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
Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli—an emerging problem?
No full textDiarrhea remains one of the main sources of morbidity and morbidity in today's world and a large proportion is caused by diarrheagenic Escherichia coli. They are a particular problem in developed countries although traveler's diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis are also a problem in developed countries. There are seven classes of diarrheagenic E. coli, namely enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC), diarrhea-associated hemolytic E. coli (DHEC) and cytolethal distending toxin (CDT)- producing E. coli. Many of their virulence determinants have been determined and some classes of diarrheagenic E. coli produce toxins. The virulence factors of some diarrhogenic E. coli have yet to be full determined and in the meantime they remain a large and emerging problem without the availability of effective vaccines.</p

Nucleotide sequence‐based typing of bacteria and the impact of automation
No full textDNA-based typing methods are increasingly important for the characterisation of bacteria. They are used to monitor the epidemiology of pathogens with public health significance and also to help understand the evolution and population biology of bacteria. However, these methods require accuracy and reproducibility and are often of a high-throughput nature. Laboratory automation is therefore the key to the successful implementation of such methods. This review describes the impact of automation on DNA-based typing methods, particularly multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), and the method components that can be automated.</p
Jesse Stuart: Essays on His Work
No full textJ. R. LeMaster and Mary Washington Clarke have here assembled a distinguished collection of essays on the works of Jesse Stuart. A prolific writer, Stuart is at home in many different genres; his poetry, his short stories, his novels, and his autobiographical writings are widely known, and his books for children have enjoyed great popularity. Despite the variety of his work and despite the diversity of the ten essayists\u27 points of view, there emerges from this volume a consistent view of a man whose close contact with the land and the people of his region has produced a distinctive body of writing.
H. Edward Richardson offers us a glimpse of Jesse Stuart at home, freely and earnestly discussing his work and relating it to the scenes about him. This essay forms a background for the other contributors\u27 discussions of Stuart\u27s humor, his use of folklore, and his persistent agrarian point of view. This, the first collection of all new critical essays on Stuart\u27s writings, succeeds admirably in what criticism is supposed to do-making more accessible the important work of a significant writer.
J. R. LeMaster is director of the American Studies Program at Baylor University, Waco, Texas.
Mary Washington Clarke is emeritus professor of English and folklore, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_english_language_and_literature_north_america/1025/thumbnail.jp
Control of pneumococcal disease in the United Kingdom – the start of a new era
No full textIn 2000, a multi-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, known as Prevnar, was licensed for use ininfants and young children in the USA. The subsequent introduction of the vaccine into thechildhood immunization schedule in that country led to a significant decrease in pneumococcaldisease. The vaccine is effective against invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal infection, can beused in young children as well as adults and, like all conjugate vaccines, provides long-lastingimmunity. Moreover, it reduces the incidence of antibiotic resistance because a number ofresistant serotypes are targeted by the vaccine. Prevnar, also known as Prevenar, has since beenlicensed in numerous countries, including the UK.On 8 February 2006, the Departments of Health inEngland, Scotland and Wales announced the inclusion of Prevenar in the childhood immunizationschedule. This announcement has important implications for pneumococcal infection, diseasesurveillance and immunization policy in the UK
Pyrosequencing: nucleotide sequencing technology with bacterial genotyping applications
No full textPyrosequencing is a relatively new method for real-time nucleotide sequencing. It has rapidly found applications in DNA sequencing, genotyping, single nucleotide polymorphism analysis, allele quantification and whole-genome sequencing within the areas of microbiology, clinical genetics and pharmacogenetics. It is fast becoming a real alternative to the traditional Sanger sequencing method although, at present, read lengths are normally limited to approximately 70 nucleotides. The pyrosequencing method involves four main stages: first, target DNA is amplified using PCR; second, double-stranded DNA is converted to single-stranded DNA templates; third, oligonucleotide primers are hybridized to a complementary sequence of interest; and, finally, the pyrosequencing reaction itself, in which a reaction mixture of enzymes and substrates catalyses the synthesis of complementary nucleotides. Data are shown as a collection of signal peaks in a pyrogram. Pyrosequencing is increasingly used for bacterial detection, identification and typing, and, recently, a commercial system became available for the identification of bacterial isolates. Pyrosequencing can also be partially or fully automated, thus enabling the high-throughput analysis of samples. Wider use of pyrosequencing may occur in the future if longer nucleotide reads are made possible, which will enable its expansion into larger nucleotide sequencing such as multilocus sequence typing and whole-genome sequencing.</p
