Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a natural honeybee product exhibits a spectrum of biological activities including anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-tumoral actions. CAPE is also chemopreventive against intestinal, colon and skin cancer. Our aim was to extend the study of its chemoprotective features to the promotion of hepatocarcinogenesis. Male Wistar rats were subje...

Cape York pastoralists and Aborigines have jointly called for state and federal governments to legislate 1⁄4 a form of statutory co-existence of title on pastoral leases. 1⁄4 [A] marathon seven-hour meeting in the Queensland town of Coen last week 1⁄4 sought to address the uncertainty and ® nancial dif® culties ̄ owing to Cape York pastoralists from the Wik people’ s claim to a large area of Cap...

We prove a sharp lower bound of the form capE ≥ (1/2)diamE · Ψ(areaE/((π/4)diam 2E)) for the logarithmic capacity of a compact connected planar set E in terms of its area and diameter. Our lower bound includes as special cases G. Faber’s inequality capE ≥ diamE/4 and G. Pólya’s inequality capE ≥ (areaE/π)1/2. We give explicit formulations, functions of (1/2)diamE, for the extremal domains which...

The presence of abundant storage proteins in plant embryos greatly impedes seed proteomics analysis. Vicilin (or globulin-1) is the most abundant storage protein in maize embryo. There is a need to deplete the vicilins from maize embryo extracts for enhanced proteomics analysis. We here reported a chloroform-assisted phenol extraction (CAPE) method for vicilin depletion. By CAPE, maize embryo p...

The active component of the honeybee hive product propolis, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), induces a selective growth suppressive and toxic effect toward cloned rat embryo fibroblast cells transformed by adenovirus type 5 (AdS) or the AdS EIA transforming gene versus iintransformed cloned rat embryo fibroblast cells (Z-z. Su et a/., Mol. Carcinog., 4: 231-242, 1991). The present study was...

String theorists Neil Turok of Cambridge University and Paul Steinhardt, Albert Einstein Professor in Science and Director of the Center for Theoretical Science at Princeton believe that the cosmos we see as the result of a Big Bang was actually created by the cyclical trillion-year collision of two universes (which they define as three-dimensional branes plus time) that were attracted toward e...

One third of a century ago, Paul Samuelson [1959, 1629] argued that American economists "present a united front tbat reflects too little basic disagreement on fundamentals." Samuelson's point was confirmed in a 1976 survey of economists by J. R. Kearl et al. [1979; hereafter "Kearl"]. Kearl concluded that, among economists, there was much agreement and very little disagreement on both theoretic...
