There has been a growing awareness of the need to implement environmentally friendly operations in the hotel industry, but most studies focus on guest behaviors. Only a few studies investigate employees’ willingness to comply with hotels’ green practices. This study seeks to further the investigation from the human resource perspective. Using alumni from a tourism and hospitality programs, this...

Red tide blooms formed by Karenia brevis are frequent along the Gulf coast of Florida and it is unclear what tolerance the green mussel Perna viridis, a recently introduced species to coastal waters, has toward these events. Established populations of P. viridis were monitored along the coastal waters of Estero Bay, Florida before, during and following two consecutive red tide blooms to assess ...

The paper presented here addresses the issue of how far current evidence permits the admittance of ritual murder or human sacrifice in the European Iron Age. It argues from two basic premises: firstly that the notion of human sacrifice is the more acceptable within the context of strictly hierarchical, slave-owning societies for whom human life was not, of itself, sacrosanct; secondly that, sin...

Physical properties of gravitational instantons which are derivable from minimal surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space are examined using the Newman-Penrose formalism for Euclidean signature. The gravitational instanton that corresponds to the helicoid minimal surface is investigated in detail. This is a metric of Bianchi Type V II0, or E(2) which admits a hidden symmetry due to the existen...

L'hypopion inverse se voit parfois après une vitrectomie postérieure avec tamponnement par de l'huile de silicone, quand l'huile s'émulsifie, il passe dans la chambre antérieure et s'installe au sommet de la chambre antérieure. Comparer à l'hypopion où les leucocytes se précipitent au fond de la chambre antérieure ; et ceci est dû à l'effet de gravité, d'où le nom d'hypopion inverse. Le traitem...

Ashford (1917) noted a faint greenish color in some of the colonies of cultures of Monilia albicars. No other reference to a green pigmentation of Monilia has been found in the literature. Of the 6 species of Monilia described by Martin, Jones, Yao and Lee (1937) and Jones and Martin (1938) it was noticed that Candida stellatoidea2 produced large amounts of green pigment. This was considered of...

Methyl green has long been known as a histological stain with a specific affinity for DNA, although its fluorescent properties have remained unexplored until recently. In this article, we illustrate the method for preparing a methyl green aqueous stock solution, that when diluted can be used as a very convenient fluorescent nuclear label for fixed cells and tissues. Easy procedures to label who...

Psammoma bodies are one of many choroid plexus aging changes which origin is still enigma for the scientists. During our investigation psammoma bodies were studied on 30 postmortem brains by light microscopy. They stained red with HE, and were PAS and AB PAS positive. The largest number of lamellas were stained blue with Mallory's connective tissue stain, except peripheral and next to the cente...

Crystal violet treatment of formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue slides greatly reduces the endogenous autofluorescence, and allows immunofluorescence (IF) staining with FITC or Alexa488 conjugated antibodies. Using cold CCD camera to capture the fluorescence images makes this staining method very sensitive. Here we show that combination of IF with the simultaneous recording of crystal viole...
