As a departure from traditional situational perspectives, researchers have given increased attention to the dispositional basis of attitudes. Recently, Hepler and Albarracín (2013) introduced a construct that they called "dispositional attitude" and provided validity evidence for a new scale--the Dispositional Attitude Measure (DAM). Although the DAM was introduced as a "new" approach for asses...

Salmonella isolates that lack or overproduce DNA adenine methylase (Dam) elicited a cross-protective immune response to different Salmonella serovars. The protection afforded by the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium Dam vaccine was greater than that elicited in mice that survived a virulent infection. S. enterica serovar Typhimurium Dam mutant strains exhibited enhanced sensitivity to med...

Eight preparations of soluble amyloid and degraded amyloid (DAM) were compared immunologically. Unlike amyloid fibrils, six of eight preparations of DAM proved to be relatively strong immunogens. Antisera to DAM reacted weakly or not at all with normal human serum or extracts of normal tissues, but were specifically reactive with amyloid fibrils or DAM. Comparative studies of DAM'S from eight d...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most frequently encountered infections in clinical practice globally. Predominantly a burden among female adults and infants, UTIs primarily caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) results in high morbidity and fiscal health strains. During pathogenesis, colonization of the urinary tract via fimbrial adhesion to mucosal cells is the most crit...

Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) is a noxious perennial weed that produces underground adventitious buds, which are crucial for generating new vegetative shoots following periods of freezing temperatures or exposure to various control measures. It is also capable of flowering and producing seeds, but requires vernalization in some cases. DORMANCY ASSOCIATED MADS-BOX (DAM) genes have been propo...

It has been shown that certain symptoms in chicks, namely, exudative diathesis, yellow coloration of the adipose tissue, and encephalomalacia, and in rats, namely, yellowbrown coloration of the adipose tissue, and depigmentation of the incisors, depend upon the consumption of vitamin E-deficient diets rich in highly unsaturated fatty acids (Dam, 1944a, b ; Dam & Granados, 1945a, b ; Granados & ...

Introduction: Obesity worldwide is considered as the single largest cause of chronic illness. The children thepresent generation are only people throughout history who die because problems with overweight beforetheir parents. Obese prone to fatty liver disease. Fatty one disorders thatis associated lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. aim this study was estimate prevalence fattyliver and obese Il...

The molecular basis for the inviability of dam-3 recA200(Ts) and dam-3 recB270(Ts) cells was studied. The dam-3 recA200(Ts) cells were inviable in yeast extract-nutrient broth or in minimal medium at 42 degrees C. Although the dam-3 recB270(Ts) cells were inviable in yeast extract-nutrient broth at 42 degrees C, they were viable at 42 degrees C in minimal medium, in which the high salt content ...

Clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae resistant to a broad range of 2-deoxystreptamine aminoglycosides (2-DAM) were studied. The gene responsible for resistance could be mobilized by transformation into a 2-DAM susceptible laboratory strain of H. influenzae, enabling isogenic comparisons. The transformants had the same resistance phenotype as the parental strains. There was close linkage ...
