Low-grade metabolic acidosis is a condition characterized by a slight decrease in blood pH, within the range considered normal, and feeding is one of the main factors that may influence the occurrence of such a condition. The excessive consumption of acid precursor foods (sources of phosphorus and proteins), to the detriment of those precursors of bases (sources of potassium, calcium, and magne...

The various roles of ellagic acid as an anticarcinogenic plant phenol, including its inhibitory effects on chemically induced cancer, its effect on the body, occurrence in plants and biosynthesis, allelopathic properties, activity in regulation of plant hormones, formation of metal complexes, function as an antioxidant, insect growth and feeding inhibitor, and inheritance are reviewed and discu...

concern regarding the ef%ciency, stability and safety margins of hi-propellant combustion in rocket engines has prompted the investigation of nlany specific aspects of spray evaporation, ignition and combustion previoudy not studied. Thus, early s!,ucties of combustion in liquid rocket engines were based upon the results of the classsid single-component, isolated drop combustion at atmospheric ...

THE three men who shared the Nobel Prize in October 1945 for their work on penicillin could scarcely have differed more in their backgrounds and characters. Fleming was sixty-four years old by then; the son of a Scottish farmer, he was a retiring man, not given to conversation. By contrast, Florey, then aged forty-seven, was the son of a wealthy Australian boot and shoe manufacturer; aggressive...

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the toxicity to termites and the leaching stability of copper compounds derived from triand dioctylamineboric acid complexes for protecting wood against termite at tack . Water inso luble copper Nmethyldioctylamine or copper N-dioctylamine and copper borate were precipitated in wood by the reaction of N-methyldioctylamine or N-dioctylamine-bor...

In a 1990 article of the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, Clare Brant, a medical doctor who spent a career practicing psychiatry among his people, the Mohawk, wrote of how cultural influences in the realm of mental health contributed to errors in medical diagnosis and treatment, too often with destructive results. This article similarly examines the manifestation of Brant’s “Native ethics and ru...

summery output of global climatic scenarios resulted from large-scale predictions (usually 125 to 500 km network) of gsm models are not appropriate for important applications. because small-scale spatial variability due to factors such as land cover, topography, etc., has a significant impact on climatic variables of desired area and some processes such as runoff are sensitive to this variabili...

Purpose: According to the Frames, then Content hypothesis (MacNeilage & Davis, 1990), the internal structure of CV syllables during canonical babbling is determined primarily by production system properties related to rhythmic mandibular oscillations (Motor Frames). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of auditory input in emerging canonical syllables during the babbling period...

In this chapter, we take a social psychological approach to understanding gender and leadership. In doing so, we explain how both the social context and people’s perceptions influence leadership processes involving gender. The theoretical approaches taken by social psychologists are often focused on one of these two questions: (1) Are there gender differences in leadership style and effectivene...
