TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a marketing capability framework which can be used as a qualitative tool for examining the "state-of-the-art" of marketing in small manufacturing companies.
Abstract: This article focuses on the marketing problems of small manufacturing companies. The principal thesis is that marketing is generally perceived from too narrow a perspective. A more comprehensive and yet detailed view of marketing should benefit small business management. The authors develop a marketing capability framework which can be used as a qualitative tool for examining the “state‐of‐the‐art” of marketing in small manufacturing companies. This marketing capability framework is employed in examining the performance of 36 Finnish and Swedish companies using case study analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the design, construction, and performance of a new high-sensitivity dc SQUID magnetometer, covering a circular area of 93mm diameter, is described.
Abstract: The design, construction, and performance of a new high‐sensitivity dc SQUID magnetometer, covering a circular area of 93‐mm diameter, is described. The device, now used routinely in our brain research, comprises seven asymmetric first‐order gradiometers, located on a spherical surface of 125‐mm radius and with the symmetry axis tilted 30° with respect to the vertical. The pickup coil diameter is 20 mm, and the channels are separated by 36.5 mm from each other in a hexagonal array. The overall field sensitivity of the system, measured inside our magnetically shielded room, is 5 fT/(Hz)1/2, mainly limited by the thermal noise in the radiation shields of the Dewar. The optimization of the coil configuration and the measurement system is discussed in detail, and a system to determine automatically the position and orientation of the Dewar with respect to certain fixed points on the subject’s head is described. Finally, some examples of measurements carried out with the new device are given.

TL;DR: In this paper, the author investigates the oil drilling activity after the oil crisis in 1973 when the western industrial countries made efforts to create a new balance, which culminated in oil drilling in order to compensate for the crude oil sources which were no longer under the control of Western industrial countries.
Abstract: In this report the author investigates the oil drilling activity after the oil crisis in 1973 when the western industrial countries made efforts to create a new balance. Efforts in oil prospecting culminated in oil drilling in order to compensate for the crude oil sources which were no longer under the control of western industrial countries. This development is studied in the frame of reference put forward by Saul Cohen in his theory of geopolitical balance concerning horizontal and vertical compensation.

TL;DR: In this article, the design, construction, and performance of a high-sensitivity DC SQUID magnetometer, covering a circular area of 93 mm diameter, is described, and the overall field sensitivity of the system, measured inside a magnetically shielded room, is 5 − 6 fT/√Hz,mainly caused by thermal noise in the radiation shields of the dewar.
