This article discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted my anthropological research inquiry of care among mental health professionals at a community shelter and psychiatric hospital in Equatorial Guinea. The rapidly evolving changes required methods digital anthropology, which allowed an understanding embodiments care. Under volatile conditions intersections between personal public, carried i...

1.1 We prove that: Over any field I of characteristic p > 0, there exists an infinite dimensional Lie algebra which is the join of two (p + l)-dimensional and nilpotent (of class exactly p) subideals. A result of Hartley ([2; p. 259, theorems 2 and 5]) states that over any field of characteristic zero, the join of a pair of finite dimensional (resp. finite dimensional and nilpotent) subideals i...

The papers in this volume of Frontiers all relate to 3D vision. What, then, is a paper about visual stability doing among them? I will argue that these topics are really two sides of the same coin: if we are not to be surprised by the changes in images that occur as we move (we see a stable world), we must have some sort of representation of the 3D environment that has given rise to those image...

A sensory evaluation study was performed at UC Davis to determine if taste differences could be detected among several English walnut (Juglans regia) cultivars. Differences were tested using the duo-trio method, in which 'Hartley' was compared to seven other cultivars. No differences were found when 'Hartley' was compared to 'Vina', 'Scharsch Franquette' and 'Mayette', however 'Chandler', 'Chic...

The authors examined the role of the complement system in host defense against Pseudomonas aeruginosa endophthalmitis. Guinea pigs received intravitreal injections of P. aeruginosa, and comparisons were made between bacterial counts from the vitreous of control guinea pigs and experimental guinea pigs that underwent systemic decomplementation with cobra venom factor. In group 1 (intravitreal in...

On most adrenergic and cholinergic nerve terminals, prejunctional α-adrenoceptors belonging to the α2-subtype have been identified. Activation of these receptors will decrease the release of norepinephrine. It has been reported that several isolated tissue preparations contain prejunctional dopamine receptors, the stimulation of which inhibits neurotransmission. It has remained uncertain whethe...

  Objective(s): In regard to the high incidence of asthma and the side-effects of the drugs used, finding novel treatments for this disease is necessary. Our previous studies demonstrated the preventive effect of Nigella sativa extract on ovalbumin-induced asthma. In addition, water-soluble substances of N. sativa extract and methanol fraction of this plant were responsible for the relaxant eff...
