Long-Term Monitoring And Analyses Of Physical Factors Regulating Variability In Coastal Antarctic Phytoplankton Biomass, In Situ Productivity And Taxonomic Composition Over Subseasonal, Seasonal And Interannual Time Scales, Mark A. Moline, Barbara B. Prezelin

Biological Sciences

A 3 yr high-resolution temporal data base related to phytoplankton dynamics was collected during the austral spring/summer periods of 1991 to 1994 in shelf waters adjacent to Palmer Station, Antarctica. Here, the data base is used (1) to quantify the variability in phytoplankton biomass, in situ productivity and taxonomic composition over subseasonal, seasonal and interannual time scales; (2) to elucidate environmental mechanisms controlling these temporal patterns; and (3) to ascertain which phytoplankton markers are most suitable for detecting longer-term (i.e. decadal) trends in phytoplankton dynamics in coastal waters of the Southern Ocean. The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) coastal study sites …

Immunocytochemistry By Electron Spectroscopic Imaging Using Well Defined Boronated Monovalent Antibody Fragments, M. M. Kessels, B. Qualmann, W. D. Sierralta

Scanning Microscopy

Contributing to the rapidly developing field of immunoelectron microscopy a new kind of markers has been created. The element boron, incorporated as very stable carborane clusters into different kinds of peptides, served as a marker detectable by electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) - an electron microscopic technique with high-resolution potential.

Covalently linked immunoreagents conspicuous by the small size of both antigen recognizing part and marker moiety are accessible by using peptide concepts for label construction and their conjugation with Fab' fragments. Due to a specific labeling of the free thiol groups of the Fab' fragments, the antigen binding capacity was not …

In Situ Hybridization, In Situ Transcription, And In Situ Polymerase Chain Reaction, L. E. De Bault, J. Gu

Scanning Microscopy

In situ hybridization, in situ transcription, and in situ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are techniques used to detect DNA and RNA sequences within a cell or tissue structure. These three in situ methodologies employ the principles of recombinant DNA to form double-stranded hybrids of DNA-DNA, DNA-RNA, or RNA-RNA. The essence of in situ hybridization (ISH) is the hybridization of a labeled probe to a complementary target sequence, whereas in situ transcription (IST) is the synthesis of complementary DNA incorporating a label directly on the target DNA or RNA within a cell or tissue. In the case of in situ PCR …

A Social Exchange Explanation Of Participation In The U.S. Farm Program, John K. Thomas, Jack Thigpen

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Passage of the 1990 Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act resulted from the political influence of many environmental interest groups and, consequently, included many conservation provisions. As agricultural policy has increasingly reflected the environmental concerns of the public, farmers who participate in the Farm Program have adjusted their production practices to conserve land and water resources, minimize use of agrichemicals, and control animal wastes. Social exchange theory was used to examine personal and farm characteristics that could affect agroenvironmental attitudes, Farm Program participation, and conservation practices of Texas farmers (n = 1,063 farmers) in 199 1. One in four farmers …

Conflict In The Community: A Challenge For Land Grant Universities, Thomas W. Ilvento

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This paper revisits the notion of conflict in the community and then discusses a relatively new strategy for dealing with community conflict that is gaining popularity: alternative dispute resolution (ADR), particularly mediation. While ADRs are not entirely new, there has been a renewed interest in them as viable strategies for community development and public policy education. Conflict in communities is ubiquitous and should demand greater attention by rural sociologists, particularly those involved in community development. Environmental mediation is a strategy through which rural sociologists can effectively assist a community in resolving conflict Furthermore, as rural sociologists study and practice environmental …

Expression Of Human Protein C In Mammary Tissue Of Transgenic Mammals , William H. Velander

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Patents

Recombinant protein C characterized by a high percentage of active protein can be obtained in the milk of transgenic mammals that incorporate DNAs according to the present invention. Transgenic mammals of the present invention are produced by introducing into developing embryos DNA that encodes protein C, such that the DNA is stably incorporated in the DNA of germ line cells of the mature mammals and inherited in normal, mendelian fashion.

Revision Of The High Speed Craft Code, Kim Yeon-Tae

World Maritime University Dissertations

The objective of this dissertation is to identify and discuss potential and experienced problems in the requirements of the Code and suggest revisions. A brief explanation is given to various kinds of high speed craft presently popular in the market: Catamaran; SWATH; Hover Craft; Hydrofoil Craft and Planing Craft, concerning their characteristics of resistance, stability, strength, response to wave effect and sea-keeping performance. Development of the Code, its philosophy and principles for ship safety regulation are discussed. Some requirements of the Code which are peculiar to high speed craft are reviewed concerning general requirement and scope of application, public space, …

Automation And Safety, Seydina Oumar Leye

World Maritime University Dissertations

Since late 195O's “ automation” was quasi inexistent in the shipping industry. It was only in the mid 196O's that its application on board ships has become a noticeable reality. Safety was dealt with globally by the maritime community since after the disaster of the Titanic. The application of automation in the shipping industry has carried some safety related problems that have made the international community express concern. The topic” Automation and safety” intends to highlight those problems by studying the impact of the new technologies on the seafarers daily life, skills and knowledge. The technology of the equipment used …

The Role Of Maritime Administration And Maritime Safety Administration In Reducing Loss Of Life And Property At Sea In Kenya, Wilfred J. Kagimbi

World Maritime University Dissertations

The dissertation is an examination of what has gone wrong in the maritime transport in Kenya as the number of accidents have increased tremendously and become too frequent in the last fourteen years. The accidents have also become very serious, for example Mtongwe ferry and and Mv Bukoba between them killed about 1000 people. The study has highlighted various accidents and the various factors at play in such accidents. The many immediate contributing factors have been investigated to determine which among them are the main causes of the accidents. The various maritime administrations in charge of various areas of maritime …

Port State Control : A Standard Procedure, R. V.B. Nair

World Maritime University Dissertations

This dissertation deals with Port State Control. Over the years there has been wide variation in the assessment of ships, as perceived by different shipping interests. A detailed analysis of Port State Control including the legal background was done to evaluate the present day problems. The effects of new SOLAS amendments and IMO guide lines on Port State Control are discussed. It was observed that the professional competence of Port State Control Officers (PSCO) is far from uniform and their experience vary widely throughout the world. Hence a requirement to separate 'need to know' from 'nice to know' was felt. …
