Early in this century it was observed that aqueous extracts of animal tissues were capable of inhibiting the activity of catalase in vitro (~). More recently it has been found that either normal adult or growing tissues are very rich in catalase-inhibitory substances (1, 7). I n vivo experiments showed tha t the catalase activity of the liver of rats and mice bearing tumors was 50 per cent of t...

It is often necessary to find a simpler method in different climatic regions to calculate reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) since the application of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method is often restricted due to the unavailability of a comprehensive weather dataset. Seven ETo methods, namely the standard FAO-56 Penman-Monteith, the FAO-24 Radiation, FAO-24 Blaney Criddle, 1985 Hargreaves, P...

This article provides an overview of research into the hidden curriculum. Following a consideration of functionalist, liberal and critical research studies, I focus in particular on recent insights which have arisen from postmodern thinking. In the light of postmodernism, I identify a personal perspective on how to study the hidden curriculum which moves beyond the established boundaries of dis...

In the present study, we evaluated omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) (consisting of 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3) properties on inflammation and nociception. Among the in vivo tests, writhing, formalin, and hot plate tests were conducted in mice, and carrageenan-induced paw edema, peritonitis, and Hargreaves tests were performed in rats. Following the carrageenan-induced edema, immunohistochemis...
