Sustainability in Store
… idea of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) into their operations. The difficulty hierin lies in the the lack of any clear understanding or agreement for what the term implies for retailers and how to implement it in retailers’ daily operations. Instead, retailers need to handle a number …

Identification of an aqueous glue protein, SCP-2, and the development of a polyclonal antiserum against the bHLH transcription factor SGSF in Latrodectus Hesperus
… evidence for a spider coating peptide, called SCP-2, found on gumfooted lines, scaffolding joints and egg cases. The presence of this spider coating peptide on the fibers is supported by MS/MS analysis. Using quantitative real-time PCR analysis, we also demonstrate that SCP-2 has a …

Development and Optimization of an Assay of Scp-2/Thiolase Activity in Rat Liver, and a Study of the Substrate Stereospecificity of Permfe-2
… ß-oxidative mechanism. Sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP-2/Thiolase) has recently been shown to harbor the peroxisomal thiolase activity responsible for cleavage of 24-oxo-THCA-CoA to C₃-CoA and cholyl-CoA. To characterize this enzyme further, an assay that is sensitive and specific is needed. An HPLC …

Reforming Curriculum in A Centralized System: An Examination of the Relationships between Teacher Implementation of Student-Centered Pedagogy and High Stakes Teacher Evaluation Policies in China
… policies, namely, Student-Centered Pedagogy (SCP). This dissertation set out to investigate the influences of selected school and teacher background characteristics, classroom-level SCP implementation variables, and a high stakes teacher evaluation policy variable, on SCP implementation levels …

A Graph Convolutional Network approach for enhancing Set Covering Problem solvers
The Set Covering Problem (SCP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with applications in telecommunication, logistics, and transportation. Solving SCP is computationally challenging due to the combinatorial explosion of potential solutions, particularly for large instances. This study …

Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivors' intentions to follow survivorship care plans
… survivors had towards survivorship care plans (SCPs) and how those factors impact their intentions to follow a care plan. Participants were HL survivors who had completed treatment. An online self-reporting questionnaire was used to assess demographics and questions related to HL survivor's …

1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (Platelet Activating Factor): Interactions with Sheep Platelets
… considerations. A shape change parameter (SCP) was defined and, therefore, the method is called the SCP assay. The SCP assay demonstrated, for the first time, that platelet shape change is a response sensitive to small changes in nanomolar PAF concentrations (less than an order of …

Synthesis of Amphibian Alkaloids and Development of Acetaminophen Analogues
… for the preparation of the analgesic compounds SCP-123 and its sodium salt, SCP-123ss•monohydrate has been developed. The process for the preparation of SCP-123 required three synthetic steps with no chromatography, while the process for the preparation of SCP-123ss required four synthetic steps …

The Use of Survivorship Care Plans as a Transition Tool from the Cancer Centre to Follow-Up in Primary Care Settings: Developing Best Practice Recommendations for Implementation
… for follow-up care. Survivorship care plans (SCPs) have been identified as a tool to help survivors and their PCPs with this transition (Rushton et al., 2015). SCPs generally consist of a treatment summary, a schedule for follow-up and surveillance tests, and general health recommendations …

Use of antioxidant activity and flavonoid levels to assess the quality of commercially available solid dose Sutherlandia frutescens products
… tests were conducted on all of the selected SCP. The products were stored under elevated temperatures and environmental humidity conditions and total phenol, antioxidant and chromatographic analysis was conducted on these samples. Samples of each of the SCP were hydrolyzed using HCL and then …

Structural characterization of spider coating petide [i.e., peptide] 1 and 2 of the black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus
… Using circular dichroism, it was determined that SCP-1 and SCP-2 display predominantly alpha-helical secondary structures. In temperature gradient studies, SCP-1 is structurally stable at high temperatures while SCP-2 unfolded and lost its alpha-helical structure. The two peptides remained …
