    Patty McCord.
    Summary: "When it comes to recruiting, motivating, and creating great teams, Patty McCord says most companies have it all wrong. McCord helped create the unique and high-performing culture at Netflix, where she was chief talent officer. In her new book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, she shares what she learned there and elsewhere in Silicon Valley. McCord advocates practicing radical honesty in the workplace, saying good-bye to employees who don't fit the company's emerging needs, and motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks, and bonus plans. She argues that the old standbys of corporate HR--annual performance reviews, retention plans, employee empowerment and engagement programs--often end up being a colossal waste of time and resources. Her road-tested advice, offered with humor and irreverence, provides readers a different path for creating a culture of high performance and profitability. Powerful will change how you think about work and the way a business should be run"--Dust jacket flap.

    A technique has been used to measure distributions of oxygen removal rate, QR, in samples of recently excised tissue where QR is defined as the ratio of the oxygen uptake rate to the oxygen solubility. QR was measured at 91 sampling points across a cross section of tissue of diameter 5 mm. By placing markers in the tissue and using special procedures to obtain sections of the tissue samples it was possible to compare the distributions of QR with the histological structure of the tissues. The overall resolution of the system is about 1/2 mm so that structures of the order of a millimetre or more could be examined. There are considerable inhomogeneities in QR within some normal tissues, for example 4-19 mm Hg/s in rat kidney and 0.4-1.5 mm Hg/s in human cervix. Inhomogeneities in tumour tissues are also associated with the histological structure and examples for the Lewis lung mouse carcinoma show a correlation between QR and regions of viable or necrotic tissue. For a biopsy sample of human carcinoma of the cervix QR correlates with the degree of local infiltration by tumour cells.
