Earth Day

Earth Day 1994

METHODS in somatic cell hybridization, introduced by Kohler & Milstein (1975), have made it possible to produce monoclonal antibodies in tissue culture. Whilst the method has proved entirely successful for the production of antibodies against particulate antigens such as those on the cell surface (Trucco et al., 1978) and viruses (Koprowski et al., 1977), it has only recently been successfully ...

Earth Day Environmental Careers Symposium

Information on exposure and reaction to sunlight, together with the history tf exposure to fluorescent lighting, was elicited by postal questionnaire. Case-control analyses from 58 patients with malignant melanoma, 182 matched controls and 151 unmatched controls showed associations between malignant melanoma and (i) bouts of painful sunburn, (ii) reaction of untanned skin to sunlight, and (iii)...

Diffractive-Like (or Parametric-Resonance-Like?) Enhancement of the Earth (Day-Night) Effect for Solar Neutrinos Crossing the Earth Core

It is shown that the strong enhancement of the Earth (day-night) effect for solar neutrinos crossing the Earth core in the case of the small mixing angle MSW νe → νμ(τ) transition solution of the solar neutrino problem is due to a new resonance effect in the solar neutrino transitions in the Earth and not just to the MSW effect in the core. The effect is in many respects similar to the electron...

The Last Day on Earth: Encoding and Decoding of Resistant Ideology in Music Video

According to Stuart Hall’s theory of encoding and decoding, an audience member, based on their individual ideological perspectives, can read media texts in one of three ways: dominant, negotiated, or resistant. Hall’s theory, however, also implies that the producer will always encode a dominant or hegemonic message. Given semantically messy texts like music videos, however, producers now have t...
