Michael Apple is the author or co-author of more than 25 books and numerous academic and professional articles. This paper is an attempt to not only gain a better understanding of the "leftist" ideology in educational research by examining one its most prolific authors, but also to take a hard look at how leftist education literature has "allowed" powerful conservative (or "rightist") coalition...

Implementation of low cost sensor nodes in recent years allow sensor nodes to be applicable in many different areas e.g. environment monitoring, homeland security and disaster relief operations. One major contribution is their high demand on data acquisition. Real-time data acquisition is more challenging and promising issue in these application areas. There are many approaches and solutions pr...

We determined the weather type, according to the Jenkinson and Collison procedure, of the 22 646 days in the 1948-2009 period for the western Mediterranean basin. The analysis is based upon the surface pressure values of the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, for a grid of nine points with extreme vertices at 45o N, 5o W and 35o N, 15o E, which provides a broad synoptic catalogue for this region. We analyze...

Female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA) is a common and distressing cause of hair loss, caused by androgens in genetically susceptible women [1, 2], in which dihydrotestosterone (DHT) binds to androgen receptors leading to miniaturization of scalp hair follicles [3]. FAGA, characterized by a specific diffuse loss of hair of the parietal or frontovertical regions ('in the crown'), where 5α-reductase...

Geological structure of the "Kalmaz" oil and gas field, that is being studied since 1930, located 100 km south-west Baku, in north-eastern part lower Kura depression. Information on geological structure, stratigraphy, tectonics, content field etc. has been collected as a result search exploration works carried out structural research wells drilled. The was formed from brachianticlinal fold with...

The article is devoted to the clarification of structural and tectonic structure newly drilled wells in Gurgan offshore field, which has been under development for a long time.The Gurgan-Deniz located Caspian Sea, sufficient residual reserves. field was discovered 1947. In same year, well No. 7 south-western wing put into operation. depth sea between 0.5-8 meters. average 2.5 m. From material t...

The sinking of dense water down a steep continental slope is studied using laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The experiments were made in a rotating tank containing a solid cone mounted on the tank floor and originally filled with water of constant density. A bottom gravity current was produced by injecting more dense coloured water at the top of the cone. T...

Coral framework construction and resultant growth fabrics in response to environmental factors were studied in the northern Red Sea, and the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba. The dependence of growth fabric types on sea-floor topography, oceanography and the ecology of constituent coral species was investigated. Five types of coral frameworks and their growth fabrics were differentiated: Acropora reef f...
