  • Activation of Starvation by Survival Genes

    • Stringent response is a stress response that occurs in bacteria and plant chloroplasts in reaction to stress conditions.
    • Stringent Response, also called stringent control, is a stress response that occurs in bacteria and plant chloroplasts in reaction to amino-acid starvation, fatty acid limitation, iron limitation, heat shock, and other stress conditions.
    • The stringent response is signaled by the alarmone (p)ppGpp and modulating transcription of up to 1/3 of all genes in the cell.
    • In other bacteria, stringent response is mediated by a variety of RelA/SpoT Homologue (RSH) proteins.
    • In bacteria stringent response is mediated by a variety of RelA/SpoT Homologue (RSH) proteins.

    • The stringent response is a stress response that occurs in bacteria in reaction to amino-acid starvation or other stress conditions.
    • The stringent response, also called stringent control, is a stress response that occurs in bacteria and plant chloroplasts in reaction to amino-acid starvation , fatty acid limitation, iron limitation, heat shock, and other stress conditions.
    • The stringent response is signaled by the alarmone (p)ppGpp and modulating transcription of up to 1/3 of all genes in the cell.
    • During the stringent response, (p)ppGpp accumulation affects the resource-consuming cell processes replication, transcription, and translation.
    • Explain the function of the alarmone (p)ppGpp in the stringent response
  • Employment Policy

    • Federal law provides minimum workplace safety standards, but allows the states to take over those responsibilities and to provide more stringent standards.
  • Inoculation of Live Animals

    • Today, studying viruses via the inoculation of humans would require a stringent study of ethical practices by an institutional review board.
    • In addition to virus isolation, animal inoculation can also be used to observe pathogenesis, immune response, epidemiology, and oncogenesis.
  • Cash Controls

    • Therefore, the internal controls associated with cash must be more stringent.
    • Who is responsible for receiving and depositing cash?
    • Who is responsible for giving cash to settle debts?
    • Examples of control activities include having different employees being responsible for different parts of the transaction.
    • The entire process must be reviewed by upper level management to ensure that every person is complying with their responsibilities.
  • Managerial Assumption: McGregor

    • Employees show little ambition without an incentive program and avoid responsibility whenever possible.
    • They believe that given the proper conditions, employees will learn to seek out and accept responsibility and to exercise self-direction in accomplishing objectives, that most people will want to do well at work, and that the satisfaction of doing a good job will be a strong motivation.
    • However, both theories are still prominent in the workplace, where many managers treat their employees as if they are lazy and likely to perform poorly without stringent rules and supervision.
  • The Federal Election Campaign Act

    • The amendment also created the Federal Election Commission (FEC), an independent agency responsible for regulating campaign finance legislation .
    • In response, the United States Congress enacted the Tillman Act of 1907, named for its sponsor Senator Benjamin Tillman.
    • In 1971, Congress consolidated earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates, political parties and political action committees.
  • The Salk Vaccine Field Trial

    • The responses of a treatment group of subjects who are given the treatment are compared to the responses of a control group of subjects who are not given the treatment.
    • Double-blind describes an especially stringent way of conducting an experiment on human test subjects which attempts to eliminate subjective, unrecognized biases carried by an experiment's subjects and conductors.
  • Gender Bias in the Classroom

    • Cultural norms could influence girls to prepare for their expected role of keeping a home and nurturing children, though such norms are less stringently enforced than in the past.
    • Teachers may also influence students by the way they give praise, encourage a student to correct or expand an answer, criticize, or accept without evaluating a response.
    • Research suggests teachers are more likely to respond to boys with praise or encouragement, whereas they are more likely to respond to girls by simply accepting or acknowledging a response without evaluating it.
  • The Senate

    • The Senate is also responsible for trying federal officials impeached by the House.
    • The age and citizenship qualifications for senators are more stringent than those for representatives.
