In the fall of 2010 Pi Kappa Alpha at the University of Utah (Alpha Tau) was at a point of crisis. The chapter received a membership review in response to poor membership‚ lack of accountability and apathy. Following the membership review the house was left with dwindled membership and a group of disheartened members who remained. The following spring the remaining members of the house opted to not take on a new member class. Instead they would build a foundation within the active chapter of

Calculating Beta for Compuware Corporation Financial websites tend to calculate beta on securities differently for publicly traded companies. Beta is merely an estimable measure of an assets’ risk in relation to the market. Because each website has their own underlying assumptions‚ they compute beta to have different values. In some cases‚ the variance in beta is as large as 0.50. To find out what underlying assumptions websites used to compute their betas‚ we performed a series of regression

Beta-Galactosidase and Western Blot 0 1. EMG 9 and EMG 26 contain strain _lac-_(I- Z+ Y+) and strain _lac -_ (I+ Z- Y-)respectively.Three genes huddled together on the chromosome are required for two strains of _E.coli_ to utilize lactose.Consisting of three genes‚ namely‚ _lacZ_‚ _lacY_ and _lacA_‚ the _lac_ operon orderly handles these genes to code specific enzymes necessary for the metabolism of lactose. The genes _lacZ_‚ _lacY_ and _lacI_ would code for beta-galactosidase‚ galactosidase permease

digestive enzyme found in the intestines of mammals. Beta-galactosidase is an enzyme that initiates the breakdown of the substrate lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide sugar found in milk. It is composed of two rings. The rings contain 5 carbon atoms and an oxygen atom. Attached to the carbon atoms are a hydrogen atom and an OH group or another carbon. The rings are bound together by an oxygen bridge. This bridge can be broken when the enzyme Beta-galactosidase binds to lactose and a water molecule

problem we are studying was to determine the cellular damage of various concentrations of propanol‚ ethanol‚ methanol‚ NaCL‚ and sodium dodecyl sulfate henceforth known as SDS on Beta vulgaris to ultimately distinguish the ability of each solution to permeate the membrane of the Beta vulgaris. • Beta vulgaris contains a beta cyanin which is a water-soluble red-pigment‚ which remains in a healthy vacuole surrounded by the tonoplast membrane. When we damage the tonoplast membrane and thus disrupt the

Piper Alpha: Lessons Learnt‚ 2008 Piper Alpha was a large North Sea oil platform that started production in 1976. It produced oil from 24 wells and in its early life it had also produced gas from two wells. It was connected by an oil pipeline to Flotta and by gas pipelines to two other installations. In 1988‚ Piper Alpha was operated by Occidental Petroleum (Caledonia) Ltd ("OpCal")‚ a wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation. On 6 July 1988‚ there was a massive leakage of gas

The reliability of the PKLA test in piloting calculated through Cronbach’s Alpha was .71‚ which is considered acceptable. Out of the initial 35 items each having 1 point‚ the minimum score was 6 and the maximum score was 28‚ with the mean and standard deviation of 15.78 and 5.26 respectively. The preliminary investigation showed that contrary to teachers’ claims in the first phase of the study (Table 4)‚ the majority of them had low levels of PKLA; the mean score of the participants was also low

A) Long-acting beta agonist: Beta-agonists (Beta2-agonists) are the medications that affect smooth muscles surrounding airways.1 In an irritated state of lung‚ muscles around the airways are constricted; these kinds of drugs can influence these muscles and make them relaxed‚ which brings about widening of airway and leads to comfortable breath (“easier breathing”1).1 They are categorized into two subtypes according to their duration time of action‚ including long-acting and short-acting. They can
