Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas
No full textNewing, A., Clarke, G.P. and Clarke, M. 2014. Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas. Tourism Economics, 20(2), pp.407-427This paper uses data from a major loyalty card scheme to draw insights about the characteristics of grocery expenditure by tourists. The authors explore the volume, value and composition of store based visitor expenditure using consumer data from the loyalty card scheme. They focus on grocery spending at selected stores in Cornwall, a popular tourist destination in South West England. Theloyalty card data provide a valuable source rarely available for academic investigations. The authors are able to analyse visitor spend by socio-economic and geodemographic characteristics, drawing a range of comparisons with residential demand from within the store catchment areas. They demonstrate that visitor grocery expenditure is complex and varies by store, destination and type of customer. The paper presents evidence to suggest that the current approaches used to estimate sales uplift and local-level economic impact from visitor demand are unable to account for the complexities of this form of expenditure. Based on these insights, the authors recommend that sophisticated modelling is employed to estimate the impact of visitor expenditure

Letter, Peleg Clarke Jr. to Montgomery C. Meigs, November 3, 1865
No full textThis handwritten letter, dated November 3, 1865, is written from Peleg Clarke Jr. to Montgomery C. Meigs in which Clarke disputes the U. S. Government\u27s evidence that claims that Clarke had a contract with the Rebels and are thus denying Clarke\u27s claims for payment of lumber and corn received by the U. S. Army. Clarke goes on to ask for an opportunity to clear up the matter.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-manuscripts-clarke/1052/thumbnail.jp

The incidence of Cyclospora cayetanensis in stool samples submitted to a district general hospital
No full textCyclospora cayetanensis is the cause of a prolonged diarrhoeal syndrome. In the UK most cases are seen in travellers who have returned from countries in which the organism is endemic. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the incidence of C. cayetanensis in stool samples submitted to a district general hospital. A total of 6151 stools from 5374 different patients were screened for the presence of C. cayetanensis over a 1-year period using the modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique. Oocysts of C. cayetanensis were found in 7 stools (0.1%) from 4 patients (0.07%). All four patients were adult travellers who had visited countries in which C. cayetanensis is known to be endemic. In the population of this study, C. cayetanensis was found to be a rare cause of diarrhoea. Although C. cayetanensis infection should be considered in individuals of all ages who have lived in, or have travelled to endemic areas, there is no need to screen stool samples for the organism in those without such a travel history.</p
Odontocroton monnei Clarke 2018, n. comb.

Based on Zajciw (1968) original description and a photograph of the holotype available on Bezark (2017). Specimen examined. URUGUAY, Soriano, Arroyo Cololo, female holotype, 15.I.1962, C. S. Carbonelli, C. S. Morey and M. A. Monné leg. (MNRJ) Comment. Described from a single female from Uruguay. Zajciw (1968) stated that this species “is very like O. apicalis ”, and on that basis is placed by the author in Group B (i). However, its proportions (small, rather short body, quadrate prothorax, etc) suggest it might be better placed in its own genus, a proposal which will have to await the examination of a male and its genitalia. Distribution. This species is only known from the type specimen.Published as part of Clarke, Robin O.

Nucleotide sequence analysis of the sialyltransferase genes of meningococcal serogroups B, C, Y and W135
No full textA rapid method for serogrouping meningococci is essential for the characterization of phenotypically non-groupable meningococcal isolates and clinical samples, particularly for public health management purposes. The Scottish Meningococcus and Pneumococcus Reference Laboratory (SMPRL) provides serogrouping results of meningococcal isolates and clinical samples using a PCR assay which detects restriction fragment length polymorphisms in meningococcal serogroups B, C, Y and W135. Although this PCR system was invaluable when first introduced, it has several drawbacks and lacks the required sensitivity for detecting DNA in clinical samples. Due to the recent introduction of the meningococcal group C conjugate vaccine and an impending group B vaccine, a more robust and informative method for serogroup determination is required. A protocol was devised allowing PCR amplification of the siaD gene of serogroup B, C, Y and W135 meningococci. This system was multiplexed and allowed serogroup differentiation between serogroups B and C and also between B/C and Y/W135 by product size analysis. A nested stage was incorporated into the system for enhanced detection of meningococci in clinical samples, and finally a sequencing protocol was designed allowing detection of any nucleotide changes within the siaD gene. This system allows rapid serogrouping results for use within an agarose gel system as well as more informative results when used for sequencing within the siaD gene.</p

Army.Mr Clarke died on February the 13th of 1920, it is believed because of complications with injuries sustained in the war. This picture can be found in The Massasoit of 1920 (p.54) with a caption that reads "In Death a Hero As in Life a Friend".A handwritten caption in the back of the photograph reads "Robert C.
