Although the organisms of the pleuropneumonia group isolated from man (Paine et al., 1950; Keller and Morton, 1954) and from several species of animals (Tang et al., 1936; Delaplane, 1948; Hoyt et al., 1951; Sheriff and Piercy, 1952) have been cultivated in the chick embryo, the goat pleuropneumonia-like organism (PPLO) recently isolated from goats and reported by us, to our knowledge, has not ...

Editors’ abstract. Street-level netwar is just around the corner. Sullivan (L.A. County Sheriff ’s Office) observes how gangs, hooligans, and anarchists are evolving so as to develop capacities for waging netwar. He concludes his analysis by affirming the need to build interagency networks to counter the networked adversaries now coming over the law enforcement horizon. This chapter updates and...

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis made good on her brash announcement that “there‟s a new sheriff in town” by choosing David Michaels as her Assistant Secretary for OSHA, and Jordan Barab as his Deputy Assistant. Both are mounting a national posse to round up and hang employers. Michaels hit the ground running, calling for – among other things – increased penalties and more aggressive enforcement ...

Ecologists have only begun to understand the physiological mechanisms underlying individual- and population-level responses of prey- to predator-related stress. Sheriff, Krebs and Boonstra advance this field by providing evidence that predator-induced increases in glucorticoid concentrations in wild female snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) impact both litter size and offspring condition. They h...

s The pilot Drug Courts in Glasgow and Fife have important procedural differences that had been instituted to enable the Drug Court model to be adapted to different local contexts. s The referral procedures adopted had both strengths and weaknesses. The procedures in Glasgow, for example, had generated fewer referrals but were more effective in 'fast-tracking' offenders into treatment. s The ra...

Gasarch, Golub, and Srinivasan studied the Robin Hood game in the case of random, memoryless strategies. In this brief note we extend their main result to the case of bounded memory, and clarify several questions raised by them. 1. The Robin Hood game The Robin Hood game RH(r, s, A) is defined for functions r, s : N → N such that 1 ≤ r(i) < s(i) for each i, and for a set A, as follows: (1) On d...

CT140 RFLP Probe: Four primers were designed from the CT140 RFLP probe: PCT140F1, PCT140F2, PCT140R1 and PCT140R2 (Table 1). All four primer combinations gave the strongest bands of 750 bp with Heinz 1706 DNA (Fig. 2). Primer pairs PCT140F1/PCT140R1 and PCT140F2/PCT140R2 gave two bands. Primer pairs PCT140F1/PCT140R2 and PCT140F2/PCT140R1 gave a single band. The primer pair PCT140F2/PCT140R1 ga...
