Extracurricular activities exist at all levels of education, from 4th 6th, junior high high school , college and university education. Such activities are generally volunteer voluntary as opposed to mandatory, non paying, social , philanthropic as opposed to scholastic, and often involve others of the same age. Students often organize and direct these activities under Faculty teaching staff faculty sponsorship, although student led initiatives, such as independent newspapers, are common. Historical background The extra MENTAL made its first appearance in American colleges in the nineteenth century. It complemented the curriculum as much as subverted it. The students found in it a kind of laboratory for practical and vocational interests. The first extracurricular activities were student literary societies which had roots in the previous century at Harvard and Yale University Yale , debate clubs, and by mid century, Greek letter fraternities and sororities . Students also initiated and organized the early athletic programs on American college campuses. Literary societies were on the decline by the turn of the twentieth century, and some educators felt that less desirable extracurricular activities were now distracting students from their curricular responsibilities.

Tort law An ultrahazardous activity in the common law of torts is one that is so inherently dangerous that a person engaged in such an activity can be held strictly liable for injuries caused to another person, even if the person engaged in the activity took every reasonable precaution to prevent others from being injured. In the Restatement of the Law 2d, Torts 2d, the term has been abandoned in favor of the phrase inherently dangerous activity. Categories of ultrahazardous activity There are several categories of activities which are commonly recognized as being ultrahazardous, and therefore subject those who engage in them to strict liability. These include Transportation, storage, and use of dynamite and other explosives Transportation, storage, and use of radioactive materials Transportation, storage, and use of certain hazardous chemicals Keeping of wildlife wild animals i.e. animals that are not normally domesticated in that area Note that in this context domesticated does not merely refer to animals that are commonly bred and raised in captivity, such as alligator s.

Star activity is a relaxation or alteration of the specificity of restriction enzyme mediated cleavage of DNA that can occur under reaction conditions that differ significantly from those optimum for the enzyme. The result is typically cleavage at non canonical recognition site, or sometimes complete loss of specificity. Differences which can lead to star activity include low ionic strength , high pH , and high 5 v v glycerol concentrations ref Robinson CR and Sliger SG 1993 Molecular Recognition Mediated by Bound Water A Mechanism for Star Activity of the Restriction Endonuclease EcoRI. Journal of Molecular Biology. 234 302 306. ref . The latter condition is of particular practical interest, since commercial restriction enzymes are usually supplied in a Buffer solution buffer containing a substantial amount of glycerol 50 v v is typical , meaning insufficient dilution of the enzyme solution can cause star activity this problem most often arises during double or multiple digests.

incomplete date October 2010 In pharmacology , biological activity or pharmacological activity describes the beneficial or adverse effects of a drug on organism living matter . When a drug is a complex chemical mixture, this activity is exerted by the substance s active ingredient or pharmacophore but can be modified by the other constituents. Activity is generally dose biochemistry dosage dependent and it is not uncommon to have effects ranging from beneficial to adverse for one substance when going from low to high doses. Activity depends critically on fulfillment of the ADME criteria. clarify date October 2010 Whereas a material is considered bioactive if it has interaction with or effect on any cell biology cell tissue in the human body , pharmacological activity is usually taken to describe beneficial effects, i.e. the effects of drug candidate s.

No footnotes date May 2011 Activity centre is a term used in urban planning and Urban design design for a mixed use urban area where there is a concentration of commercial and other land uses. For example, the central business district s of cities CBD are also known as Central Activities Districts CAD also known as Downtown in North America or Central Activities Zone in the United Kingdom in recognition of the fact that commercial functions are not the only things that do or should occur there. The term activity centre can also be used to designate an area for mixed use development, whatever its current land use happens to be. Activity centres can vary greatly in size from the central districts of large cities to regional commercial areas to neighbourhood shopping centres and strips. They can also refer to specialised agglomerations of activities such as urban university campuses or research institutes. They are an important concept in urban planning for Transit oriented development or TOD , which seeks to intensify landuses around public transport nodes to facilitate greater sustainability in the way people and goods move around cities. Activity centres are a key component of contemporary strategic planning for large dispersed cities like those in Australia, Canada, the USA and New Zealand.

Refimprove date September 2010 An activity book is a type of book , generally aimed at children , which contains interactive content such as game games , puzzles , quiz zes, pictures to colour and other elements which involve writing or drawing in the book itself. The book may, or may not, have a loose narrative or contain other non interactive elements structured around the interactive elements. Activity books may be made for entertainment , education or a mixture of both. Specific types of activity book include colouring book s and puzzle book s. A book is normally referred to as an activity book if it combines a variety of interactive elements and does not fall neatly into one of these more specific categories. Examples Where s Wally? The Where s Wally series of books known as Where s Waldo in the USA by Martin Handford consists of both puzzle books, where the reader must search for characters hidden in pictures, and activity books such as Where s Waldo?

About specific activity radioactivity the use in biochemistry Enzyme assay Specific activity In nuclear sciences and technologies, activity is the SI quantity related to the phenomenon of natural and artificial radioactivity. The SI unit of activity is becquerel, Bq, while that of specific activity is Bq kg. The old unit of activity was curie , Ci, while that of specific activity was Ci g. For its use in radiochemistry , see radioactivity . One can use the experimentally measured specific activity to calculate the half life of an element.
