Auto-regulating New Media
No full textUsing Foucault's (1977, 1978) notion of panoptic method of governmentality and looking at the case of Singapore's Internet policy, this paper attempts to expand on the idea-and ideals-of 'auto-regulation'(Lee, 2000, pp. 4-5; Lee & Birch, 2000). Auto-regulation, as I shall posit in this paper, provides a way for regulatory enforcement and surveillance to become sufficiently transparent and 'normalised' so that 'the exercise of power may be supervised by society as a whole'(Foucault, 1977, pp.207-208) rather than by a select group of policy and law enforcement officers, or civil society /activist groups

Nolan, Lee Considered - General Robert E. Lee And Civil War History
No full textRobert E. Lee holds almost as much fascination among today's population as he did among the generation that fought the Civil War. Except for Thomas L Connelly's 1977 critical book, The Marble Man, Lee has virtually escaped scholarly analysis and has remained on a pedestal of public worship that borders on the dogmatic. To reconsider these gilded assumptions, Alan T. Nolan, author of several combat histories on the Civil War, examines the wide variety of existing sources on six particular themes: Lee as opponent of slavery; devoted Virginian forced into the war; brilliant military strategist; magnanimous adversary; nobleman who maintained a sense of honor even in defeat; and promoter of post-war reconciliation
Theoretical Studies of Diiron(II) Complexes that Model Features of the Dioxygen-Activating Centers in Non-Heme Diiron Enzymes
No full textWe have applied high-level Density Functional Theory to investigate the properties of recently characterized carboxylate-bridged diiron(II) complexes supported by 2,6-di(p-tolyl)benzoate (A(Tol)CO(2)(-)) ligands. These compounds, prepared as synthetic models for the reduced non-heme diiron centers in the enzymes MMO, RNR-R2, and Delta9D, reproduce the composition of the first coordination sphere ligands as well as the core geometry. The experimentally observed flexibility of the diiron cores in the model compounds, a main design target, was confirmed computationally. Details of a possible interconversion mechanism that transforms quadruply and doubly carboxylate-bridged isomers of [Fe-2((ArCO2)-C-Tol)(4)L-2], L = pyridine or related ligand, were examined. The orientation of the pyridine ligands plays a major role and promotes an initial carboxylate shift of the bridging carboxylate ligand that is orthogonal to the pyridine ring plane. Alternative mechanisms were explored and evaluated. Structural features of the strongly coupled diiron centers could only be reproduced reliably by using the experimentally determined anti ferromagnetic spin-coupling properties of the high-spin d(6) iron(II) centers. Use of the ferromagnetic-coupling scheme gave rise to a poor correlation of the computed structure with the experiment. The broken-symmetry orbitals required to describe the antiferromagnetic coupling are compared to the MOs as classical symmetry-adapted linear combinations of atomic orbitals that form the basis for the magnetic coupling scheme. The molecular orbitals responsible for the dependence of the structural results on spin coupling were identified and used to evolve an intuitive explanation for the structural differences observed
Acute toxicity of all-trans-retinoic acid loaded poly(L-lactide)/poly(ethylene glycol)-poly (L-lactide) microspheres in mice
No full textPreviously, poly(L-lactide) microspheres containing retinoic acid (RA) had been prepared for parenteral administration in order to overcome "acute retinoic acid resistance." In this study, acute toxicities of RA-loaded microspheres were investigated in mice after the microspheres were injected intramuscularly. The maximum dose of RA in the microspheres was determined by considering both the injection volume and dispersion of microspheres in the vehicle media, and the close levels were determined to be 0, 90, 180, and 360 mg RA/kg. Mice were carefully observed for any clinical signs for 14 days, and gross observation of the organs was performed at 14 days. When a dose of 90 mg RA/kg was administered, no severe toxicities were observed; however, with the administration of 180 and 360 mg RA/kg, abnormal appearances of organs, such as discolor, atrophy, hemorrhage, etc., were observed. There were no mortalities or bone fractures observed at any of the doses, In our previous study of cancer treatment using the RA-loaded microspheres, the growth of herd and neck carcinoma in athymic nude mice was successfully inhibited at the dose of 100 mg RA/kg. It was concluded that a dose of approximately 90 mg RA/kg of the RA-loaded microspheres would be most desirable for cancer therapy. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Actinotalea caeni sp. nov., isolated from a sludge sample of a biofilm reactor
No full textA polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out on strain EBR-4-2T isolated from a biofilm reactor in Korea. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed the clear affiliation of this strain to the Actinobacteria, and it had the highest pairwise sequence similarities with Actinotalea suaedae EGI 60002T (98.7%), Actinotalea ferrariae CF5-4T (96.3%) and Actinotalea fermentans DSM 3133T (96.2%). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain formed a clear phylogenetic lineage with the genus Actinotalea. The major fatty acids were identified as C15: 0 anteiso, C16: 0, C16: 0 N alcohol, C15: 1 anteiso A and C15: 0 iso. The major cellular polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphatidylinositol and glycolipid. The peptidoglycan type was A4β containing L-Orn？D-Glu. The whole-cell-wall sugars were glucose and ribose. The respiratory quinone was identified as menaquinone MK-10(H4), and the genomic DNA G+C content was determined to be 74.8 mol %. Based on evidence from this polyphasic study, it is proposed that strain EBR-4？2T should be designated as representing a novel species named Actinotalea caeni sp. nov. The type stain is EBR-4-2T (=KCTC 33604T=JCM 30447T).
