Extent and nature

The aim of this study is to investigate the nature, extent and determinants of risk information disclosed, using the context of corporate reporting in Malaysia. Key management personnel and controlling shareholders are chosen as the two types of players expected to influence corporate risk disclosure decisions. In terms of key management personnel, this study draws on upper echelons theory to develop hypotheses about the effects of demographic and other background influences of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chair of Audit Committee (CAC) on corporate risk disclosure.

To investigate how solubility and steric issues affect the laccase-catalysedoxidationof phenols, a series of oligomeric polyphenol compounds, having increasing size and decreasing solubility in water, was incubated with laccase. The extent of substrate conversion, and the nature of the products formed in buffered aqueous solutions, were com-pared to those obtained in the presence of an organic cosolvent, and also in the presence of twomediating species, i.e. N-hydroxyphthalimide (HPI) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yloxy (TEMPO). ...

Therehas longbeenconjectureover thedegree towhichthere may be structural and functional heterogeneity in the tetra-mericserineproteasetryptase(EC 3.4.21.59), amajor mediator of allergic inflammation. We have applied 2D gel electrophoresis to analyze the extent, nature, and variability of thisheterogeneity inlysatesofmast cells isolatedfromlung and skin, and in preparations of purified tryptase. Gels were silver stained, or the proteins transferred to nitrocellulose blots and probed with either tryptase-specific monoclonal antibodies or various lectins. ...
