BACKGROUND There are several health benefits that honeybee products such as honey, propolis, and royal jelly claim toward various types of diseases in addition to being food. SCOPE AND APPROACH In this paper, the effects of honey, propolis, and royal jelly on different metabolic diseases, cancers, and other diseases have been reviewed. The modes of actions of these products have also been ill...

The πN → KY and KY → KY reactions are studied using a dynamical coupled-channel model of meson-baryon interactions at energies where the baryon resonances are strongly excited. The channels included are: πN , KΛ, and KΣ. The resonances considered are: N [S11(1650), P11(1710), P13(1720), D13(1700)]; ∆ ∗ [S31(1900), P31(1910), P33(1920)]; Λ ∗ [S01(1670), P01(1810)] Σ [P11(1660), D13(1670)]; and K...

A block to polyspermy in amphibians is established at fertilization by the conversion of the vitelline envelope to the fertilization envelope. In Xenopus laevis a major ultrastructural change in the envelope at fertilization is the appearance of an electron-dense layer, termed the F layer, between the envelope and the inner-most jelly coat layer, J(1). The F layer is derived, at least in part, ...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are damaging for aquatic organisms such as amphibians. In this study, toxicity of a mixture of three PAHs (naphthalene (2 rings), phenanthrene (3 rings) and pyrene (4 rings)) was tested on Common frog (Rana temporaria) embryos. The protective role of the jelly coat surrounding the eggs was studied by exposing embryos with and without jelly coat to PAHs di...

BACKGROUND Global population aging will result in increasing rates of cognitive decline and dementia. Thus, effective, low-cost, and low side-effect interventions for the treatment and prevention of cognitive decline are urgently needed. Our study is the first to investigate the effects of Kundalini yoga (KY) training on mild cognitive impairment (MCI). METHODS Older participants (≥55 years o...

We propose an approach to the filtering of infinite sets of stochastic signals, KY and KX. The known Wiener-type approach cannot be applied to infinite sets of signals. Even in the case when KY and KX are finite sets, the computational work associated with the Wiener approach becomes unreasonably hard. To avoid such difficulties, a new theory is studied. The problem addressed is as follows. Giv...
