Haptoglobin typing from fatty tissues after extraction with non-ionic detergents

Of the seven non-ionic detergents tested, Span 40, Tween 20 and Triton X-45 were suitable for extraction of haptoglobin (Hp) from fatty tissues. The extracted samples were subjected to electrophoresis and subsequently stained with o-tolidine. Enzyme-immunoassay and Western blotting (electrophoretic) techniques were used successfully to determine the Hp phenotypes from minute quantities of tissue samples after extractions with non-ionic detergents.

Strict Liability and the Paradoxes of Proportionality

This essay explores the case against strict liability offenses as part of the more general debate about proportional punishment. This debate takes on a very different look in light of a formal result derived by the authors elsewhere, that is briefly summarized and whose implications are pursued here. Traditional objections that consequentialists have mounted against the deontologists’/retributivists’ defense of proportionality fall by the wayside, but a new threat to the proportionality requirement replaces it: the ease with which any such requirement can be circumvented.
