New Practices. Emerging practices in European landscape architecture
No full textOn the Move is the fourth volume of the Landscape Architecture Europe (LAE) series that presents and discusses contemporary European landscape architectural projects. It presents projects that were gathered in response to a democratic call for entries, selected by a rigorous and independent jury of European landscape architects and shaped for publication through broadminded editing. As a result, the book showcases the ‘state of the art’ and raises awareness about what and how landscape architecture can contribute to society; it consists of a selection of 45 projects, complemented by essays, an introduction and an epilogue. The book is structured into three main themes. The first theme considers landscape architecture as based on working with processes and practices, leading to a different understanding of design: as transformation of that which already exists on a site. The second chapter heavy heritage considers the physical legacy of European heavy industry. The third chapter addresses the theme of curation. To counteract absent public funds and inherited functionalist planning practices, Europe is currently experiencing a trend towards the creation of spaces from the bottom up, imagined and built by amateurs instead of by professionals. This has implications for designers. Instead of retreating to the margins of society, some landscape architects are abandoning their identity as dominant creators and reinventing themselves as co-creators, especially for public and community spaces. My essay deals with this third topic, titled "New practices. Emerging practices in European landscape architecture". The phenomenon of usergenerated content is everywhere in daily life. The word ‘prosumer’, a contraction of professional and consumer originally coined by Alvin Toffler has become a buzzword, describing a broad spectrum of economic, political and cultural activities that transcend the duality of production and consumption. These developments, while apparently not immediately relevant, all have a bearing on landscape architecture. In fact, the signs of widespread and energetic claims on projects by landscape prosumers, people without specific training or professional competence, are so clear that I suggest we can use the term user-generated landscape architecture to refer to open spaces realized through do-it-yourself initiatives or co-design practice. Several innovative projects are challenging the traditional roles of participants and creators: people work themselves to make improvements to their everyday landscapes, taking places into their own hands, informally and spontaneously, whether as the need arises or simply because they are inspired to do so, while professional firms work out unsolicited projects, where there is no client. This is a new project paradigm, leaving the field open to unpredictability, vagueness and spontaneity. Open-endedness and uncertainty have always been qualities inherent to landscape architecture. The novelty is that usergenerated landscape architecture dilutes the boundaries between the different skills involved by an intentional relinquishing of authorial control and questioning the designer’s role, tasks and competence

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Survival of Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes and indicator bacteria on cooked uncured turkey loaf stored under vacuum at 3°C
No full textSterile slices of cooked uncured turkey loaf were inoculated with 106 CFU of either Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Enterobacter cloacae. Inoculated samples were vacuum‐packaged and stored at 3 ± 1°C. Microorganisms were enumerated at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days on nonselective media. K. pneumoniae exhibited the least cold‐tolerance with a log10 1.70 decrease in numbers. The coliforms E. cloacae, E. coli, and C. freundii had a survival pattern similar to that of S. typhimurium, with population decreases of log10 0.65, 0.82, 1.13, and 0.79, respectively. E. faecalis and L. monocytogenes were significantly more cold‐resistant, with a decrease of log10 0.20 and no significant change in numbers, respectively. Survival of E. faecalis was not significantly (p < 0.01) different than that of L. monocytogenes, suggesting the use of enterococci as indicators of L. monocytogenes contamination of processed meats.Peer reviewedfinal article publishe
New precious metal compounds in cancer therapy
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 139-160).Cisplatin is one of the most effective cancer medications currently available. However, it is seriously limited by patient toxicity and drug resistance. As such, there is a real need for altemative treatments. Some compounds of gold(l) have been found to be biologically active in various contexts, including in killing cancer cells. The metal centres gold(lIl) and rhodium(lI) are isoelectronic to the platinum(ll) centre in cisplatin, and some of their compounds have been shown to have biological activity. The aims of this work were to prepare pyridinecontaining complexes of the three metal centres gold(I), gold(llI) and rhodium(I), and assess these complexes for in vitro anti-cancer activity. Phenyl pyridine and ferrocenylpyridine complexation was achieved with all three metal centres described above. With gold(I), either a chloride or pentafluorophenyl counter-anion was used. The rhodium(l) complexes contained 1,5-cyclooctadiene moieties linked to the metal centre via diene complexation, and a chloride counter-anion. Phenylpyridine complexes of gold(lIl) were achieved via standard reaction with tetrachloroaurate anion. However, the analogous ferrocenylpyridine complexes display unusually low stability and other unexpected physical properties, and are believed to be highly novel chlorobridged gold dimers. The 4-phenylpyridine complex of rhodium(l) was initially found to be active against cancer cells in vitro. It was, however, demonstrated that this activity was actually due to the breakdown product of this compound in DMSO. It was found that this breakdown product interacts with DNA, implying a similar mechanism of action to cisplatin. This is supported by the fact that a cisplatin-resistant cell line displays hjgh cross-resistance against this product. (4-Phenylpyridine)gold(l) (pentafluorophenyl) was also found to be extremely active against cell lines in vitr
