DOI: 10.1026/1617-6383.18.1.9 Abstract. Most communication studies on children and media have focused solely on television. Other popular media products such as narrative audio tapes have been neglected. The present article addresses factors that influence preschoolers’ selective exposure to these tapes. In line with past research, the emotional attractiveness of a story’s protagonist and some ...

A new water-soluble receptor 1 has been synthesized and it showed selective recognition of zwitterionic arginine in aqueous media. Moreover, the receptor 1 could be regard as a facile tool for protein labeling and quantitative determination (LOD = 15 nM).

Actinobacteria (actinomycetes) have been received much attention, as these bacteria pro‐ duce a variety of natural drugs and other bioactive metabolites. The distribution of acti‐ nomycetes in various natural habitats, including soil, ocean, extreme environments, plant, lichens and animals, is described. The collection and pretreatment of test samples from different sources, design principle of...

A blood-free selective agar is described which contains charcoal, ferrous sulfate, sodium pyruvate, casein hydrolysates, cefazolin, and sodium deoxycholate (CCD agar). CCD agar was compared with Preston medium for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni from human feces, and isolation rates were similar on both media, but CCD agar was less selective. Temperature studies at 37 and 42 degrees C confirm...

Salmonella paratyphi B and Salmonella typhimurium were starved in seawater microcosms respectively for 12 and 6 years. After starvation periods, major part of water was evaporated in each microcosm and salt crystals appeared. No culturable cells were obtained in selective and non-selective media. Salty suspension of each microcosm was inoculated in the yolk sacs of embryonated chicken eggs. Cul...

A medium is described which selectively inhibits most bacteria from the normal flora of the conjunctiva, the lid-margin, and the upper respiratory tract but permits growth of Moraxella nonliquefaciens, M. liquefaciens, and the less fastidious strains of M. lacunata. The selective conditions are obtained with thiostrepton, tyrothricin, and sodium nalidixinate as inhibitors. Incubation under incr...

A procedure is described to allow selective cancellation of polarized scattering within optical substrates and multilayers. It is shown how bulk scattering (respectively surface) can be directly eliminated while the remaining roughness (respectively bulk) signal is still measurable. The same procedure can be applied to isolate a single interface or bulk within a stack or to detect slight depart...

The occurrence of the 9/11 attacks marked sharp rise public narrative Islamophobia in US and West. This backlash against Islam Muslims came about as a consequence media campaign led by Fox News far-right outlets, which represent conservative socio-political agenda. has employed translation its negative representation Muslims. Hence, this research applies analytical framework theory to sample ep...

The synthesis and characterisation of an immobilised molecular ruthenium catalyst for the selective oxidation organic substrates in fully aqueous media with high selectivity over competing oxygen evolution reaction is reported.

A highly selective, differential medium for the enumeration and isolation of Klebsiella spp. was developed. With pure cultures, 100% recovery of Klebsiella spp. was observed. Recovery of Klebsiella spp. on MacConkey-inositol-potassium tellurite (MCIK) agar was as good as or better than on MacConkey-inositol-carbenicillin agar either with pure cultures or environmental samples. Recovery and perc...
