  PGR Network
Parent Governor Representatives (PGRs) are parent governors who have been elected or appointed to sit on local authority scrutiny committees dealing with education.
The remit of the PGR is to provide an apolitical voice for all parents in their area in local decision making.
The main aim of the research was to investigate the extent to which parents were able to influence the types of new schools set up prior to the enactment of the legislation.

  HEFCE : Publications : 1996 : M 14/96 - Review of Postgraduate Education
Pgr education, in particular, is the principal vehicle for training teachers in HE, who will prepare successive generations of qualified people to form the skilled workforce of the future.
Pgr numbers are concentrated in quite different subject areas: science is the biggest category (18,000 or 29% of total pgr), followed by engineering (10,300), humanities (8,000) and social sciences (6,000).
There are significant differences between the destinations of the pgr and the pgt qualified, with the former more clustered in education and in the teaching and research occupations, and the latter more generally spread throughout employer categories and types of work.

 The Armchair Empire - Xbox Reviews: Project Gotham Racing
PGR initially may sound like a Batman racing game, but really is a sequel to the solid, if somewhat unappreciated Dreamcast game Metro Street Racer.
The control scheme of PGR is well-devised in regards to the XBox controller's layout, which is important because learning to drive through the game's multitude of roadways while at the same time collecting enough kudos to move on to the next challenge takes quite a bit of getting used to.
What makes PGR a well-oiled title is the attention given to its visual and sound features to go along with the improved game control (over Metro Street Racer) and the better-defined kudos scoring system.

 Genomics|HuGENet|Reviews|Ovarian cancer
The presence of progesterone receptors (PGRs) in normal ovarian epithelial cells ( 2) supports the premise of an activity of progesterone and its synthetic variants in the epithelial tissue of the organ.
The PGR protein consists of an amino-terminal domain containing a ligand-independent activation function; a DNA-binding domain and hinge region in the central part of the protein; and a carboxy-terminal, ligand-binding domain containing a second activation function that is ligand-dependent ( 48).
PGR-A has been shown to repress estrogen receptor and PGR -B gene activation, whereas PGR-B is a stronger activator of progesterone target genes ( 52).

 Replies and Discussions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Similarly, if one thinks students should consult PGR because it will give them a sense of various programs' placement prospects, then, it seems to me, what that argues for is more openness about placement results, or a system of rankings based upon placement results, rather than a system of rankings based upon something else.
I expect that we would probably disagree on exactly what, and how great, PGR's virtues are, but I fully recognize (thanks in part to some helpful discussions with Keith) that there are students for whom PGR is a (relatively) good source of information, and I have said so explicitly in my comments here.
PGR, in my experience, gives students such bad habits, and the time I find myself wasting is the time I have to spend undoing what PGR has done.

Even though the PGR and other Mexican authorities have stated that they have "declared war" on pirate product, it is openly available in hundreds of street markets throughout the country.
When the PGR wishes to move a high profile case forward rapidly, the wheels of "justice" can move with dizzying speed, and suspects can be seized on what would appear to be flimsy grounds, as the news media have showcased during the past year with respect to murders of top politicians.
What evidence must be presented is unclear; the PGR takes too long to seek warrants and to execute them; leaks to the press and defendants are common; and corruption is a continuing problem.

 Selecting and Using Plant Growth Regulators on Floricultural Crops
Most of the PGRs used in the greenhouse are used to regulate shoot growth of bedding plants, garden mums, poinsettias, and other containerized crops.
These PGRs are frequently called "chemical pinchers" because they generally inhibit the growth of the terminal shoots or enhance the growth of lateral buds, thereby increasing the development of lateral branches.
All foliar applications of PGRs should be applied on an area basis, i.e., uniformly spray the area where the plants are located with the recommended volume of solution.

 Estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER-2/neu protein in breast cancers from pregnant patients   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Because the occurrence of breast cancer during pregnancy is uncommon and because the high levels of estrogens and progestins associated with pregnancy could cause false-negative results from ligand binding assays (LBA), the actual incidence of steroid hormone receptor positivity in tumors from this subset of women is unclear.
By LBA, 67% of tumors studied were positive for ER or PgR or both, as opposed to 57% of tumors from the nonpregnant comparison group.
By LBA, the incidence of ER and PgR in breast tumors from pregnant women was not significantly different from that of tumors from nonpregnant age-matched patients.

 SciMedWeb® - PROGESTERONE RECEPTOR (PgR)
Eight stable transfectant clones expressing both PgR isoform A and B were studied for their growth response to progesterone and its analogues.
The mRNA levels for ER, PgR, and pS2 in breast tumors (n=100) were significantly correlated to each other, but none of them was associated with the mRNA expression of PAI-1.
With respect to clinical data, ER and PgR mRNA were found to be inversely correlated to tumor size and histological grade, but not to the lymph node status (Tong D. et al., 1999).

 PGR Plug Soaks
Soak treatments were applied pre-plant by setting 105 cell trays of rooted cuttings for 2 minutes in pans with either 4 or 8 ppm Bonzi solution, allowing the trays to drain and then planting in 5" round pots.
Nemesia and Verbena that are basically only slightly responsive to PGRs had their growth rates only slightly slowed with plug soaks.
In this trial, the 8-ppm rate was nearer optimum for coleus, while the 4-ppm rate may have been sufficient for petunia.

Its objective is to ensure that PGR — especially species of present or future economic and social importance — are explored, collected, conserved, evaluated, utilized and made available for plant breeding and other scientific purposes.
It was originally based on the principle that PGR should be "preserved … and freely available for use, for the benefit of present and future generations" as part of the common "heritage of mankind." This principle, however, was subsequently subjected to "the sovereignty of States over their plant genetic resources" (FAO Resolution 3/91).
Article 12.3(h) (Funds to support farmers to conserve and use PGR sustainably): The WG attempted to choose between one of two options as the basis for negotiations — one establishing an "international fund," and the other calling for the mobilization of financial resources through national, bilateral and multilateral funding sources and the private sector.

A series of international technical conferences and meetings on PGR have been convened by the FAO, in cooperation with other organizations, in order to facilitate technical discussions among scientists and to create awareness about PGR issues among policy-makers at the national and international levels.
The Report notes that while PGR activities to date have concentrated on ex situ conservation and use, crops of local importance are rarely found in such collections, and very few countries can provide for sustained long-term storage of germplasm in their ex situ collections.
He noted that the international environment within which PGR debates were taking place had changed as a result of the existence of the CBD and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).

 HIL #529
Recall that PGR's are applied to plants to regulate plant development and to stimulate a desired growth response.
Timing of a PGR application should be based on a physiological stage of plant development such as the number of leaves present, the length of shoots, or plant diameter, not chronological age such as 3 weeks after pinching.
Therefore, drenching may not be the application method of choice for these PGR's if using a bark-based substrate; or growers should account for the presence of bark when deciding on the concentration of PGR to use.

 AN OPEN LETTER TO STUDENTS THINKING ABOUT GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PHILOSOPHY
But the PGR, rather than being conservative, is rather too revolutionary, upsetting established hierarchies, in ways that often displease those who had been complacent about their power and importance.
Now it probably is true that the PGR has had the effect of making it clearer to non-philosophers who are administrators what professional sentiment in the discipline of philosophy is actually like, but it is hard to see how this constitutes an objection to the PGR.
Of course, this is not to deny that those whose gradual or precipitous decline has been charted by the PGR may find it harder to make a case to their administration for support, though I've yet to hear, even indirectly, of a single case like that.
