    Notes: Purpose - This research proposes studying how consumers' familiarity with products impacts the degree to which consumers are sensitive to a seller's violation of procedural fairness norms in pricing. Past research has either studied the role of familiarity or the role of fairness in influencing consumer behavior. However, it is unclear how familiarity and fairness combine to influence consumer behavior. The present research proposes filling this gap. Design/methodology/approach - An experiment is designed to manipulate consumers' perceptions of procedural fairness of a seller's pricing tactic, and consumers' levels of familiarity with a product. Each variable is manipulated to be either high or low. Thus, outcomes are observed for four purchase conditions. Findings - Results indicate that the degree to which consumers rely on procedural fairness to evaluate a product is related to consumers' level of familiarity with a product. Consumers who are less familiar with a product are more likely to rely on procedural fairness to form purchase intentions. Also, unlike their more knowledgeable counterparts, consumers who are less familiar with a product are more likely to equate procedural fairness with perceived quality. Research limitations/implications - The research stresses the need to differentiate between the roles played by procedural and distributive fairness in shaping consumer behavior. The authors study only procedural fairness, but a natural next step for future research is to study simultaneously the role of both facets of fairness. Practical implications - The results of our study underscore the importance of following procedural fairness norms especially for retailers who deal in product categories where the pace of innovation is so rapid that it creates a large dispersion in knowledge of product attributes among consumers. The study' findings suggest that in such situations, consumers may rely excessively on cues that signal a seller's adherence to or violation of social norms relevant to business practices. Thus, the authors encourage sellers to monitor keenly levels of product knowledge among their customer base. This would enable sellers to identify situations that merit an enhanced sensitivity to upholding social norms such as procedural fairness. Originality/value - The paper brings to attention the interaction between consumers' familiarity with a product and procedural fairness in pricing. Although an expectation of procedural fairness underlies all exchanges this research identifies consumers' familiarity as a variable that influences the degree to which procedural fairness is relied on in shaping consumer behavior.

    Notes: Abstract In analysing wood creep during moisture changes, various adjustments can be made to the data, including corrections for density and for dimensional changes. Provided that the variation of elastic compliance with moisture content is known, the elastic compliance can be separated from the total compliance to give a “reduced” creep compliance. Elastic compliance data can be formed into a graphical chart based on moisture content and the compliance at a single known moisture content. Good correlations have been obtained between reduced creep compliances for various modes of moisture change and the unloaded axial movement coefficientsβ L. Ifβ L could be considered as a measure of a number of internal “events”, related to hydrogen bonding, and taking place during moisture changes; then the number of these events might also be related to moisture-induced creep changes.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes a new design of bending creep machine for accurate measurements of mechano-sorptive creep. Tests on two species of pine showed that at low stresses bending and tension gave similar results. It is shown that the mechano-sorptive creep susceptibility correlates with the mean microfibrillar angle of the S2 layer in a continuous relation that includes two species of pine, including one which showed evidence of compression wood; thus giving further evidence of the importance of inter-microfibril stresses in the S2 layer in mechano-sorptive creep. Accordingly, mechano-sorptive creep susceptibility also correlated continuously with elastic compliance; thus encouraging the possibility of the selection of non-susceptible material by machine stress grading. These two correlations also diminish the main obstacle to research on mechano-sorptive creep, the excessive variability of the material and the consequent difficulty of matching of samples.

    Notes: Abstract Differences in Zn-induced levels of hepatic metallothionein (MT) in inbred strains of the mouse are described. Three low-producing strains, C57BL/6, C57BL/10, and NIH, are identified, while C3H and CBA display the highest levels of hepatic MT following Zn treatment. These interstrain differences affect not only the level of MT protein, but also the amount of MT-bound Zn and the total hepatic Zn concentration. Both MT isoforms are equally affected. A similar interstrain difference following Cu treatment is present in C3H and C57BL/6. The origin of these interstrain differences is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The bioavailability of heavy metals in sediment to freshwater tubificid worms was compared with measures of chemical extractability using a sequential extraction procedure. In order to provide a range of test sediments of different quality, various mineral phases were prepared, in which the metals were spiked by adsorption or coprecipitation and these were then mixed with a bulk base sediment in known proportions. Results indicated good correlation between worm metal burden and metal mobilised from the sediments in the first (‘exchangeable’) sequential extraction step for Cd, Cu and Pb. Of the other metals tested, Zn levels in the worms were found to be constant, suggesting regulation, and Ni uptake was too small for accurate measurement. In general, metals spiked to the sediment directly, or adsorbed on the clay mineral phase were found to be much more available than those bound to sewage sludge, carbonate or hydrous ferric oxide phases.
