No full textPostcard from Mrs. D.L. Cooke to Sam Tanaka in the Jerome incarceration camp including a greeting and update from Cooke.The Japanese American Archival Collection documents the people, places, and daily life of Japanese Americans, primarily those who lived in the once thriving community of pre-war Florin in the Sacramento region, as well as the conditions in American incarceration camps during World War II. The approximately 7,000 original items include personal and official letters, photographs, diaries, arts and crafts, newsletters, textiles, camps artifacts, yearbooks and other publications

The transducin cascade is involved in the light-induced structural changes observed by neutron diffraction on retinal rod outer segments
No full textTime-resolved neutron diffraction on retinal rod outer segments are performed to reinvestigate the origin of the light-induced structural change observed by Saibil et al. (Saibil, H., M. Chabre, and D. L. Worcester, 1976, Nature (Lond.), 262:266–270). Photoactivating rhodopsin triggers in rods a cascade of GTP-dependent and transducin-mediated reactions controlling cyclic-GMP hydrolysis. Infrared light-scattering studies (Kühn, H., N. Bennett, M. Michel-Villaz, and M. Chabre, 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 78:6873–6877; Vuong, T. M., M. Chabre, and L. Stryer, 1984, Nature (Lond.), 311:659–661) demonstrated the existence of structural changes that correspond to this cascade rather than to rhodopsin photoactivation. We thus look for neutron diffraction changes of similar origins. With 1-min time resolution, intensity changes are observed mainly for orders 2 and 4. The illumination and GTP dependence of these changes indicates an involvement of transducin. Without GTP, they are linear with the amount of photoexcited rhodopsin, saturate at 10% photolysis, and thus correlate well with the light-scattering "binding signal." With GTP, light sensitivity is higher and saturation occurs below 0.5% photolysis, as for the "dissociation signal" of light scattering. In both cases, lattice compressions of 0.2–0.3% are observed. With 4-s time resolution the intensity change with GTP present precedes the lattice compression. The fast intensity change is probably due to the displacement of transducin alpha-subunits away from the disc membrane and the slower lattice shrinkage to an osmotic readjustment of the rod
Cross-Cultural Meta-Analyses
No full textIn the enormous collection of cross-cultural data that have been published during the last few decades it is difficult to perceive patterns. There is a clear need for systematizing the vast amount of cross-cultural studies and for developing models that explain cross-cultural differences in psychology. Two methods of cross-cultural meta-analysis can be distinguished. First, the instrument-based method of comparing data for one instrument across countries is suitable for instruments which have been administered in many countries. Second, a domain-based meta-analysis used a thematic domain from which culture-comparative studies are sampled instead of one specific instrument or method
La durata della somministrazione a termine
No full textIl saggio esamina le innovazioni introdotte nella somministrazione a tempo determinato dal d.l. n. 34/2014, conv. l. 78/2014.
Si rileva come la nuova legge, accomuna contratto di lavoro a termine e contratto di somministrazione a tempo determinato e si evidenziano le incertezze della nuova normativa determinate dalla commistione tra disciplina di somministrazione a termine e disciplina di contratto a termine.The essay examines the innovations introduced in the fixed term labour-only subcontracting by d.l. n. 34/2014, conv. l. 78/2014.
The Author remarks that the Act, unites fixed term employment contract and fixed term subcontracting.
The uncertainties of the new regulation determined by the blending of the regulation of fixed term employment contract and fixed term subcontracting are also highlighted
A large-scale biomass bulk terminal
No full textThis research explores the possibility of a large-scale bulk terminal in West Europe dedicated to handle solid and liquid biomass materials. Various issues regarding the conceptual design of such a terminal have been investigated and demonstrated in this research: the potential biomass materials that will be the major international trade flows in the future, the characteristics of these potential biomass materials, the interaction between the material properties and terminal equipment, the perspective from terminal logistic process, and the terminal configuration. To this day no such a terminal exists yet. Therefore, the results from this research are a first step that will help the future development of such a terminal.Marine and Transport TechnologyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
