It highlights some reactions to this event, as well more recent academic analyses, and contrasts them with letter Nhat Hanh who disagreed that was protest or suicide. ontological discrepancy motivated new research approaches. In order show it studyable, thematizes by introducing conceptual pair ...

soil enzyme activities can be used as indicators of soil quality for assessing the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of barley residue input rate, burning, urea fertilizer and tillage management on activities of alkaline phosphatase and urease under field conditions, after a period of 90 days. the experiment was carried out based...

β-glucosidase is involved in the degradation of cellulose in soil and has the potential for monitoring biological soil quality. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of barley residue placement, burning, nitrogen fertilizer and tillage management on β-glucosidase enzyme after a period of 90 days. a field experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design with ...

We present a detailed study of s-process nucleosynthesis in massive stars of solar-like initial composition and masses 15, 20, 25, and 30 M⊙. We update our previous results of s-process nucleosynthesis during the core He-burning of these stars and then focus on an analysis of the s-process under the physical conditions encountered during the shell-carbon burning. We show that the recent compila...

Michelitsch and Rossler in 1992 have applied seemingly small changes in complex analytic Mandelbrot set function and it makes a remarkable difference in the appearance of obtained fractal images. They named it burning ship as the image looks like a ship is going up in flame. The purpose of this paper is to explore the unidentified geometrical structure of various fractal images after applying i...

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is an enigmatic, misunderstood, and under-recognized painful condition. Symptoms associated with BMS can be varied, thereby providing a challenge for practitioners and having a negative impact on oral health-related quality of life for patients. Management also remains a challenge for practitioners because it is currently only targeted for symptom relief without a d...
