Technical note: direct enzyme immunoassay of progesterone in bovine milk whey
No full textA simple extraction-free or direct quantitative ELISA
for progesterone in bovine milk whey was developed.
Whey samples are easy to collect, transport, and store.
This method also allows for monitoring progesterone
levels in cattle, which is important in reproductive management.
The assay was designed to cover the concentration
range 0.05 to 2 ng/mL, and the sensitivity of
the method was 1.5 pg/mL. The intra- and interassay
coefficients of variation were 8 and 12%, respectively.
A high correlation (r = 0.90) between ELISA and radioimmunoassay
measurements of progesterone in the
same milk whey samples was obtained. The method
can be easily applied in practice because samples can
be stored at room temperature (22 to 26ーC) for 4 d.
Moreover, because analysis requires milk coagulation,
that process can be initiated during transport by standard
mail services to the laboratory. Upon arrival at
the laboratory, whey can be kept refrigerated for 1 wk
before analysis. This tool is useful for monitoring luteal
activity of dairy cows
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
