In Vitro Propagation Of Thymus Sipyleus Boiss. (Lamiaceae), Bengi̇ Baba Erdağ, A. Kami̇l Yürekli̇

Turkish Journal of Biology

In vitro propagation of Thymus sipyleus Boiss. (Lamiaceae), an endemic from western Anatolia was investigated. Sterilized seeds of the plant were germinated on modified Murashige-Skoog medium (mMS) and Heller's nutrient media. Then, seedlings were transferred to Murashige-Skoog basal medium containing 0.4 mg/l Naphtaleneacetic acid, (NAA) and 3 mg/l Benzyladenin (BA) and then they formed callus where they were in contact with the medium. Plantlets which regenerated on the same medium formed multiple shoots within 2 weeks and they were rooted after the 4th subculture.

Physiological Changes In Grapevines Induced By Osmotic Stress Originated From Salt And Their Role In Salt Resistance, Nuray Si̇vri̇tepe

Turkish Journal of Biology

Rooted cuttings of Çavuş (salt-resistant), Müşküle (salt-sensitive) and Sultani Çekirdeksiz (moderately salt-sensitive) grapevine cultivars, grown in perlite medium, were subjected to salt stress by irrigating them with 1/2 Hoagland nutrient solution including different NaCl concentrations (0.00, 0.50 and 0.75%). It was determined that stomatal conductance and transpiration were strongly inhibited in Müşküle and Sultani Çekirdeksiz with salt treatments, while these physiological activities were maintained with a controlled decrease in cv. Çavuş. Relative water content of leaves decreased while loss of turgor increased in cv. Müşküle due to the salt treatments. Similar changes were also observed in cv. Sultani Çekirdeksiz although …

Cybershopping Levels The Playing Field In Global Retailing, Charles D. Mccullough

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

Today's business environment has an ever-changing landscape. The environment is no longer just local, regional, or national. It is a global environment. The most successful businesses will have to be able to meet the needs of its customers before its competitors. Many people do not like huge stores and crowded aisles. Also, the element of customer service seems to be vanishing. This has led to customer dissatisfaction. Customers are increasingly looking for a new format in which they can buy their goods. They have increasingly turned to the Internet. The future of the Internet looks bright. Retailers are making their …

Open-And-Shut: Senate Impeachment Deliberations Must Be Public, Marjorie Cohn

UC Law Journal

During President William Clinton's impeachment trial, Chief Justice William Rehnquist denied a request to open the deliberations to the public, relying on Senate tradition and ambiguous rules of procedure. This article examines the current Senate impeachment rules in the context of an historical tradition of Senate secrecy, and argues for rule changes to create a clear rule of openness at all stages of an impeachment trial, including deliberations.

Professor Cohn argues the rules adopted in the 19th century need to be modified to conform to 21st century America. Differences discussed include popularly elected senators, increased accountability of government stemming largely …

The Public Health Case For The Safe Storage Of Firearms: Adolescent Suicides Add One More Smoking Gun, Andrew J. Mcclurg

UC Law Journal

In this article, Professor McClurg makes the case for mandatory safe gun storage laws as a means of reducing adolescent suicides. He has argued in other articles in favor of safe storage as a means of reducing accidental shootings and criminal misuse of stolen guns. The article begins by analyzing firearms suicides in the U.S., which McClurg calls "the forgotten statistic in the gun control debate." He reviews numerous studies establishing a nexus between guns and suicide, particularly between guns in the home and adolescent suicide. He then examines ten different studies showing that large percentages of American gun owners …

The Effect Of Biogenic Fe(Ii) On The Stability And Sorption Of Co(Ii)Edta22 To Goethite And A Subsurface Sediment, John M. Zachara, Steven Smith, James K. Fredrickson

United States Department of Energy: Publications

Laboratory experiments were conducted with suspensions of goethite (α-FeOOH) and a subsurface sediment to assess the influence of bacterial iron reduction on the fate of Co(II)EDTA^2-, a representative metal-ligand complex of intermediate stability (log K_Co(II)EDTA = 17.97). The goethite was synthetic (ca. 55 m²/g) and the sediment was a Pleistocene age, Fe(III) oxide-containing material from the Atlantic coastal plain (Milford). Shewanella alga strain BrY, a dissimilatory iron reducing bacterium (DIRB), was used to promote Fe(III) oxide reduction. Sorption isotherms and pH adsorption edges were measured for Co²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co(II)EDTA^2-, …

Tsc3p Is An 80-Amino Acid Protein Associated With Serine Palmitoyltransferase And Required For Optimal Enzyme Activity, Ken Gable, Harry Slife, Dagmar Bacikova, Erin Monaghan, Teresa M. Dunn

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

Serine palmitoyltransferase catalyzes the first step of sphingolipid synthesis, condensation of serine and palmitoyl CoA to form the long chain base 3-ketosphinganine. The LCB1/TSC2 and LCB2/TSC1 genes encode homologous proteins of the a-oxoamine synthase family required for serine palmitoyltransferase activity. The other a-oxoamine synthases are soluble homodimers, but serine palmitoyltransferase is a membrane-associated enzyme composed of at least two subunits, Lcb1p and Lcb2p. Here, we report the characterization of a third gene, TSC3, required for optimal 3-ketosphinganine synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae cells lacking the TSC3 gene have a temperature-sensitive lethal phenotype that is reversed by supplying …

Escherichia Coli O157:H7 In Beef Cattle Presented For Slaughter In The U.S.: Higher Prevalence Rates Than Previously Estimated, Lisa J. Gansheroff, Alison D. O'Brien

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

Before 1982, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had identified only one Escherichia coli isolate of the O157:H7 serotype; it had been isolated from a patient with bloody diarrhea. Then, in 1982, two outbreaks of severe bloody diarrhea occurred among people who had eaten hamburgers at a fast food chain. The CDC isolated E. coli O157:H7 from people who had become ill as well as from a hamburger patty. In 1983, Karmali et al. discovered an association between infection with E. coli that produce Shiga toxin (then called Vero toxin), including O157:H7 strains, and another severe and sometimes …

Acylation Stimulating Protein: A Potential Regulator Of Fat Synthesis, Jess L. Miner, Carin Ramsel, Sheila Jacobi

Nebraska Swine Reports

The long term goal of this project is to understand the molecular mechanisms controlling fat synthesis. These experiments indicate that acylation stimulating protein (ASP) can stimulate the incorporation of fatty acids into lipid in cultured adipose tissue. This finding justifies a future effort to determine if manipulation of ASP can modify fat deposition.

Bringing It Home: Extracultural Experiences In The Art Of Carolyn Price Dyer, Mary Lane

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

This quote from The Diary of Anais Nin, might well describe many artists' experience. The journey that solidifies creative impulses into aesthetic objects often involves experiences that lie outside the artist's own culture. These other lives and other states of perception act as catalysts, generating new forms in the liminal space which travelers' frequent. For Carolyn Price Dyer, the germane shifting cultural boundaries are those between the Western aesthetics of Modernism and the Bauhaus and the Eastern aesthetics of Asian art. Trained under the former, the latter Asian influences spring from graduate studies in Asian art history, work experience at …

From Upholstery To Installation: Educating Designers And Artists Using An Electronic Jacquard Loom, Deborah First

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

In the fall of 1998 students and faculty in the fibers department at Savannah College of Art and Design began to use their newly installed A VL electronic jacquard 100m (figure 1 ).

Since its arrival, students have explored the 100m's capabilities for designing and producing samples for the textile design industry as well as using it as a tool for art making.

Students preparing textile design portfolios study woven structure and its relationship to image-based digital design directly through their use of the 100m and the design software. Because they weave their designs independently of a technician, there is …
