OBJECTIVE Low rates of driver licensing have been linked to increased risk of transport-related injury, and reduced access to health services, employment and educational opportunities in the Aboriginal population. This paper reports on how barriers to obtaining a driver licence are being addressed in four Aboriginal communities in New South Wales and South Australia. METHODS Qualitative data ...

OBJECTIVES This study examined the attitudes of teenagers towards the New Zealand graduated driver licensing system (GDLS), and the extent to which it affected them. METHOD Teenagers, who are members of a longitudinal study of a birth cohort, were interviewed at 15 years of age when the GDLS was first introduced and before they had begun licensure, and again at 18 years of age after they had ...

We have investigated the mechanism which prevents reinitiation of DNA replication within a single cell cycle by exploiting the observation that intact G2 HeLa nuclei do not replicate in Xenopus egg extract, unless their nuclear membranes are first permeabilized (Leno et al., 1992). We have asked if nuclear membrane permeabilization allows escape of a negative inhibitor from the replicated nucle...

Research on the political risk and entry mode of multinational companies (MNCs) has been one major subjects interest in international business terrain, factor constitute a basis for explaining whether exporting, licensing, franchising, or joint venture agreement (JVA) Foreign direct investment seems to be appropriate. As such, study examined effect as it affects strategies selected corporations...

This paper extends the work of Wang (2002) by considering a differentiated Stackelberg model, when the leader firm is an inside innovator and licenses its new technology by three options, that is, fixed-fee licensing, royalty licensing, and two-part tariff licensing. The main contributions and conclusions of this paper are threefold. First of all, this paper derives a very different result from...

In Drosophila, Insulin-like peptide 2 (Dilp-2) is expressed by insulin-producing cells in the brain, and is secreted into the hemolymph to activate insulin signaling systemically. Within the brain, however, a more local activation of insulin signaling may be required to couple behavioral and physiological traits to nutritional inputs. We show that a small subset of neurons in the larval brain h...

The precise duplication of chromosomal DNA during each cell cycle is essential for the maintenance of genetic stability. Failure to correctly regulate chromosomal DNA replication could lead to losses or duplication of chromosome segments. The precise duplication of chromosomes is normally achieved by correct regulation of the replication licensing system. Here we review our current knowledge of...

In eukaryotes the entire genome is replicated precisely once during each S phase of the cell cycle. Cell-free extracts of Xenopus eggs support chromosomal DNA replication in vitro, apparently under the same cell cycle controls that exist in vivo.1,2 When DNA is added to the cell-free system it is assembled into chromatin, and then into structures resembling normal interphase nuclei,3 processes ...

This article examines an important, but hitherto largely overlooked, licensing system which operated in the UK between the late 1920s and late 1980s and limited the amount of recorded music that broadcasters could use in radio progammes. Known as ‘needletime’ the system was formalized in the 1930s when the BBC reached a collective agreement with the UK’s record companies – here acting via the c...

oo many organizations view electronic records management (ERM) software selection through a narrow lens. Some enterprises will create massive spreadsheet-based matrices with lists of features and functions broken down in minute detail. These features and functions are weighted by priority, then added and scored to rank vendors and products based on empirical data. This can be a useful exercise ...
