Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) pouch young, like other marsupials, are born underdeveloped and immunologically naïve, and are unable to mount an adaptive immune response. The mother's milk provides nutrients for growth and development as well as providing passive immunity. To better understand immune response in this endangered species, we set out to characterise the genes involved in p...

The devil-ray family Mobulidae (order Myliobatiformes) comprises wide-ranging, pelagic batoids, but little is known about their basic ecology. We present the first data on the longdistance movement of mobulid devil rays. We attached pop-up archival satellite tags to 13 individuals of the spine-tail devil ray Mobula japanica (disk width 199.5 ± 30.0 cm; mean ± SD) off Baja California Sur to exam...

Tasmanian devil joeys, like other marsupials, are born at a very early stage of development, prior to the development of their adaptive immune system, yet survive in a pathogen-laden pouch and burrow. Antimicrobial peptides, called cathelicidins, which provide innate immune protection during early life, are expressed in the pouch lining, skin and milk of devil dams. These peptides are active ag...

If (I,<) is a linearly ordered set, and (di)i∈I is a sequence of dwarves indexed by I, we say that a property P (x) holds eventually if there exists i0 ∈ I such that for all j > i0 we have P (dj). Let (di)i∈I be a sequence of dwarves, all distinct. The Devil puts a hat on the head of each dwarf. Each dwarf cannot see the colour of his own hat, but receives some additional information (depending...

This article seeks to address the problem regarding figure of devil, that is, if when referring him we are simply talking about a myth or really spiritual being with real existence. Our tour begins in Sacred Scripture, passing through Conciliar Magisterium finally present main theological current denies existence devil.

study of the works of rumi and kierkegaard shows that both thinkers in some principles like faith and morality, faith and leap, and also in relation between devil and faith, and destiny and faith, come to a common point. both of them believe that human’s duty is to surrender to god’s will, and the devil is an obstacle against faith. they also put emphasize on the matter of leap in faith. moreov...

This paper describes how feminist beliefs and values should influence nursing practice. Traditionally held patriarchal values are challenged, and the feminist tenets of gender equity, the basis for value to society and personal sovereignty are discussed. Drawing on experience as a nurse practitioner this writer gives examples of nursing practice that are grounded in feminist philosophy.
