This study examines the relationships among race, education, formal as well as informal involvement in the church, and God-mediated control. Formal involvement in the church was assessed by the frequency of attendance at worship services, Bible study groups, and prayer groups. Informal involvement was measured with an index of spiritual support provided by fellow church members. Data from a nat...

Introduction: Recent studies suggest that liaison nurse intervention might be effective to solve the gap between intensive care unit and wards, but little studies are known about the effect of this intervention. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of liaison nurse service on patient outcomes after discharging from intensive care unit. Methods: In this single blinded randomized c...

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, S = k[X0, X1, X2, X3, X4] and P = Proj(S). By a curve we always mean a closed one-dimensional subscheme of P which is locally Cohen-Macaulay and equidimensional. The main purpose of this paper is to show that arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curves C ⊂ P lying on a “general” arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay surface X ⊂ P with degree matri...

In the beginning there was Aristotle And objects at rest tended to remain at rest And objects in motion tended to come to rest And soon everything was at rest And God saw that it was boring. Then God created Newton And objects at rest tended to remain at rest But objects in motion tended to remain in motion And energy was conserved and momentum was conserved and matter was conserved And God saw...

ho was Hermes? The great 19th century German mythographer, W.H.Roscher, identified Hermes as the wind, subsuming under this basic identity all of his other roles and attributes Hermes as servant and messenger of the sky god Zeus, Hermes as swift and winged, Hermes as thief and bandit, Hermes as inventor of the pipes and lyre, Hermes as guide of souls and as god of dreams and sleep, Hermes as pr...

In the penultimate chapter of the Bible, in the opening statement of the very last speech God makes in the whole of the Christian Scriptures, God says: "Behold I am making all things new" (Rev 21:5). The prophet sees the old heavens and the old earth the universe as it now is passing away, and new heavens and a new earth, God's new creation of all things, coming into being. It is not that God r...

Glucose oxidase (GOD) is an important enzyme that finds a wide range of applications in food and pharmaceutical industry. In this investigation the feasibility of using rice polish as a substrate for the production of GOD by Penicillium notatum in submerged fermentation (SmF) has been evaluated. The intention was to enhance total GOD activity by the selection of economical substrate, microorgan...

An enzymatic reaction rate of glucose oxidase (GOD) using ferricyanide ion ([Fe(CN)(6)](3-)) as an oxidant significantly increased by the addition of ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL). The bimolecular rate constant between GOD and [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) in the presence of ε-PL reached about 10000-fold relative to what it was measured without the ε-PL, and the Michaelis constant decreased. The reaction rate reach...
