Sport Tourism: A Business Inherency Or An Innate Compulsion?, Joseph Kurtzman, John Zauhar

Visions in Leisure and Business

Human interactions are usually reconcilable by certain mutually acceptable actions-- that is by interpretation and balance between stimulus and response. As such, specific or symbolic behaviours give meaning to Sport Tourism. Conditions springing from actions take into account opportunities, means, demands, discomforts, impositions and the like. Decisions are based on the assessment of these factors--be it by the individual, by the collectivity or societal quest. Furthermore, decisional behaviours are defined or structured in terms of business procedures, holistic conditions or mediated interpretations--in essence, an interactionist approach to Sport Tourism.

The Case For Utilizing The World Trade Organization As A Forum For Global Environmental Regulation, Andrew L. Strauss

School of Law Faculty Publications

In his article "Environmental Policy in the New World Economy," Alan Miller discusses the environmental implications of globalization. Recognizing that the flow of international private capital to developing countries is far more significant than international development assistance, he questions how we can use public policy to maximize the positive environmental effects of private investment. Miller suggests the need to find strategies that utilize market forces to benefit the environment.

This article heeds Alan Miller's call by suggesting new approaches to thinking about the potential for the World Trade Organization (WTO) to play a positive environmental role.

In this article, my …

Nodule Organogenesis And Symbiotic Mutants Of The Model Legume Lotus Japonicus, Krzysztof Szczyglowski, Robert S. Shaw, Judith Wopereis, Sue Copeland, Dirk Hamburger, Beth Kasiborski, Frank B. Dazzo, Frans J. De Bruijn

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

A detailed microscopical analysis of the morphological features that distinguish different developmental stages of nodule organogenesis in wild-type Lotus japonicus ecotype Gifu B-129-S9 plants was performed, to provide the necessary framework for the evaluation of altered phenotypes of L. japonicus symbiotic mutants. Subsequently, chemical ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis of L. japonicus was carried out. The analysis of approximately 3,000 M1 plants and their progeny yielded 20 stable L. japonicus symbiotic variants, consisting of at least 14 different symbiosis- associated loci or complementation groups. Moreover, a mutation affecting L. japonicus root development was identified that also conferred a hypernodulation response when …

Analysis Of University Personnel's Perception Of Institutional Factors Impacting Student Persistence/Retention, Jose Melendez

Dissertations

Problem

Universities are assessing which institutional efforts are most directly impacting student attrition. This study identified important institutional factors impacting student attrition/retention using university personnel. It also measured personnel perception of how satisfactorily addressed were institutional factors impacting student persistence.

Methods

A quantitative survey methodology was used, and a survey instrument was developed and validated in the study. Tinto’s 1987 model of Student Departure and the Melendez model o f Transaction Satisfaction toward Student Persistence were used to guide the development of the instalment. The Melendez model was formulated as a rival hypothesis and an alternative tool for the study …

Identification And Quantification Of Radionuclides In Coal Ash, James E. Alleman, Franklyn M. Clikeman, Thomas Skronski

JTRP Technical Reports

One of the important environmental issues raised recently in regard to coal ash reuse for highway construction purposes (e.g., embankment development) is that of worker, and public, exposure to radiation which might possibly be emitted by these types of residuals. Radiation emission is, in fact, a natural phenomenon for most materials, both natural and man-made, but in the case of coal ash residuals the process of combustion produces an inevitable concentration of radionuclides from the original virgin coal. INDOT’s corresponding environmental concern consequently focuses on the following basic question: does this magnification of radionuclides found within these coal ash residuals …

Turkish Journal of Biology

The expression vectors are designed for expression and purification of normal or recombi-nant gene of interest. There is a wide variety of stable and transferable selectable mammalian expres-sion vectors.The vector pCDM8 and its derivatives, pcDNAI/Ampicilline are widely used for cloning and analyzing of genes in higher eukaryotic cells. The vectors pRC/CMV, pcDNA3 and pRC/RSV are designed for high-level expression of recombinant genes in mammalian cells. In the present study, we have been able to transfect and express the monospecific bacterial (Moroxcella spp) cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferase (MTase) M.Msp1 gene in cultured cells within a newly con-structed mammalian transfection vector. We have …

In Vivo Dna Methylation Of Escherichia Colidh5\Alphaand Top10f' Strains By Bacterial Cytosine-5methyltransferase M. Msp1, Öztürk Özdemi̇r, David Hornby

Turkish Journal of Biology

At the chromatin level, methylated CpG dinucleotides are R.Msp1 resistant compared with nonmethylated counterparts. The DNA of two E.coli strains was analyzed following transformation-with bacterial cytosine-5-methyltransferase gene M.Msp1 in mammalian transfection vector pcDNA3. Expression of the M.Msp1 was tested by R.Msp1 digestion. The results suggest that the DNA of both strains was fully methylated at the CCGG sequences, by the active enzyme under the control of T7 and cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoters. Methylated DNA can not be digested and it exhibits higher frag-ment sizes in 1% agarose gel in contrast to the untransformed cell DNAs in vivo.

The Effects Of Phenoxybenzamine And Cold Stresson Tyrosine Hydroxylase Enzyme Activity Andexpression Of Tyrosine Hydroxylase Gene In The Ratadrenal Medulla, Muhittin Yürekli

Turkish Journal of Biology

The effects of cold exposure and cold plus phenoxybenzamine treatment on tyrosine hydrox-ylase (TH) activity and TH m RNA levels were investigated in the adrenal medulla of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. SD rats were exposed to cold (4 °C) for 48 hours. Phenoxybenzamine was injected intra-peritoneally (i.p) at 20 mg/kg, which was prepared in 5% ethanol containing 0.9 % NaCL TH activity was measured by monitoring the formation of 3 H 2 O as a product of L-(3 H)-tyrosine hydroxylation, the formation of L-(3 H)-dopa from L-(3 H)-tyrosine. Total adrenal RNA was isolated and blotted onto a nylon membrane and …

A Comparison Of Germ Tube Production By Candidaalbicans In Three Media, Gülhan Vardar-Ünlü

Turkish Journal of Biology

The conversion of C. albicans. from commensal to the pathogenic state is associated with its ability to make the dimorphic transition from the yeast to the hyphal (germ tube) form. Three liq-uid media were compared in ability to promote germ tube production by C. albicans. Medium 199 and Glucose-Glycine Medium at 37°C were highly satisfactory and gave 90 % conversion of yeast cells to hyphal-form cells. Sucrose-Gelatine medium gave only 15% conversion. Glucose-Glycine medium appeared to give more rapid germ tube production than 199 Medium.

Purification And Characterization Of Pediocin F, Abacteriocin Produced By Pediococcus Acidilacticif, Özlem Osmanagaoğlu, Ufuk Gündüz, Yavuz Beyatli, Cumhur Çökmüş

Turkish Journal of Biology

In this work, Pediococcus acidilactici F isolated from fermented sausage was reported to produce an extracellular antimicrobial peptide, termed Pediocin F, that was protein in nature and effec-tive against many bacteria associated with food spoilage and food related health hazards. Pediocin F is reported here to be sensitive to proteolytic enzymes, resistant to heat and organic solvents, and active over a wide range of pH. We have also reported that the extracellular antimicrobial protein pro-duced by P. acidilactici F was really a small peptide. Coomassie-blue stained SDS-PAGE technique allowed us to estimate the molecular weight of this small peptide to …

A Theoretical Study On The Sex-Pheromones Of Therice Moth, Corcyra Cephalonica Stainton, Lemi Türker

Turkish Journal of Biology

Molecular orbital calculations (AM1 type) were performed on the geometry optimized structures of various farnesal isomers and methyl esters of farnesoic acids. It has been found that the major component, E, E-farnesal, of the sex-pheromone for the rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton is chemically the most exothermic and stable of all the farnesal isomers. Then, the resem-blance of molecular shapes was detrmined in order to design more stable sex-attractants.

Larval Growth And Survival Of Penaeus Indicus(Decapoda: Penaeidae) On Live Feeds, Metin Kumlu

Turkish Journal of Biology

This study was conducted to compare the suitability of three microalgal species (Tetraselmis chuii, Skeletonema costatum and Rhinomonas reticulata), both individually and in combination, as food for Penaeus indicus during larval culture. To determine the best feeding density, each alga was fed to protozoea 1 (PZI) larvae from 10 to 80 cells mL -1 . The best algal-cell density, promoting the highest survival rate, greatest growth and fastest larval development, was obtained at 60-70 cells mL -1 with a combination of T. chuii and S. costatum. Low cell densities (10-20 cells mL -1 ) were not effective. The diatom S. …
