The Application Of Hypoxanthine Activity As A Quality Indicator Of Cold Stored Fish Burgers, Sühendan Mol, Nuray Erkan, Candan Varlik Jan 2002

The Application Of Hypoxanthine Activity As A Quality Indicator Of Cold Stored Fish Burgers, Sühendan Mol, Nuray Erkan, Candan Varlik

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Seafoods are very perishable, and many different methods are used for the determination of their quality. Sensory and hypoxanthine values of cold stored trout burgers, which we prepared, were determined during a 28-day period. Burgers spoiled after the 21st day of storage. The TVB-N values were still very low when the burgers spoiled and the pH values decreased during their storage. Therefore total volatile bases nitrogen and pH analyses were not useful for the determination of the quality of trout burgers. There was a negative correlation between the sensory and the hypoxanthine values during the storage period. Thus, hypoxanthine analysis …

A Word-And-Flesh Profession: A Response To White And Brueggemann, Marie Failinger Jan 2002

A Word-And-Flesh Profession: A Response To White And Brueggemann, Marie Failinger

Faculty Scholarship

Speech remakes the world through a relationship among words, speaker, and hearer. On one hand, this view of the human encounter as essentially rhetorical precludes an understanding of speech as purely subjectivist or emotivist self-expression. On the other hand, this same view of human speech interaction precludes the understanding of speech acts as mere descriptions of previously discovered or reasoned truth, either empirical or abstract. Professor White reaffirms this triad among words, speaker, and hearer with what he has identified as the “deeply reciprocal” dynamic of language. Professor Brueggemann also describes the speech acts between Moses, Abraham, and their God …

Satellite Tracking And The Right To Privacy, Aaron Renenger Jan 2002

Satellite Tracking And The Right To Privacy, Aaron Renenger

UC Law Journal

The proliferation of location services brought on by technology like the Global Positioning System promises to bring new convenience to our lives. But this new technology also brings with it an all-toofamiliar problem-how to ensure personal privacy. Some consumer advocates have referred to the technology as "digital dog tags" and warned that location information will be sold to third parties such as aggressive advertisers or employers. This Note concludes that the torts that currently protect privacy offer very little protection to consumers whose location information is misused by third parties. Further, recent legislation passed to protect the privacy of consumer …

Is There A Constitutional Right To Clone, Cass R. Sunstein Jan 2002

Is There A Constitutional Right To Clone, Cass R. Sunstein

UC Law Journal

Recent scientific innovations, and proposed legislation have raised - questions about the nature of the constitutional right to reproductive freedom, and in particular about whether there is a constitutional "right to clone." This Essay urges that as a matter of substantive due process, rationality review is probably appropriate, and that restrictions on both reproductive and therapeutic cloning would and should survive constitutional scrutiny. At the same time, many of the arguments for banning both forms of cloning are based on ignorance, myths, and speculation. It is extremely important to distinguish between reproductive and nonreproductive cloning, and it is equally important …
