Distribution of beta-glucanases within the genus Bacillus.

Representative strains (368) from 36 species in the genus Bacillus were screened for the secretion of beta-glucanases. (1 leads to 6)-beta-glucanases active on pustulan were produced by a minority of the organisms studied (4%), but (1 leads to 3)-beta-glucanases which hydrolyzed laminarin and pachyman were more widespread and were secreted by 56 and 44% of the strains, respectively.

Four-day, forty-hour workweek for neonatal intensive care nurses.

The four-day, 40-hour alternative work schedule was presented to professional nurses in the special care nursery at a hospital and medical center in Chicago, Illinois. Within a few months, every nurse in the unit, in addition to those newly recruited, elected to work the alternative schedule. The project was evaluated at 12 and 18 months, with encouraging results. The nurses perceived the 10-hour day as a major structural support enabling them to provide optimal patient care while coping with work-related stress.
