Tuna pole and line (live bait) fishing technique of Lakshadweep - some suggestions for improvement

Adding tome essential details to the existing scientific exposition of the Tuns Pole and Line (TPL) fishing technique with live bait of Lakshadweep, the present paper deals largely on a comparative study of this technique with the TPL technique operallng In Japanese, Californian and Polynesian waters, Based on this comparative study soma suggestions are given for Improving the craft, gear and gear-making with regard to the TPL fishing technique of Lal^shadweep. Besides the need for having better objectives of mechanisation improvements in : Size and cruising range of fishing hosts; general feature of the fishing boats; types of engines used; live-bait equipment used; onboard facilities for the operation of the fishing gear; fish preservation and handling equipment onboard; facilities for crew accommodation onboard; navigation, comnnunication and fish finding equipments onboard; combination fishing boats; alternative fishing boat; ancillary ships; materials used for construction of boats and also Improvement In patrol and transport work undertaken by the fishing boats are suggested. Also, the need for introducing the team-gear, bait-hook, lure-hook and striker and for improving the mode of angling, chumming and water splashing is stressed. The urgent need for modernising the TPL gear making Industry by indigenously making TPL hooks, lurehooks, bait hooks and strikers; by supplying FRP Poles and quality bamboo Poles and the other fishery requisites at subsidy and by introducing quarantine and quality control measures to maintain the quality of bamboo Pole* Is stressed

Form v. Substance: The Supreme Court Retreats Into Its Formalistic Shell in Oklahoma Tax Commission v. Jefferson Lines

The Constitution expressly authorizes Congress to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States. However, it says nothing about the protection of interstate commerce absent any affirmative action by Congress. The Supreme Court has consistently recognized implicit in the language of the Commerce Clause a further, negative command, known as the dormant Commerce Clause, prohibiting certain state taxation even when Congress has failed to legislate on the subject. In finding that states may constitutionally tax the local portion of interstate business transactions, the Court has held that [it was not the purpose of the Commerce Clause to relieve those engaged in interstate commerce from their just share of state tax burden even though it increases the cost of doing business. \u27 This concept is known as apportionment

Disability policy and practice at the University of Saskatchewan

Students with disabilities have to overcome many barriers when attaining post-secondary education. This thesis investigates how programs and policies affect students with disabilities. Using a survey-based research method, the project explores the gap that exists between disability policy and programs at the University of Saskatchewan as perceived students. Discussions with disability service providers also informed the study. A communication disconnect between faculty, service providers, and students was found to be one of the key reasons why the gap between program and policies is increasing as opposed to decreasing. Rather than being reliant on the medical model of disability and integrated approach, which includes more social conceptions of disability, related to delivery of programs should be advocated. Reflection on the current literature related to disability and the findings of this thesis lead to a construction of a model. This model advocates the inclusion of disability studies as an integral part of university curriculum using and interdisciplinary approach. The expanded role of disability studies can have a positive influence on university culture, and improve understandings of disability on university campuses, as well as in the broader social context

Measuring ligand efficacy at the mu-opioid receptor using a conformational biosensor.

The intrinsic efficacy of orthosteric ligands acting at G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) reflects their ability to stabilize active receptor states (R*) and is a major determinant of their physiological effects. Here, we present a direct way to quantify the efficacy of ligands by measuring the binding of a R*-specific biosensor to purified receptor employing interferometry. As an example, we use the mu-opioid receptor (µ-OR), a prototypic class A GPCR, and its active state sensor, nanobody-39 (Nb39). We demonstrate that ligands vary in their ability to recruit Nb39 to µ-OR and describe methadone, loperamide, and PZM21 as ligands that support unique R* conformation(s) of µ-OR. We further show that positive allosteric modulators of µ-OR promote formation of R* in addition to enhancing promotion by orthosteric agonists. Finally, we demonstrate that the technique can be utilized with heterotrimeric G protein. The method is cell-free, signal transduction-independent and is generally applicable to GPCRs
