Firing another salvo in the on-going monism-dualism debate, Joel B. Green in his new book Body, Soul, and Human Life, presents his ontological monism, a rebuttal against anthropological dualism in general and against the holistic dualism in Body, Soul, and Everlasting Life by John W. Cooper in particular. Green’s anthropological monism, which “coheres well with Nancey Murphy’s argument . . . an...

philosophers view the advantage of human soul over animal soul in theoretical and practical intellect. however, there is disagreement among them in stating the quiddity of these two intellects. with a deliberation on their words, at least four interpretations can be implied from these two intellects. after reporting the statements and expressing the functions of practical intellect, the article...

in the fourth verse of the chapter tariq, human soul has been known to have a guard. commentators, however, have presented different views knowing human soul and its guard respectively as: 1- human spirit and divine angles, 2- all creatures and god, 3- animal power and human spirit. as one of the fundamental causes for disagreement lies in the philosophical tendencies of the commentators, this ...

We show that the rates of diversification of the marine fauna and the levels of atmospheric CO(2) have been closely correlated for the past 545 million years. These results, using two of the fundamental databases of the Earth's biota and the Earth's atmospheric composition, respectively, are highly statistically significant (P < 0.001). The strength of the correlation suggests that one or more ...

Anomalous origination of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva is an uncommon congenital anomaly. Intervention for concurrent coronary artery disease is challenging due to the location of the ostia, the takeoff of the vessel as well as the course of the artery in question. It is also important, where possible, to exclude a "malignant" course as the most common adverse outcome fr...

Activation frequency is often used as a measure of basic multicellular unit (BMU) activity in cancellous bone. However, activation frequency expresses the rate of BMU appearance in a histologic slide and not the rate of origination, which is a more physiologic indicator of remodeling activity and is necessary for the development of BMU-level bone remodeling simulations. Using identical assumpti...

During our routine dissection studies we observed arterial, neural and muscular variations in the upper limbs of an adult male cadaver. In this case we observed the superficial brachial artery origination from the third part of the axillary artery, communications between the musculocutaneous and median nerves, variant formation of the brachial plexus, origination of the profunda brachii artery ...
