Property And Exporpriation: Themes And Variations In American Law, Carol M. Rose

Utah Law Review

It is time to return to the framing question: what do Type I and Type I expropriations tell us about the contentious Type II takings issues? Type I disruptions show how certain kinds of expropriation are necessarily built into a property regime; they make the regime itself function. Type III disruptions are at the other extreme: they are expropriations that occur not from the logic of a property regime, but rather because some people, rightly or wrongly, are not deemed to be participants in the property regime at all. At that extreme, denial of property is denial of membership in …

Tribute: Daniel J. Dykstra-The Utahyears 1949-1965, John J. Flynn

Utah Law Review

It is with humility and trepidation that I rise to recount Dan Dykstra's years as a teacher, leader, and friend of the University of Utah, its College of Law, his Utah colleagues, and his Utah students. Humility because there are those with us today who are better able to recall those years like his lifelong friends Bob and Peggy Swenson and Rita Fordham. Also, there are others who knew the Dykstra family as close friends during all their Utah years and could speak more eloquently than I, but who could not be here today, like Fred and Belva Emery, Spence …

Development Of The Random Amplified Polymorphic Dna (Rapd) Technique To Measure The Effects Of Genotoxinsin Aquatic Organisms, Franck Andre Atienzar

School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses

Studies were undertaken to evaluate the potential of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to detect DNA effects (including DNA damage and mutations) in aquatic invertebrates, following their exposure to a variety of environmental contaminants under laboratory conditions. After rigorous optimisation of the RAPD method, the protocol, which used a high annealing temperature (50"C for 10-mer primers), was found to generate good-quality DNA profiles from groups of organisms belonging to the bacterial, plant and animal kingdoms. The RAPD method was initially used to detect benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] and copper-induced DNA effects in the water flea Daphnia magna and ultraviolet-mediated DNA effects in …

An Evaluation Of The Use Of Spectral Properties In Monitoring Stress In Marine Macroalgae, Sarah Jane May

School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses

The overall aim of this thesis was to assess the potential of developing specific quantifiable assays of pollutant damage based on changes on the in vivo optical properties of macroalgae, applicable to laboratory and remote systems. The green macroalgae, E.intestinalis, was exposed to selected trace metals (copper and zinc), triazine herbicides (Irgarol 1051 and atrazine) and a series of alcohols (n = 1 - 9). The algal in vivo spectral properties, measured using a spectrophotometer fitted with an integrating sphere, determined changes due to exposure, and results were compared with established methods, including growth and fluorescence, to assess algal health …

Models Of Oxidative Stress Induced By Disease Or Pollution In Invertebrates And Vertebrates, Heather Clare Meigh

School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses

Glutathione and its related enzymes have a central role in the antioxidant mechanisms of both invertebrates and vertebrates. Evidence suggests that changes in antioxidant defence mechanisms are associated with the late complications of diabetes. In addition, invertebrates show changes in antioxidant mechanisms in response to contamination; these changes have the potential to be utilised in the environmental monitoring of pollution. The present study investigated the role of glutathione and its related enzymes with regard to complications of diabetes and toxicity exposure using the crab, Carcinus maenas. A preliminary investigation showed that glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities are unaltered in …

Differentiating The Curriculum For Gifted Young Adolescents In The Middle School Classroom, Eileen M. Boggess

Graduate Research Papers

Academically gifted students exist in every classroom and in all segments of the population. Rather than ignore their gifts and assume that a pull-out program for gifted students will satisfy their educational needs, schools need to accept the fact that gifted students are gifted all day, every day. Intellectually gifted young adolescents are prisoners of time in the classroom. Most of the material covered in a regular classroom is review or aimed at lower cognitive ability students. This leaves gifted young adolescents bored, restless, or hostile to their education. By differentiating the content, process, products, or learning environment of the …

Telomeric Repeats Of Immortal Hamster Cells, Nedi̇me Serakinci, Jorn Koch

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

We have analyzed telomeres in four hamster cell lines to investigate how telomeres look in cells grown past the Hayflick limit. In all four cell lines telomeric signals were seen after detection with two different sensitive in situ methods (FISH with PNA probes and PRINS). The telomeric signals were not very strong, suggesting that the repeats are very short, but were nevertheless clearly visible. With the PRINS technique, it was further possible to probe also for the presence of variant telomeric repeats at the chromosome ends. With some of the variant repeat probes, a difference was seen between probes for …

Contralateral White Noise-Induced Enhancement In The Guinea Pigõs Mlr: A Possible Link To Direc- Tional Hearing, Cüneyt Göksoy, Rezzan Utkuçal

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The evoked potential components in a time window of 10-50 ms following an acoustic stimulus are called middle latency responses (MLRs). It is known that an amplitude enlargement occurs in guinea pig MLRs to monaural clicks when continuous white noise is applied to the other ear. This study was undertaken to see whether this enlargement is due simply to an overall, generalised effect of contralateral white noise (WN), or whether it may have some connection to directional hearing. Recordings were made from chronic guinea pig preparations with epidural electrodes in the temporal regions. Parallel to the results in the literature, …
