Amerika kıtasına Yahudilerin ulaşması, Kolomb dönemine kadar götürülmektedir. Güney Amerika’da, akabinde de İngiliz kolonilerinde Yahudiler varlık göstermiştir. Hali hazırda dünya üzerindeki büyük bir kısmı da ABD’de yaşamaktadır. ABD’deki Yahudi oluşumları içinde özel yere sahip olan Siyahi Yahudiler, bu makale çerçevesinde ele alınmış, Afrika kökenli ve kendilerini İsariloğullarının torunları...

current innovative lateral load carrying systems for tall buildings are those in which the lateral drift is limited to an allowable value without considerable influence on economy. this aim is achieved by using special systems capable of using maximum stiffness and strength capacity of individual structural elements. an effective structural solution in this respect is the use of outrigger brace...

The polymeric nanoparticles are prepared from biocompatible polymers in size between 10-1000 nm. Chitosan is a biocompatible polymer that - can be utilized as drug delivery systems. In this study, chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized using an optimized spontaneous emulsification method. Determining particle size and morphology are two critical parameters in nanotechnology. The aim of this st...

Turtles of the clade Testudinoidea have a rather scarce fossil record in Afro-Arabia, ranging from late Eocene up to Quaternary. The vast majority testudinoid fossils Afro-Arabia are ascribed Testudinidae, which has had continuous presence area since Eocene. Geoemydidae is poorly documented by fragments found throughout Neogene across northern Africa and Middle East. Emydidae absent this area. ...

AIMS To determine the percentage of children and young adults who are obese or overweight within different ethnic and socioeconomic groups. METHODS Secondary analysis of data on 5689 children and young adults aged 2-20 years from the 1999 Health Survey for England. RESULTS Twenty three per cent of children (n = 1311) were overweight, of whom 6% (n = 358) were obese. More girls than boys wer...

Aim. To conduct a clinicopathological review of all prostate biopsies performed in a tertiary referral centre in Trinidad and Tobago over a period of 30 months. Methods. The records of all patients who had prostate biopsies from January 2012 to July 2014 were reviewed. Clinical and pathologic data were compiled and subsequently analysed using SPSS version 20. Results. From January 2012 to July ...

The investigation of presumed neutropenia places a burden on the health services, especially those of developing countries, including Jamaica. This may be because the normal ranges used in the laboratory are based on the values generated from the Caucasian population. Previous studies looking at African and Afro-Caribbean groups have found lower counts for these populations compared with Caucas...

In this article, we tried to emphasis in how the range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings works. The designed base was according to provisions of the Canadian standard, 2005 NBCC. The behavior of nonlinear dynamic time history of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional ground motions compatible with design spectra are investigated. These models c...
