The need for a strong security culture in organizations has been emphasized by many researchers. Cultures in some organizations are known to be differentiated, i.e., there may be variations in cultures across professional groups within a single organization. The (sub)culture of a professional group in an organization is influenced by many factors. In the current article, we propose a theory-bas...

Variability in gas production in multiple subcultures of Escherichia coli was assessed in two selective enrichment media and in lactose peptone water. Considerable variability occurred with all media at 37 and 44 degrees C. Addition of buffer increased gas production and decreased variability. The relationships between pH, growth, and gas production were complex. In buffered media, viable count...

Two human colon carcinoma cell lines derived from the same tumor specimen were characterized. The cell lines, COLO 320 and COLO 321 , have amine precursor uptake and decarbox ylation cell properties, such as ectopic production of norepi nephrine, epinephrine, serotonin, adrenocorticotropic hor mone, and parathyroid hormone. The cells were morphologi cally different from most colon cell lines. D...

Results and costs of the first six months experience with BACTEC NR-730 were compared with a series of blood cultures performed by the conventional method previously used. The newer technology detected the growth of 14.1% of significant isolates on the day of receipt of the specimens. The previous method lacked blind subcultures on the day of receipt and therefore detected growth only after ove...

Machinery of Government restructures—transformations that create or abolish departments move functions between agencies—often result in the misalignment cultures and subcultures impact business operations customer service levels. An understanding how are impacted during restructures is vital as they can reveal diffused microcultural boundaries reflect highly problematic cultural tensions. This ...

This paper examines punk subcultures as a response to “the condition of postmodernity,” defined here as a crisis of meaning caused by the commodification of everyday life. Punk musicians and subcultures have responded to this crisis in one of two ways. Like other forms of “plank parody” associated with postmodernism, the “culture of deconstruction” expresses nihilism, ironic cynicism, and the p...

A radiometric procedure for rapid detection of bacteria in clinical blood specimens was utilized over a period of 1 year in this laboratory. Although in initial studies it was felt that all positive bacteremias would be detected by radiometric examination of cultures for 14CO2 evolution over a 7-day period, we found in the present study that a significant number of bacteria were not detected, e...
