment in existing systems. A recent trend is Microsoft SharePoint’s rapid market growth through ease of implementation.

The Future

A community-based conservation scheme on the upper catchment of the Kairezi River, eastern Zimbabwe, has been based on financial returns from trout fishing. Despite consistent stocking, trout catches have been declining, which undermines the justification for conservation. Fishery managers believed that Cape clawless otters Aonyx capensis preyed on trout and competed with them for food. An analysis of otter and trout diets in 1993 indicated that this was not the case and the otter was not the cause of the lack of trout. The future of the scheme and the conservation of otters in the catchment are more likely to be threatened by poaching and uncontrolled agricultural activities.

The key research aim of this paper is to analyze whether an activist investor’s recommendations for financial, corporate governance, and strategic management performances were successful or not. This paper updates the initial case study of the activist investor, Barington Capital Group, in analyzing the performance of a public company, L Brands, which had lost $20 billion in market capitalization in the last three years prior to the public letter from Barington to the L Brands CEO in March 2019. This updated case study analyzes whether Barington’s initial recommendations worked as operational guidelines for improving L Brands’ financial, corporate governance, and strategic management performances. From its financial analysis, Barington recommended either an initial public offering of the superior performing Bath & Body Works brand or a spinoff of the weak performing Victoria’s Secret brand. From its corporate governance and strategic management analysis, Barington recommended that L Brands improve the composition of its board of directors whose deficiencies in director independence, industry experience, and diversity hindered its ability to effectively oversee and advise strategic management. It is important to note that this paper was prepared exclusively with public information.

Abstract Threshold voltage (Vt) shift was measured, using atomic force probing (AFP) technique, in the pullup PFETs of high density SRAM bitcell arrays in 90nm CMOS bulk technology. This shift caused catastrophic yield loss. The direct measurements of dopant distribution both in plan view and x-section using Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM) technique suggested counter doping of the P-poly had occurred. A single mask modification was shown to validate the observation and eliminated the counter doping resulting in drastic yield enhancement to about 60% from nearly no yield.
