In recent years, a significant number of metabolites with potent anti-inflammatory properties have been discovered from marine organisms, and several of these compounds are now under clinical trials. In the present study, we isolated 11-epi-sinulariolide acetate (Ya-s11), a cembrane-type compound with anti-inflammatory effects, from the Formosa soft coral Sinularia querciformis. Preliminary scr...

We give a new geometrical interpretation of the local analytic solutions to a differential system, which we call a tautological system τ , arising from the universal family of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces Ya in a G-variety X of dimension n. First, we construct a natural topological correspondence between relative cycles in Hn(X − Ya,∪D − Ya) bounded by the union of G-invariant divisors ∪D in X to t...

Humans may lose large amounts of water and electrolytes from sweat during prolonged exercise in a hot climate. Gender and maturational differences for the total sweat electrolyte losses have not been reported. The purpose of this study was to compare sweat electrolyte losses of prepubescent (PP), pubescent (P) and young adult (YA) males and females, under the same environmental conditions and r...

Two species of fibrinogen that differ only in the structure of their y chains, yA and y', are present in normal plasma. Fibrinogen stored in platelet a granules does not contain y' chains. Because platelet fibrinogen was recently shown to be derived exclusively by receptor-mediated endocytosis from plasma and not by endogenous megakaryocyte synthesis, we postulated that the y' fibrinogen presen...

Background: Determining the genetic gender has been a human's inaccessible will during the history. Today science resolves the problem; pre implantation diagnosis (PGD) is used as a method of genetic disease diagnosis and gender determination. The holy Quran in many verses ascribes genetic gender determination and recognition to Allah, the Almighty. Hence, according to some, genetic gender...

Suppose A is an Abelian p-group and α is an ordinal such that A/pA is a direct sum of countable groups. It is shown that A has a nice basis if, and only if, pA has a nice basis. This strengthens an earlier result of ours in Bull. Allah. Math. Soc. (2011) proved when α < ω.

Wahyu adalah suatu usaha Allah yang dapat dilihat dari perkataan dan apa Ia lakukan dengan tujuan untuk menyatakan diri-Nya kehendak-Nya kepada manusia. Dengan cara itu Dia diri manusia mengenalNya. Akan tetapi pengetahuan akan menjadi sangat terbatas karena minimnya kesadaran tentang pewahyuan. Penelitian ini mengkaji “Penyataan Alkitab" sebagai sebuah sumber pewahyuan melengkapi semakin menam...
