It has been a year since the new millennium began. European jurisprudence in its modern form is one thousand years old. I have been working in the field of law for some 30 years. The biggest change I could like to see in the new millennium is that we might learn to ask questions that are small and clearly defined. There are probably no exact answers to the big questions. I will be true to my co...

A 38-year-old woman with no significant past medical history presented to the emergency department with a 1-day history of diffuse abdominal pain. She reported normal bowel movements up to 1 day prior and was unable to pass anything rectally since. There was no report of fever, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis, or melena. Physical exam demonstrated diffuse abdominal tenderness and normal bowel sou...

ECHOING RURAL TOURISM THROUGH CULINARY YELLOW CHIPS PUMPKIN (YECHIPUM) TYPICAL OF PADUSAN VILLAGE, MOJOKERTOPumpkin can be used as a basic ingredient for making typical village culinary in the form of cookies. However, pumpkin has not been optimally by rural communities traditional regional product, this case, Padusan Village, Mojokerto Regency. This paper aims to: (1) provide education on pote...

Pumpkin flour is a processed product high in carotenoids and good source of nutrients. This nutritional content pumpkin was considered to be influenced by the fruit maturity stage. Therefore, this research aimed evaluate flour's chemical properties, bioactive components, antioxidant activity at different stages. also used honey pumpkins with stage 15, 20,25, 30 days after set( DAFS). The result...

A widely abundant and invasive forest shrub, Eupatorium adenophorum, was pyrolyzed in a cost-efficient flame curtain kiln to produce biochar. The resulting biochar fulfilled all the requirements for premium quality, according to the European Biochar Certificate. The biochar was either applied alone or mixed with fresh cow urine (1:1 volume) to test its capacity to serve as slow release fertiliz...

Attached leaves of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) were treated in high or moderate light at room temperature or a 1 degrees C. The symptoms of photoinhibition appearing during light treatments at room temperature could be attributed to a decrease in the primary activity of PSII. However, when the light treatment was given at 1 degrees C, the quantum yield of photosynthetic oxygen evolution decreas...

Carotenoids, including β-carotene, lycopene, and derivatives, such as retinoic acid, have been studied for their significant antiproliferative and differentiating activity on cancer cells in experimental models and in clinics. We are presenting here data on the mechanism of action of a carotenoid-enriched extract obtained from the pumpkin Cucurbita moschata, variety "long of Naples," on two mal...

Drought, cold and salinity are the major environmental stresses that limit agricultural productivity. NAC transcription factors regulate the stress response in plants. Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is an important cucurbit vegetable crop and it has strong resistance to abiotic stress; however, the biological functions of stress-related NAC genes in this crop are largely unknown. This study repor...

According to predictive coding models of perception, what we see is determined jointly by the current input and the priors established by previous experience, expectations, and other contextual factors. The same input can thus be perceived differently depending on the priors that are brought to bear during viewing. Here, I show that expected (diagnostic) colors are perceived more vividly than a...

In this paper, we present a tabular model of system behavior called Timed Decision Table (TDT). The TDT model is useful for identifying control-data interaction and in performing control-oriented optimizations. TDTs provide an ideal vehicle to implement source-level optimizations on a given behavioral description in a procedural hardware description language (HDL). These optimizations are used ...
