The British Government Study (1944) noted that cartel instability is a prominent feature in those industries susceptible to âviolentâ changes in economic conditions. More stable industriesâ such as matches, electric lamps, and quinineâ saw steady cartel activity over long periods (British Government 1944, p. xxxii).


Cartels and anti-competitive agreements
Hard core cartel prosecution is a priority policy objective for the OECD. Increasingly, prohibition against hard core cartels is now considered to be an indispensable part of a domestic competition law.


Cartels and anti-competitive agreements
Strong sanctions are therefore a fundamental component of an effective antitrust enforcement policy against hard core cartels. An important supplement to fines against organisations for cartel conduct is sanctions against individuals for their participation in the conspiracy.


-
The shortest cartel in Eckboâs âSample 2â survived less than a year and the longest lasted 18 years. 13 In Griffinâs sample, the minimum cartel duration is one year, and the maximum is 29 years, both in the same market â wheat.


Cartels and anti-competitive agreements
Cartels are very difficult to detect. They can involve many firms in the industry and customers are rarely in a position to detect the existence of a cartel. Antitrust enforcers should be helped in their ability to detect cartels by various means and instruments, the most effective being leniency programmes. These programmes provide immunity or reduction in sanctions for cartel members that co-operate (or âwhistleblowâ) with competition enforcers.


Cartels
A significant attraction of cartels to producers is that they set rules that members follow, thus reducing risks that would exist without the cartel. The negative effects on consumers include: Higher prices-cartel members can all raise prices together, which reduces the elasticity of demand for any single member. Lack of transparency-members may agree to hide prices or withhold information, such as the hidden charges in credit card transactions.


Cartels
A cartel is a grouping of producers that work together to protect their interests. Cartels are created when a few large producers decide to co-operate with respect to aspects of their market. Once formed, cartels can fix prices for members, so that competition on price is avoided.


-
5 of low prices do not reflect the end of the cartel but are an information cost that arises from firmsâ inability to perfectly monitor one anotherâs behavior. 9 Rotemberg and Saloner (1986) present a different explanation of fluctuations in cartel behavior.


Cartels
In this case cartels are also called price rings. They can also restrict output released onto the market, such as with OPEC and oil production quotas, and set rules governing other aspects of the behaviour of members. Setting rules is especially important in oligopolistic markets, as predicted in game theory.


-
Cartel duration ranges from less than one year (in the case of several cartels that barely or never got off the ground) to 100 years between the formation of the DeBeers diamond cartel and its first breakdown. The standard deviation of cartel duration of this admittedly non-random sample is a whopping 18.3 years.


Sam's Club
Sam's Club had sales of $57.157 billion in FY 2014. It reported a 0.3% sales increase in 2014, 4.1% in 2013, and 8.4% sales increase in 2012. This is significantly higher growth than Walmart U.S. stores, which did not have higher than 2% growth since 2010. Its major competitors are Costco and BJ's Wholesale Club. As of January 31, 2014, Sam's Club operated 621 membership warehouse clubs in 48 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. Oregon and Vermont are the only states where Sam's Club does not operate. It also operates 27 locations in Brazil and 11 in China.


Sam Walton
This belief that true leadership depends on willing service was the principle on which Walmart was built, and drove the decisions the company has made for the past 50 years. So much of Walmartâs history is tied to the story of Sam Walton himself, and so much of our future will be rooted in Mr. Samâs principles.


Sam Walton
Sam's competitors thought his idea that a successful business could be built around offering lower prices and great service would never work. As it turned out, the company's success exceeded even Sam's expectations. The company went public in 1970, and the proceeds financed a steady expansion of the business.


History of Walmart
Template:As of, Sam's Club operated 602 membership warehouse clubs in 47 U.S. states (Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont are the only states without a Sam's Club), as well as Puerto Rico, Brazil, China and Mexico.


-
As the stores grew, so did Sam's aspirations. In addition to bringing new approaches and technologies to retail, he also experimented with new store formatsâincluding Sam's Club and the Walmart Supercenterâand even made the decision to take Walmart into Mexico.


Sam Walton
When his military service ended in 1945, Sam and Helen moved to Iowa and then to Newport, Arkansas. During this time, Sam gained early retail experience, eventually operating his own variety store. In 1950, the Waltons left Newport for Bentonville, where Sam opened Waltonâs 5&10 on the downtown square.

Mycobacterial Infections, Atypical
Mycobacterial infections other than tuberculosis are uncommon, and they most frequently affect people with HIV or AIDS. As cases of HIV and AIDS have increased, so have cases of mycobacterium infections. In the United States, these infections are more common than tuberculosis.


Mycobacterial Infections, Atypical
When a person's immune system is weakened, however, as in people who have HIV or AIDS, several strains of mycobacteria can cause opportunistic infections * . Atypical mycobacteria are related to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB), but they often are resistant to the drugs used to treat TB.


Mycobacterial Infections, Atypical
These strains are called mycobacteria other than tuberculosis, or MOTT. Although some mycobacteria can live on human skin or in the nose, atypical mycobacterial infections are not known to spread from person to person. Rather, infection comes from direct contact with the bacteria in the environment.

10 Ways to Cook With Beets
The tanginess of the vinegar balances the sweet earthiness of the beets. To make a quick batch of refrigerator pickled beets, peel one pound of golden or red beets and cut them into matchsticks. Toss the beets with 1 Â½ tsp. kosher salt and let them sit for 15 minutes while they release their liquid.


10 Ways to Cook With Beets
Place the sliced beets in a foil-lined baking dish (beets stain) and drizzle with oil. For whole beets, I wrap each beet individually in foil after drizzling with oil. Roast 20-30 minutes for slices and up to an hour for whole beets. Once you have your roasted beets, try not to just eat them up right then and there.


Canning Beets
Slice or chop your beets to the desired size. If you have smaller sizes(1-2 inch size) it is nice to pack them together in a jar whole. If I'm canning larger beets I either slice or cut into chunks. Add canning salt to jars if desired. 1/2 teaspoon to each pint and 1 teaspoon to each quart.


Canning Beets
Anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes. Shorter if your beets are small, longer if they are big. An easy way to see if your beets are ready, is to scrape a spoon against the beets while cooking. When the skins scrape off easily they are done.


10 Ways to Cook With Beets
Selecting, Storing and Prepping Beets. When buying beets, look for ones with at least one to two inches of stem intact or with the leaves still attached. The stems keep the juice from seeping out during cooking. The beets should be firm with smooth, dry skin and no soft or dark spots or depressions.

-
List characteristics about sexual reproduction in the right circle and characteristics of asexual reproduction in the left circle. Where the two circles overlap put characteristics that the two types of reproduction have in common.


-
Sexual reproduction. We already know that asexual means without crossing or only one parent. Sexual means âto cross.â Sexual reproduction means that two parents combine parts of their genetic material. With sexual reproduction there is usually a male and a female.


-
Quick Answer. Although sexual reproduction is a more common method of reproduction among animals, a few species, such as starfish and sea anemones, produce offspring via asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction, in contrast to sexual reproduction, does not require the mating of two parents to produce an offspring.


-
Asexual reproduction Asexual is easy to break apart. The prefix âAâ comes from the Greek language and means without. Sex means to cross. Thus the term asexual means without to cross which really doesn't make sense but it is also defined as without crossing. Asexual organisms make exact copies of themselves, almost like a photocopy. This photocopy is almost identical but mistakes can happen that allow different traits to occur in the copy. One of the big differences is the copy is usually a little smaller especially in larger organisms that reproduce this way.


Asexual Reproduction
Researchers are now using stem cells in cloning research. Stem cells are cells that can divide to form one of many different types of cells. Stem cells that come from human embryos can become any of the 200 types of cells in the human body.


-
Many plants and animals are adapted to reproduce both ways. There are advantages to each method. Jellyfish are an example of an animal that can reproduce both ways. They reproduce sexually but they also reproduce asexually. The asexual way allows them to make many copies of themselves that have an easier time finding a mate than one copy would.


Which Animals Reproduce Asexually?
A: Although sexual reproduction is a more common method of reproduction among animals, a few species, such as starfish and sea anemones, produce offspring via asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction, in contrast to sexual reproduction, does not require the mating of two parents to produce an offspring.


Asexual Reproduction
Growing new plants from the cut ends of plant stems and roots is one way that humans make clones of plants. Making clones of animals involves taking the nucleus from one type of cell and putting it into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed.


Asexual Reproduction
The individual is a clone, or an exact copy, of its parent. Asexual reproduction occurs in one-called organisms such as bacteria and in multicellular organisms such as plants. What types of asexual reproduction are there? There are several types of asexual reproduction, as shown in the table below.


Earthquake Hits Haiti: the Science Behind the Destruction
It was a relatively shallow earthquake, only 6 miles below the surface of the earth. There are really three things that go into the severity of an earthquake: its location, its depth and its magnitude, Blanpeid said. This earthquake was located quite shallowly ... therefore, the populated areas very near that fault were shaken extremely strongly.. Blanpeid said other factors such as the style and construction of the buildings and the kind of ground -- whether it is soft or hard -- also determine the amount of destruction.


What caused the devastating Haiti earthquake?
Yesterday's earthquake was one of the largest ever to hit the area â the last time an earthquake this strong struck Haiti was in the 18th century. Haiti takes up about half of the island of Hispaniola, while the Dominican Republic lies on the other side. In 1946, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake shook Samana, in the Dominican Republic, causing about 100 fatalities.

Rather, they felt the release of energy from the Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault system. The two sides of the fault line moved past each other in an east-west direction and that's what caused the energy release and the Haiti earthquakes, Bedwell said.


Earthquake Hits Haiti: the Science Behind the Destruction
Aftershocks Hit the Region. The aftershocks are likely to continue for quite some time, Blanpeid said. We may see significant aftershocks days or even possibly weeks [after the earthquake]..

Locks #27 are located at the south end of the canal. While the canal water level remains level at 400 feet above sea level, the Mississippi River drops nearly 15 feet in the 10 miles that are bypassed by the canal. As a result, a lock is required to maintain that difference in water levels.


Suspension Bridge
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was the third largest suspension span bridge in the world and only five months old when it collapsed on Saturday, November 7, 1940. The center span, measuring 2,800 ft (853.4 m), stretched between two 425 ft (129.5 m) high towers, while the side spans were each 1,100 ft (304.8 m) long.


Suspension Bridge
Another landmark suspension bridge was built across the Golden Gateâthe mouth of San Francisco Bayâfrom 1933-1937 by Joseph Strauss. The Golden Gate Bridge is 6,450 ft (1,966 m) long, with a main span of 4,200 ft (1,280 m).


Suspension Bridge
Completed in 1825, it had stone towers 153 ft (47 m) tall, was 1,710 ft (521 m) long, and boasted a span of 580 ft (177 m). The roadway, which was 30 ft (9 m) wide, was built on a rigid platform suspended from iron chain cables.

By 1940, the locks and dams from Minneapolis down to Alton, Illinois, were in place and operational. The only challenge to navigation left on the upper Mississippi River was a series of rock ledges and shelves that extended for 17 miles on the north-east side of Saint Louis.


Suspension Bridge
Because the support towers will have to be built on opposite shores of the Messina Strait, the main span will be 9,500-10,800 ft (2,900-3,300 m) long. One proposed design uses towers that are 1,312 ft (400 m) tall. Developers hope to build the bridge by 2006.


-
To solve this problem, the US Army Corps of Engineers designed and built the Chain Of Rocks Canal to bypass this area. The canal ran from just south of the mouth of the Missouri River to just north of downtown Saint Louis. The canal cut across highway US-66, so a bridge had to be built over the canal. Later, when I-270 was constructed, a pair of big metal monster bridges were built just north of US-66. Due to bedrock being so close to the surface, the canal could only be so deep.


-
When the Chain of Rocks Canal opened, it carried all large navigational traffic around the Chain of Rocks and other rough spots in the river. When the 1967 bridge carrying I-270, known as the New Chain of Rocks Bridge, was built, navigation below was of little concern.


Conditions influencing the precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate
Preliminary experiments focused on determining the concentration of magnesium (Mg 2+), ammonium (NH 4+) and phosphate (PO 4 3â) ions necessary to precipitate struvite out of solution in a high purity form with a high crystal yield.

You may even find some species of ladybugs that eat mushrooms and other types of fungus. There are some species that eat leaves and turn into pests instead of being helpful to farmers. However, a majority of them are not considered as pests and are welcome in the garden.


Good Bugs, Bad Bugs: Ladybug vs. Aphid
They are recognized as one of the most beneficial garden insects. Aphids are one of the major foods of all four thousand species of this metamorphosing insect. Ladybugs eat aphids whole as adults, and one ladybug may eat as many as five thousand in a lifetime. As youngsters they stab aphids with their mandibles (biting jaws) and suck out their juices, not unlike the way the aphid sucks sap from leaves. Ladybugs are often named after the number of spots on their wing covers.

Their legs, head, and antennae are also black in color. Diet. Kids are often quite curious about what ladybugs eat.


What Do Stink Bugs Eat?
They also feed on field crops like sorghum and cotton. Around homes, stink bugs have been found feeding on ornamental plants. When stink bugs feed on fruits like peaches or apples, they use their mouth to pierce the skin of the fruit. The insect injects a small amount of saliva into the fruit. The saliva is toxic to the cells of the fruit, so when the damaged fruit grows, it develops a scar.

Peptide Synthesis: Solution Phase, Solid Phase or Hybrid?
Peptides are produced using one of three synthesis methods: solution phase, solid phase or a hybrid approach. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Solution phase synthesis (commonly referred to as âliquid phaseâ) is regarded as the traditional approach to peptide production.


Peptide Synthesis: Solution Phase, Solid Phase or Hybrid?
Each has its advantages and disadvantages. 1  Solution phase synthesis (commonly referred to as âliquid phaseâ) is regarded as the traditional approach to peptide production. 2  In solid phase synthesis, the peptide is constructed on resins (e.g., polystyrene, polyacrylamide, PEG).


Peptide Synthesis
Peptide synthesis is characterized as the formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids. While the definition of a peptide is not definitive, it usually refers to flexible (little secondary structure) chains of up to 30â50 amino acids.


Solid-phase synthesis
Solid-phase synthesis of peptides. Solid-phase synthesis is the most common technique for peptide synthesis. Usually, peptides are synthesized from the carbonyl group side (C-terminus) to amino group side (N-terminus) of the amino acid chain in this method, although peptides are synthesised in the opposite direction in cells.


Peptide Synthesis
By far, though, solid-phase peptide synthesis is the most common method of peptide synthesis today. Instead of C-terminal protection with a chemical group, the C-terminus of the first amino acid is coupled to an activated solid support, such as polystyrene or polyacrylamide.


Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis
Click to enlarge. There are two major forms of solid phase peptide synthesis Ã¢ (1) Fmoc (base labile alpha-amino protecting group) and (2)t-Boc (acid labile protecting group). Each method involves different resins and amino acid side-chain protection and consequent cleavage/deprotection steps.

Sigma-Aldrich is proud of being able to meet all your needs in chemical peptide synthesis. offering more than 2,600 products related to this field. You can obtain all the necessary. tools for solution- and solid-phase peptide synthesis conveniently from a single source. You. can choose between 2,100 natural and unnatural amino acid building blocks to design. your peptide, and select the coupling method for the most efficient synthesis.


Peptide Synthesis
The use of a C-terminal protecting group depends on the type of peptide synthesis used; while liquid-phase peptide synthesis requires protection of the C-terminus of the first amino acid (C-terminal amino acid), solid-phase peptide synthesis does not, because a solid support (resin) acts as the protecting group for the only C-terminal amino acid ...


Solid-phase synthesis
In chemistry, solid-phase synthesis is a method in which molecules are bound on a bead and synthesized step-by-step in a reactant solution; compared with normal synthesis in a liquid state, it is easier to remove excess reactant or byproduct from the product.


Peptide Synthesis: Solution Phase, Solid Phase or Hybrid?
Among its benefits, solution phase synthesis delivers better economies of scale â the technique is much more scalable, can produce large quantities of high-quality peptides, and at a lower cost point than solid phase or hybrid methods. Solution phase, however, is not well-suited to the production of larger peptides.

In the beginning, Rockwell Field was the airport serving Las Vegas. Western Air Express Airlines brought scheduled flights to the airport in 1926. Rockwell Field closed in 1930 and was replaced by a new airport northwest of town, later named McCarran Airport.


-
One can easily see that this airport is one of the busiest in the world. In 2008 this Las Vegas airport was ranked 15 in terms of passenger traffic with almost 45 million passengers passing through the facility. The airport also ranked 6 in the world for aircraft movement with almost 580,000 takeoffs and landings.


-
McCarran was the first airport in the US to provide this service and the first in the world to provide the service to all airlines from a single kiosk. At the same time, six kiosks were activated at the Las Vegas Convention Center allowing convention attendees to get boarding passes on their way to the airport.


McCarran International Airport
It is about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of downtown Las Vegas, in the unincorporated area of Paradise in Clark County. It covers roughly 2,800 acres (1,100 ha), with four runways and two terminals. McCarran is owned by Clark County and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation (DOA).


LAS Airport - Las Vegas McCarran Airport ( Las Vegas , NV )

Can dogs get head lice and transfer them to humans (or vice versa)?
The short answer to this question is no. Lice are species-specific, meaning that there is a different species of lice for each animal species that they depend on. Human lice need human blood to survive, dog lice need dog blood, and so on. Therefore, if your child comes home from school with a diagnosis of head lice, your dog, cat, or other pets in the household are not at risk from catching the lice or hatching eggs. Conversely, while not as common in dogs and cats, the species of lice that live on dogs and cats are not able to live on humans.


-
Various ânaturalâ remedies are vigorously marketed on the Internet but we have found no scientific basis for their. claims of efficacy and human safety. Manual removal of the live lice and nits is the safe alternative and a necessary component of any head lice. treatment regimen. The NPA recommends the LiceMeisterÂ® Comb to enable families to screen often, detect head. lice early and thoroughly remove lice and nits.


Malathion Frequently Asked Questions
To kill lice and nits that may have fallen or crawled off the head onto clothing or other articles, machine wash clothing, bed linens, and other items (e.g. towels, stuffed animals, comforters, blankets, etc.) that the infested person wore, slept on, or used during the 2 days before treatment.


Malathion Frequently Asked Questions
After treatment, use a fine-toothed nit comb to check the hair for live lice every 2â3 days for 2â3 weeks until sure that all lice are gone. If live lice are found 7 to 9 days after treatment, retreat with a second application of the same medication.


Prevention & Control
Prevention & Control. Head lice are spread most commonly by direct head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact. However, much less frequently they are spread by sharing clothing or belongings onto which lice have crawled or nits attached to shed hairs may have fallen.


-
Animal Medical Hospital. Nobody wants to see lice on their pet, any more than they do on their kids. Lice cause intense itching and scratching, and can make pets a bit crazy with all the crawling and biting. The good thing is that lice seldom cause long-lasting problems.


Prevention & Control
Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lay. However, spending much time and money on housecleaning activities is not necessary to avoid reinfestation by lice or nits that may have fallen off the head or crawled onto furniture or clothing.


-
Unlike fleas, lice live out their entire life cycle on the animal. The adult female lice lay eggs, gluing them tightly to the hair shafts. The eggs are referred to as nits. In the photo to the left you can see two nits from a dog seen at our clinic. The eggs are actually glued on to the hairs.


Malathion Frequently Asked Questions
Head lice do not live long (less than 1â2 days) if they fall off a person and cannot feed; nits cannot hatch and usually die within a week if they are not kept at the same temperature as that found close to the human scalp. You do not need to spend a lot of time or money on housecleaning activities.

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), when observing daylight saving time (spring/summer) is 4 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTCâ04:00). In the northern parts of the time zone, during the second Sunday in March, at 2:00 a.m. EST, clocks are advanced to 3:00 a.m. EDT leaving a one-hour gap.

Eastern Standard Time (EST)
This time zone is reckoned 75 degrees west of the Greenwich and it encompasses most of the eastern parts of the United States. It is also the timezone used in Canada, the Caribbean, and in a few countries of South America.All places using it are five hours before the universal time, UTC-05:00.n the northern parts of the time zone on second Sunday of March when it is 2:00 AM EST, clocks are moved forward by one hour to 3:00 AM EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) . Conversely, on the first Sunday of the month of November when it is 2:00 AM EDT, clocks are usually moved back by one hour to 1:00 AM.


Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
When providing a time or scheduling a meeting, itâs important that you understand how these time zone distinctions work. For example, if youâre on the eastern coast of the United States, youâre in the EST/EDT zone depending on what time of year it is.If youâre on the west coast, you are on Pacific Standard Time (PST) or PDT (daylight time) again, depending on if itâs summer or winter.n the summer, those who observe this practice will be on EDT time which is four 4 hours behind Universal Coordinated Time. During the winter months when they go back an hour, they will be 5 hours behind UTC and therefore part of Eastern Standard Time.

While it may seem confusing, many of the U.S. States and countries in the Eastern Standard Time zone also observe what is known as Eastern Daylight Time for a portion of the year.n the summer, those who observe this practice will be on EDT time which is four 4 hours behind Universal Coordinated Time. During the winter months when they go back an hour, they will be 5 hours behind UTC and therefore part of Eastern Standard Time.

Ingenious (board game)
The game can be played by two, three or four players, with additional rules provided for solo and four-player partnership play. Each player has a rack of six randomly chosen tiles which are concealed from the other players.


Ingenious â Addicting family fun
Sure itâs a simple tile placement game, and kids will have fun just matching tiles from what they draw, but by throwing in a unique scoring element and game winning condition, youâll find yourself putting a lot of thought into each move to get the best result.

Ingenious Summary Cards. Short summary cards for players. The goal of the game, and how to score is listed first, and the second part is what a player does on their turn. I used these at a recent event, the players found them useful, I thought I'd share.


Ingenious (board game)
Each match consists of one game. The scoring charts are placed beside the board, both in the same side, with the same orientation and visible to both players. The first-named player plays first. Each tile can be placed so that it touches any tile that is down or one of the special colour start cells.


Ingenious (board game)
Otherwise, the game ends when no more pieces can be added to the board, at which time players check the colour in which they have the least points. Whoever has the highest point value in their weakest colour is the winner of the game. In the case of ties, the second weakest colour is checked, and so on.


Ingenious (board game)
Players take turns placing a tile on the board, scoring points by creating lines of identically coloured hexes. On the first turn, each player must place a tile next to a different one of the six printed coloured symbols on the board; thereafter players may place tiles on any free space.


Ingenious  (2004)
Players then compare their lowest scores, and whoever has the highest low score wins. Ingenious includes rules for solitaire and team play; in the latter case, two teams of two play, with each player not being able to see his partner's tiles and teams keeping a combined score that maxes out at 36 instead of 18.

Ingenious â Addicting family fun
As they grow, theyâll work their way into the strategy. But you can also play Ingenious in teams. So an older person could team up with a younger child to even the teams out. It makes for quite the interesting game because without discussing your moves you never know where they might place their tiles. It looks like orange needs some love.

Bacterial diseases
Bacterial diseases. Written By: Bacterial diseases, any of a variety of illnesses caused by bacteria. Until the mid-20th century, bacterial pneumonia was probably the leading cause of death among the elderly. Improved sanitation, vaccines, and antibiotics have all decreased the mortality rates from bacterial infections, though antibiotic-resistant strains have caused a resurgence in some illnesses.


Pathogenic bacteria
Pathogenic susceptibility. Some pathogenic bacteria cause disease under certain conditions, such as entry through the skin via a cut, through sexual activity or through a compromised immune function. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are part of the normal skin microbiota and typically reside on healthy skin or in the nasopharangeal region.

Hard links and Unix file system nodes (inodes)
(dot dot) in every one of those sub-directories is a link to the inode number of the parent directory, the link count of the parent directory is increased by one for every sub-directory the parent contains.


inode
1 Files can have multiple names. 2  If multiple names hard link to the same inode then the names are equivalent; i.e., the first to be created has no special status. 3  This is unlike symbolic links, which depend on the original name, not the inode (number). 4  An inode may have no links.


Hard links and Unix file system nodes (inodes)
Unix doesn't store the name of the directory or file in the inode. Every inode in the file system has a unique number, and the file system locates the contents of a directory or file strictly by its inode number.


curl (1) - Linux man page
1 The User ID of the file's owner. 2  The Group ID of the file. 3  The file mode which determines the file type and how the file's owner, its group, and others can access the file. 4  Additional system and user flags to further protect the file (limit its use and modification).


Hard links and Unix file system nodes (inodes)
For each inode, no matter whether the inode is a directory or a file inode, a link count in the inode keeps track of how many directories contain a name-number mapping for that inode. If an inode has only one name-number map (only one name), its link count is one.


inode
In a Unix-style file system, the inode is a data structure used to represent a filesystem object, which can be one of various things including a file or a directory. Each inode stores the attributes and disk block location(s) of the filesystem object's data.


Hard links and Unix file system nodes (inodes)
All this means that the name of a directory or file is stored separately (in a different inode) from the inode that actually points to the directory or file contents. The name-inode map information is stored in a directory inode; the actual data content of the directory or file is stored in a different inode.


inode
The inode number indexes a table of inodes in a known location on the device; from the inode number, the file system driver portion of the kernel can access the contents of the inode, including the location of the file allowing access to the file.


inode
The operating system kernel's in-memory representation of this data is called struct inode in Linux. Systems derived from BSD use the term vnode, with the v of vnode referring to the kernel's virtual file system layer.
