Assessing Person‐Organization Fit in Personnel Selection: Guidelines for Future Research
Authors: Karren Ronald J. , Graves Laura M. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractIn response to theory and research suggesting that positive individual and organizational outcomes are associated with person‐organization fit, there is growing interest in the use of personnel selection practices to achieve fit between individuals and organizations. Research is needed to confirm the value of assessing applicant‐organization fit in the selection process and to test alternative approaches for measuring the match between applicants and organizations. This article provides guidance for future research on the assessment of applicant‐organization fit. Criteria for assessing applicant‐organization fit are indentified and four techniques for assessing fit are then evaluated in the light of these criteria. In addition, the article identifies issues that should be addressed in future research on applicant‐organization fit.
The Practical Effects of Bias on Compensable Factor Weights in Job Evaluation: A Policy‐Capturing Experiment
Authors: Deckop John R. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractSubjects (n=64) were shown videotapes of actors portraying incumbents of three jobs, then they completed job evaluation forms for two of them and indicated what they felt these jobs should be paid relative to the third. Job evaluations using the compensable factor weights determined in policy‐capturing analyses were then conducted. Results of the job evaluations depended on whether effects of job type and gender bias on compensable factor weights were controlled. Failure to control for these biases produced a pronounced effect on job classification decisions. The estimate of this effect was three to four pay grades. Implications for the determination of weights in job evaluation plans are provided.
Antipsychotic drugs reverse the AMPA receptor‐stimulated release of 5‐HT in the medial prefrontal cortex
Authors: Amargós‐Bosch Mercè , Adell Albert , Artigas Francesc 
Published: March 2007

AbstractThe prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. PFC neuronal activity is modulated by monoaminergic receptors for which antipsychotic drugs display moderate‐high affinity, such as 5‐HT2Aand α1‐adrenoceptors. Conversely, PFC pyramidal neurons project to and modulate the activity of raphe serotonergic neurons and serotonin (5‐HT) release. Under the working hypothesis that atypical antipsychotic drugs may partly exert their action in PFC, we assessed their action on thein vivo5‐HT release evoked by increasing glutamatergic transmission in rat medial PFC (mPFC). This was achieved by applying S‐AMPA in mPFC (reverse dialysis) or by disinhibiting thalamic excitatory afferents to mPFC with bicuculline. The application of haloperidol, chlorpromazine, clozapine and olanzapine in mPFC by reverse dialysis (but not reboxetine or diazepam) reversed the S‐AMPA‐evoked local 5‐HT release. Likewise, the local (in mPFC) or systemic administration of these antipsychotic drugs reversed the increased prefrontal 5‐HT release produced by thalamic disinhibition. These effects were shared by the 5‐HT2Areceptor antagonist M100907 and the α1‐adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin. However, raclopride (DA D2 antagonist) had very modest effects. These results suggest that, besides their action in limbic striatum, antipsychotic drugs may attenuate glutamatergic transmission in PFC, possibly by interacting with 5‐HT2Aand/or α1‐adrenoceptors.
PADRI WARIS‐UD‐DIN, M. B. E.
Authors: Stanton H. U. Weitbrecht 
Published: April 2007

This sketch of the life of Padri Waris‐ud‐Din is summarised from an Urdu pamphlet by his friend and fellow‐convert Padri R. M. Wa'iz. The writer was originally named Rahmat Ali after the Shi'ah leader and grandson of Mohammed. At his baptism the name of Ali was changed to that of Christ and he became Rahmat Masih (Mercy of Christ). As preacher and later as clergyman connected with the Church Missionary Society, Padri R. M. Wa'iz has been a voluminous writer, especially of Christian hymns, and his Rahat‐i‐Dil (Heart's Ease) is a very widely used hymn‐book among Panjabi village Christians. Every Urdu verse writer takes on a nom de plume, and Rahmat Masih chose that of Wa'iz (preacher). By this name he was ordained, and is known.The Shi'ah sect of Islam, to which the Khoja clan belongs, forms a small minority of the Indian Moslems. They revere Ali the son‐in‐law of Mohammed as his only true successor, and the commemoration of his son's martyrdom at Karbala is the most distinctive observance of their religion.It was at Narowal that Robert Bruce of the Church Missionary Society first labored, before he went to found their Persia Mission in 1869. The life of his successor, Rowland Bateman, has been depicted by an Indian civilian, Robert Maconachie (published by C. M. S. in 1917). Until recently Narowal was remote, and approached by the worst roads in the countryside; it is now a railway junction with lines in three directions.

Risk, Return, and Performance Measurement: A Case of Unrealistic Expectations?
Authors: Goebel Joseph M. 
Published: March 2007

AbstractClient criteria imposed upon active asset management companies to hold only high‐quality (HQ) investments in achieving specific Treasury‐adjusted spreads and above‐average rates of return effectively mandate a passive management policy and can be met only with very low probability. HQ investments do not consistently outperform either medium (MQ) or low quality (LQ) investments over time regardless of whether returns are measured monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Further, both time series and cross‐sectional results show that HQ sectors are generally associated withex postreturns that are lower than those for either MQ or LQ sectors. Finally, HQ sectors do not outperform MQ and LQ sectors in consistently surpassing Treasury spreads or crediting rates. These results suggest that periodic evaluation of asset performance in light of such stringent criteria misunderstands the dynamic nature of the market as well as fundamental risk/return relationships.
REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL OF MALE RATS FED DIETARY ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE
Authors: SHIVANANDAPPA T. , KRISHNAKUMARI M.K. , MAJUMDER S.K. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTEthylene dibromide (EDB), a grain fumigant, has been assessed for its toxic effects when fed to growing albino rats at 50, 100, 250 and 500 ppm in the diet for 90 days. Weekly body weight gain showed no effect on growth. Organ weights were normal and no histopathological lesions were observed in the liver, kidney, lungs, brain, spleen, adrenal gland, and the testis. Activities of the serum enzymes, viz., GOT, GPT, LDH and alkaline phosphatase were not affected. EDB fed male rats when mated with normal female rats showed no impairment in their reproductive performance.

Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTDuplicate portions of daily meals consumed by 21 housewives were collected for 3 consecutive days at Nagoya‐city and Asuke‐cho in Japan. The 24 h duplicate meals were analyzed for chloroform. Thirty grams of samples, 170 mL of water, 1 mL of phosphoric acid, and 0.5 g of ascorbic acid were mixed in a distillation flask which was heated under nitrogen gas flow. The purged chloroform was trapped in n‐pentane cooled at 0° C. The pentane solution was analyzed to by electron capture gas chromatography. Confirmation of chloroform was carried out by GC‐MS.The concentration of chloroform in each of the 24‐h duplicate meals were in the range of 1.7 to 45.8 ppb and the average concentration was 13.7± 9.6 ppb.Daily dietary intake of chloroform by housewives were in the range of 7.5 to 51.9 μg and the mean intake was 26.4 ± 11.8 μg.
CHLORINATED HYDROCARBON TISSUE RESIDUES FROM BOVINE FEED SUPPLEMENTS: APPLE POMACE AND FISH MEAL
Authors: FOX DANNY G. , ECKERLIN RICHARD H. , EBEL JOSEPH G. , MAYLIN GEORGE A. , GUTENMANN WALTER H. , LISK DONALD J. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTBeef cattle were fed corn silage with or without apple pomace andlor fish meal. Trace levels of dicofol, an acaricide used on apples, were found in tissues of animals fed apple pomace. Detectable levels of p, p'‐DDE were also found in tissues of these cattle since dicofol, as formulated, contains about 2.5% p, p'‐DDT. The addition of fish meal containing traces of p,p'‐DDE to the ration did not consistently increase p, p'‐DDE concentrations since this supplement only comprised 3% of the diet. The corn silage and fish meal each contained trace concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) but PCBs were not detectable in tissues of any of the cattle.
EFFECTS OF PLANT EXTRACTS ON ARYL HYDROCARBON HYDROXYLASE ACTIVITY AND 3H‐BENZO(a)PYRENE BINDING TO DNA
Authors: ALWAN ALI H. , MAHMOUD MUHANNED J. , NAJI ADIBA 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT Eight plant species belonging to different families were extracted and fractionated by organic solvents and their total extracts were tested against aryl hyrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity and 3H‐benzo(a)pyrene binding to DNA in vitro. The n‐butanol extract was more effective than the extracts of chloroform and petroleum‐ether, respectively. None of the aqueous extracts showed any inhibitory effects on both AHH activity and 3H‐benzo(a)pyrene binding to DNA. The extracts obtained from Cypressus sempevirens L., Anchusa strigosa L., Myrtus communis L., and Crataegus monogyna L. were more effective than the extracts from Achillea santolina L. and Thuja occidentalis L. However, extracts obtained from Adiantum capillus‐veneris L. and Salsola rosamarinus L. exhibited no effects. The results suggest that the inhibitory effects of these plant extracts on AHH activity and 3H‐benzo(a)pyrene binding to DNA might have similar effect in vivo and there might be used in the prevention of cancer.
SURVIVAL OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES IN YOGURT WITH VARYING LEVELS OF FAT AND SOLIDS
Authors: GRIFFITH MARY , DEIBEL KURT E. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT Yogurts with varying levels of fat and solids were fermented with Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in the laboratory to a titratable acidity (TA) of .09%. Each yogurt was seeded with one of three strains of Listeria monocytogenes at two levels and survival was monitored at 1–7, 14, 21 and 28 days during storage at 4°C. All strains survived longer in the skim milk/high solids yogurts which had a higher pH than the whole milk/low solids yogurt. To determine the effects of pH, solids and fat, simulated yogurts, prepared by acidifying milk preparations to pH 4.2, 4.1 and 4.0, were inoculated with L. monocytogenes. Survival was affected by differences in pH and solids content and strain L. monocytogenes while fat content had no apparent effect.
ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF GRASSES AND LEGUMES GROWING ON SOIL COVERING COAL FLY ASH LANDFILL SITES
Authors: WEINSTEIN LEONARD H. , OSMELOSKI JOSEPH F. , RUTZKE MICHAEL , BEERS ALFRED O. , McCAHAN JOHN B. , BACHE CARL A. , LISK DONALD J. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTForage grasses and legumes growing in the soil covering four coal fly ash landfill sites in Central New York were sampled and analyzed for 20 elements. Selenium, boron and molybdenum were most consistently higher in concentration in these crops than the corresponding control plants sampled from adjacent upwind locations. Legumes absorbed greater amounts of these elements than grasses probably owing to their deep‐rooted penetration of the fly ash layer below. Factors affecting the extent of absorption of these elements by the crops and the agricultural significance as related to grazing farm animals are discussed.
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ENRICHMENT BROTHS AND PLATING AGARS FOR ISOLATION OF HEMOLYTIC SPECIES OF LISTERIA
Authors: SCHIEMANN D. A. , SHOPE S. R. , BROWN MARNE J. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT A new basal broth medium was formulated for optimal growth of Listeria monocytogenes, which occurred at 37°C when the initial pH was 6.8. This formulation was used as the basal medium for development of a highly selective plating agar which proved suitable for direct culture of vaginal and rectal swabs for L. monocytogenes. A modification with slightly lower selectivity was necessary for recovery of hemolytic strains of Listeria ivanovii and Listeria seeligeri. The same basal medium was used as a pre‐enrichment broth and for the development of a selective enrichment broth which were incorporated into a two‐step enrichment procedure for the isolation of L. monocytogenes from foods. These new media were compared with several others that have been proposed by comparing recoveries of Listeria from laboratory seeded foods (100% positive), raw milk (50 samples, all negative) and comminuted meat products (75% positive).
METABIOTIC GROWTH OF AND TOXIN FORMATION BY CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM
Authors: HUHTANEN C. N. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT Strains of Clostridium botulinum types A, B and F were grown aerobically in metabiotic association with several aerobic and facultative microorganisms. In unbuffered media Enterococcus faecalis and Pediococcus cerevisiae produced enough acid to prevent toxin formation by C. botulinum but in buffered media toxin was formed. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Yersinia enterocolitica, strains of Serratia, Pseudomonas, Alcaligenes and 35 unidentified strains from mechanically deboned chicken homogenate produced conditions favorable for toxin production under aerobic conditions. The metabiotes did not inhibit spore formation nor did toxin production correlate with the appearance of spores.
THE EFFECT OF AEROBIC MESOPHILIC MICROFLORAL LEVELS ON THE ISOLATION OF INOCULATED LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES STRAIN LM82 FROM SELECTED FOODS
Authors: TRAN TONY T. , STEPHENSON PATRICIA , HITCHINS ANTHONY D. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT The effect of aerobic mesophilic microfloral concentration on the isolation of Listeria monocytogenes LM82 was studied in 31 (18 cheeses and 7 noncheese) retail foods having standard plate counts of 101 to 108 colony forming units (CFU)/g. Foods were spiked with L. monocytogenes and enriched at 30°C for 24 h in a selective enrichment broth used in a U.S. Food and Drug Administration method. Inoculum levels for isolation on modified McBride agar ranged from 0.1 to > 5 × 103 with a geometric mean value of 5 inoculated CFU/g or 1.4 CFU/g. Pure Enterococcus (Streptococcus) faecalis (0 to 6 × 106 inoculated CFU/mL) in the absence of food matrix had no effect on the enrichment of L. monocytogenes. Ease of isolation of LM82 was independent of the food microflora concentration both generally and in the specific food type of 9 Brie cheeses. Competition, when it occurs, therefore, may be due to specific bacterial competitors rather than bacterial numbers.
PHOSPHOLIPASE C PRODUCTION AND CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS GROWTH IN SOY MEAL/GROUND BEEF MIXTURES
Authors: WRIGLEY DOROTHY M. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTClostridium perfringens ATCC 13124 grew well in ground beef:soybean meal mixtures. Phospholipase C activity in the medium did not parallel the bacterial load. The concentrations of phospholipase C in 24 h cultures were lower than the control if the beef to soy ratio was 1:1 or 1:3; phospholipase C concentration was higher than the control when the beef to soy ratio was 9:1. The low phospholipase C levels may be due to the presence of carbohydrates in the soy meal because soy extracts with low carbohydrate content did not affect the phospholipase C concentrations as greatly as those with higher carbohydrate composition.
ISOLATION, PURIFICATION AND PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A NEW EXTRACELLULAR CYTOTOXIN FROM A VIRULENT CLINICAL STRAIN OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES SEROTYPE 4b, AND AN AVIRULENT, NONHEMOLYTIC VARIANT ATCC 15313 SEROTYPE 1/2a1
Authors: VAN DER KELEN DIRK , LINDSAY JAMES A. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT A number of pathologies oflisteric infections in man remain unexplained. The objective of this study was to investigate whether strains of Listeria monocytogenes synthesize additional toxin(s), which may be implicated in these unexplained pathologies. Results showed that both virulent (4b) and avirulent (ATCC 15313) strains of L. monocytogenes synthesize a previously unrecognized extracellular cytotoxin of Mr 34,000. Cytotoxin synthesis is possibly dependent on the type of salt and the concentration of calcium ions. The cytotoxin is highly thermostable (D121C > 10 min) but is susceptible to digestion by trypsin/chymotrypsin. The cytotoxin is thermostable as the absence of viable L. monocytogenes cells in a food does not preclude the possibility of a toxigenic food product. The role of the cytotoxin in a listeric infection is at present unknown.
A REVIEW OF METHODS FOR DETECTION OF THE PSYCHROTROPHIC FOODBORNE PATHOGENS LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES AND AEROMONAS HYDROPHILA1
Authors: PALUMBO SAMUEL A. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT The detection of the psychrotrophic foodborne pathogens Listeria monocy‐togenes and Aeromonas hydrophila in food depends on the use of various selective media designed specifically for their isolation. These selective media, which contain combinations of dyes, antibiotics, and other inhibitory substances, restrict the background microflora while permitting the desired organism (either L. monocytogenes or A. hydrophila) to form characteristic colonies. Since the selective media are not completely specific, confirmation tests specific to L. monocytogenes or A. hydrophila are used to verify the identity of the respective isolates. It has been observed that the inhibitory substances used will not permit injured (stressed) cells to form colonies and special techniques are needed to recover injured cells. The present techniques, while not ideal, do allow for a reasonably quantitative estimate of any L. monocytogenes or A. hydrophila present in a food.
DETECTION OF FIMBRIAE (CFA/I) ON ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI USING ANTIBODIES
Authors: SINGLETON EMMA R. , HAMDY MOSTAFA K. , McCAY STEVEN G. , ZAPATKA FRANCIS A. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT Fimbriae (CFA/I) were isolated after detachment from an enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strain H10407, purified by successive isoelectric point precipitation at pH 3.5, and injected into rabbits. The antisera containing the polyclonal antibodies against the fimbrial proteins (antigens) were then used to detect the presence of CFA/I on other E. coli cultures using an indirect ELISA system. The ELISA procedures for the CFA/I assay was as sensitive as the DNA hybridization for detecting the ETEC strains. Two bands (major and minor) were present when the isolated fimbrial proteins were subjected to SDS‐PAGE. The major band had a molecular mass of 40.3 and the minor 36.4 kDa. Electron microscopy of the fimbriae appeared as thin thread rods with variable length (5–15 μm).
