Creative writing student The research, conducted by wins literary prize the coordinator of the Sports Engineering degree program at the University of Adelaide, Associate Professor Franz Konstantin Fuss, studied fi ve models of cricket balls manufactured in Australia, India and 17 Pakistan. The study looked at the methods Penguins’ not-so-happy of construction, stiffness, viscous ending discovered in DNA and elastic properties, and included changes to the balls’ performance under compression and stress relaxation tests. Dr Fuss found that the model manufactured in Australia – the Kookaburra Special Test – was the only cricket ball manufactured consistently. The other four models were found to have inconsistent “stiffness”, which can play an important part in how a ball reacts when struck by the bat. “In contrast to other sport balls, most cricket balls are still hand-made, which may affect the consistency of manufacturing and thus the properties of a ball,” Dr Fuss said. story continued on page 18 Adelaidean Adelaidean is the offi cial newspaper of the University of Adelaide.

Schein, President CONFIDENTIAL 2005 Confidential Page 1 Communication Partners Worldwide, Inc. 12/9/17 Market Segment and Demographics: “Asians and Hispanics are wealthier than expected and underserved. Children also made the news – good and bad. The good news is their buying power is substantial and their influencing role as well. The bad news is they are obese…so selling to them more may not contribute to their longevity as customers”. [1] “Seniors and single-person households were also recognized as viable target groups because of their spending power, fueling interest among manufacturers for smaller sizes”. [1] Advertising to Growing Hispanic Market: “According to the 2000 Census Report, Hispanic Americans constitute a bigger, more dispersed, and more affluent market than previously predicted. The number of US Hispanics grew by 58% in the past decade to 35.3 million…buying power increased 118% to $452 billion (dramatically exceeding the the 68% growth in non- Hispanic buying power).” [1] Convenience and Price Critical: Brand loyalty varied significantly by category and their convenience and price drive store selections: • 37% - 24 hour operations a reason to shop a particular store • 21% - FSP • 52% - sale items and coupons “The challenges for retailers is to keep prices low while maintaining a high-value image and differentiating themselves from each other…and Wal-Mart.” [1] How Shoppers Really Feel About Advertising Inserts and Circulars: “According to Consumer Focus 2002…advertising inserts are effective marketing.

Mucho tiempo ha pasado desde entonces. Multitud de ideas pasaron por nuestras mentes y muchos fueron los escarceos investigadores necesarios hasta la definición concreta de los objetivos que han dado lugar a este trabajo. Un buen día, la sabiduría escondida tras una profunda capa de timidez vio la luz. Allí estaba, dormitando, la inmensidad oculta de la Web, esperando su oportunidad. Así fue como surgió la idea y me embarqué en esta apasionante aventura. Por ella comienzo mis agradecimientos, porque sin ella, todo habría sido diferente. Pero no menos diferente habría sido sin el inestimable apoyo y colaboración de aquellas personas que me han acompañado en este viaje, que han vivido y compartido mis inquietudes y temores en los momentos más complicados. A ellos quiero dedicar mis agradecimientos. En primer lugar, a mis codirectores, Alberto Pan y Fidel Cacheda. A Alberto, por su valiosa ayuda diaria, de principio a fin, por haber sabido enfocar la línea de trabajo en los momentos de duda y por proporcionarme los medios y las ideas iniciales en las que he basado el esfuerzo posterior. A Fidel, por su ayuda en la realización de este trabajo, sus importantes comentarios y su apoyo.
