Recent opinions that Israel’s covenants and promises are missing in Rev 20:1-10 have rested on poor hermeneutical foundations. Three major OT covenants with Israel are prominent throughout the Apocalypse and therefore are foundational to what John writes in chapter 20. God promised Abraham a people who are quite visible in Revelation 7, 12, and 14, and in 2:9 and 3:9, where physical descendants...

816 November 2014, Vol. 104, No. 11 Choledochal malformations (CMs) may be characterised by inherent dilatation of the biliary tree without evidence of mechanical obstruction. Dilatation varies from florid and cystic to subtle and fusiform, and was first recognised during postmortem dissection by the German anatomist Abraham Vater, who reported his findings in his 1723 thesis.[1] The objective ...

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is psychological theory developed in 1943 by Abraham Maslow in his essay “A Theory of Human Motivation.” His theory shares similarities with many other theories of human developmental psychology, which focus on explaining the stages of human growth and development. The Hierarchy of Needs suggests that impetus for human behavior stems from the drive to fulfill certain...

In Beyond the horizon, Amma Darko uses words in unique ways to bring subject of gender representations and abuse women fore. Employing a stylistics framework analysis, this study investigates text’s parallelisms deviations, interprets uncovers implied underlying meanings issues related novel. The analysis reveals how through patterned repetitions sentences, as well some language deviations text...

based on the quran, this article is to answer whether the quran believes in the legitimacy of social classes and what the charactristics of social classes are. after defining social classes and presenting their classifications, the writer claims the quran does not legitimize the existence of social classes, but it emphasizes on seeking proximity to allah and his favour.

abd allah b.sa’d, believed in islam and for a short time recorded divine revelations; but then he lost his faith. historical studies prove that his apostasy has no relation to writing celestial words. but story-writers who often lack an analytical mind, perhaps credulously or tendentiously connect his blaspheme to the act of recording sacred verses. these unfounded stories have entered history ...

Who of us has not wondered about the striking differences between what Paul says regarding Abraham's justification in Romans 4:1–3 and what James says regarding Abraham's justification in James 2:21–24? Paul declares that Abraham, like all true believers, was justified by faith apart from works. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.… What then shall we sa...

The polar flagellum of Vibrio alginolyticus is rotated by the sodium motor. The stator unit of the sodium motor consists of four different proteins: PomA, PomB, MotX and MotY. MotX and MotY, which are unique components of the sodium motor, form the T-ring structure attached to the LP ring in the periplasmic space. MotY has a putative peptidoglycan-binding motif in its C-terminal region and MotX...

The recombinant expression of soluble proteins in Escherichia coli continues to be a major bottleneck in structural genomics. The establishment of reliable protocols for the performance of small-scale expression and solubility testing is an essential component of structural genomic pipelines. The SSGCID Protein Production Group at the University of Washington (UW-PPG) has developed a high-throu...

BACKGROUND Functional Genomics, the systematic characterisation of the functions of an organism's genes, includes the study of the gene products, the proteins. Such studies require methods to express and purify these proteins in a parallel, time and cost effective manner. RESULTS We developed a method for parallel expression and purification of recombinant proteins with a hexahistidine tag (H...
