This article reviews research on gender and learning styles of students, 18 and older, conducted after 1980. Curry's onion model (1983) is used to classify definitions of learning styles and to reconstruct the theoretical frameworks used. The extent to which learning style is considered stable or variable in different learning contexts determines its position in the model. Most studies used the...

Tight control of blood glucose is the most important strategy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Here, we investigated the beneficial effects of Welsh onion on fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibitory activities of hot water extracts from the green stalk and white bulb, which are the edible portions of the Welsh onion, and the fibrous root extract against yeast α-glucosidase were...

A new data on 16 species of the digger wasps family Crabronidae from Omsk Province Russia are presented. Dryudella picticornis (Gussakovskij, 1927) is newly recorded Asian part Russia. The tabular checklist 27 provided

Onion (Allium Cepa) contains high levels of flavonoids. Although there are many studies indicating the inhibitory effects of flavonoids on xanthine oxidase, there is no report on the effect of onion on this enzyme. Therefore, in the present study, the inhibitory effects of onion on xanthine oxidase are investigated. Fresh filtered juice of onion was prepared and its inhibitory effect on guine...

onion thrips, thrips tabaci lindeman (thysanoptera: thripidae), is a global pest of onion, Allium cepa l., and the principal vector of iris yellow spot virus (iYsv) that can cause 100% crop losses. the purpose of this study was to evaluate onion cultivars resistant to t. tabaci feeding damage for their reaction to iYsv following exposure to viruliferous t. tabaci in both laboratory and field ex...

Onions are excellent sources of bioactive compounds including fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and polyphenols. An onion by-product was characterised in order to be developed as a potentially bioactive food ingredient. Our main aim was to investigate whether the potential health and safety effects of this onion by-product were shared by either of two derived fractions, an extract containing the on...

In this note we classify all triples (a, b, i) such that there is a convex lattice polygon P with area a, and p respectively i lattice points on the boundary respectively in the interior. The crucial lemma for the classification is the necessity of b ≤ 2 i+7. We sketch three proofs of this fact: the original one by Scott [Sco76], an elementary one, and one using algebraic geometry. As a refinem...

Kathlyn Mayorga’s rape allegation against Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo was mostly met in his home country with disbelief, prompting a strong wave of support for the national icon. Mayorga often perceived as ‘gold digger’. This article explores how traditional gender norms, sex scripts and myths underpinned resignification into case extortion, naturalizing sexual abuse regarding ‘i...
