Risk and Value Judgments: A Case Study of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act

Mr. Hilton attempts to show why important choices presented in current proposals to amend child-resistant packaging regulations are fundamentally normative. He then argues that these choices should not be obscured by the technical issues

A Feasibility Study on the Inception of a Nine-Hole, Par Three Golf Course at Eastern Illinois University

This study was designed to determine the feasibility of installing a nine-hole, par three golf course at Eastern Illinois University. An analysis of selected feasibility factors included a population and age distribution survey for Charleston and Coles County; a topographical survey of the proposed new golf course site; an inventory of existing area golf courses; and, a demand analysis to ascertain the need for a new golf course. Census figures were used to estimate population and age distribution trends in Charleston and Coles County. The topographical survey was comprised mainly of a soil sample analysis of the proposed site. Selected soil samples extracted from the site were taken to the Crop Chemical Testing Service in Arcola, Illinois for an analysis. A total of 186 subjects participated in the demand survey including sixty-three faculty members and sixty-seven students from Eastern Illinois University, and fifty-six subjects who represented the community of Charleston. Each subject was given a sixteen question, objective-type questionnaire. Responses were tabulated for each question and were measured in terms of frequency distribution. Percentages were calculated for each given response to observe which response category was most preferred. Also, an one-way analysis of variance determined any significant differences among the three subject groups in their responses. The results indicated that Charleston increased its population by 83.2 percent over the past twenty years. However , only 11.75 percent of this increase was assigned for the years 1970 to 1980. Young people, aged eighteen to twenty-four, comprised the largest percentage of the population of Charleston. Although four golf courses were found to exist in Coles County, no nine-hole, par three golf courses were available. A soil analysis of the proposed site proved conclusively that a soil rehabilitation program was necessary to increase the levels of potassium and phosphorus. The demand analysis demonstrated a desire for a new nine-hole, par three golf course at Eastern Illinois University. Paradoxically, the subjects indicated only a minimal degree of estimated use for the proposed course. It was concluded that the existing golf course at Eastern Illinois University was inadequate and that a new golf course was needed. User\u27s fees was regarded as the most preferred method of funding the new golf course

PERMANGANATE FIXATION OF THE GOLGI COMPLEX AND OTHER CYTOPLASMIC STRUCTURES OF MAMMALIAN TESTES

Observations on the fine structure of KMnO4-fixed testes of small mammals (guinea pig, rat, and mouse) reveal certain morphological differences between the spermatogenic and Sertoli cells which have not been demonstrated in the same tissue fixed with OsO4. Aggregates of minute circular profiles, much smaller than the spherical Golgi vesicles, are described in close association with the Golgi complex of developing spermatids. Groups of dense flattened vesicles, individually surrounded by a membrane of different dimensions than that which bounds most of the other cell organelles, appear dispersed within the cytoplasm of some spermatogenic cells. Flattened vesicles of greater density than those belonging to the Golgi complex are reported confined to the inner Golgi zone of developing guinea pig spermatids between the Golgi cisternae and the head cap. The profiles of endoplasmic reticulum within spermatocytes appear shorter, wider, and more tortuous than those of Sertoli cells. Minute cytoplasmic particles approximately 300 A in diameter and of high electron opacity appear randomly disposed in some Sertoli cells. Groups of irregular-shaped ovoid bodies within the developing spermatids are described as resembling portions of cytoplasm from closely adjacent spermatids. Interpretation is presented regarding the fine structure of KMnO4-fixed testes in view of what has already been reported for mammalian testes fixed in OsO4

Sex Ratio Assessment Of Endangered Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle Foraging Populations: Validation Of A Testosterone ELISA For Juvenile Sex Determination

Currently all species of sea turtles are listed as threatened or endangered with extinction under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. In order to effectively construct management approaches we need as much information on various sea turtle populations as possible including demography, genetic origin, and critical habitat. One demographic piece of data that is lacking is the sex ratio of turtle populations in foraging habitats, as this information is integral in determining overall population abundance. Because secondary sex characteristics (i.e. males have longer tails) are not evident until turtles start to reach sexual maturity, the sex of juvenile turtles cannot be easily determined externally. The least invasive way to determine the sex of juvenile turtles is through hormone analysis (testosterone) of the blood plasma. There are several methods for determining hormone concentration in turtle plasma; we used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), which are the most cost effective and user friendly technique available. The testosterone ELISA has recently been validated for use with green sea turtle Chelonia mydas plasma but has yet to be validated for the other sea turtle species. My project focused on the endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle Lepidochelys kempii that is only found in the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic seaboard. We validated the ELISA testosterone technique through demonstrating ‘parallelism’ to prove that the assay is measuring the same antigen (i.e. testosterone) in the plasma extracts and the standard controls (provided in the testosterone assay kit). We then determined the sex of approximately 140 juvenile turtles
