Soybean-derived peptides exert several beneficial effects in various experimental models. However, only a few studies have focused on the radical scavenging and anti-wrinkle of soymilk-derived produced via different processes, such as fermentation, enzymatic treatment, ultrafiltration. Therefore, this study, we investigated antiwrinkle soymilk fractions using these processes. We found that 50SF...

To the Academy is a multi-media performance work that makes poignant and humorous commentary about education, common paradigms of diversity, oppressive nature institutional labor. Created through dialogue between myself, an Indian American with training in various forms physical theatre dance, Guyanese-Canadian actor Marc Gomes, it has been performed at several universities arts centers since 2...

Critical to the success of analog synthesis in VASE is the accuracy of analog performance estimation at various levels of abstraction. The analog performance estimator (APE) in VASE is used during mixed signal partitioning, analog behavior synthesis as well as analog circuit synthesis. APE is capable of accepting the design parameters (bias current) of an analog component as input and determine...

Our closest relative the chimpanzee seems to display proto-moral behavior. Some scholars emphasize the similarities between humans and chimpanzees, others some key differences. This paper aims is to formulate a set of intermediate conditions between a sometimes helpful chimpanzee and moral man. I specify these intermediate conditions as requirements for the chimpanzees, and for each requirement...

In the wake of telling critiques of the foundations on which earlier conclusions were based, the last 15 years have witnessed a renaissance in the study of social learning in apes. As a result, we are able to review 31 experimental studies from this period in which social learning in chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans has been investigated. The principal question framed at the beginning of t...

An alpha-male chimpanzee allots mating opportunities with receptive females in return for support from potential competitors. Although ubiquitous among humans and apparently rare among animals, exchange of one currency for another -- in this case sex for power -- may not be cognitively demanding.

“Researchers have for the first time taught apes how to speak. Two animals, a pygmy chimp and an orang-utan, have been able to hold conversations with humans.” The report in the Sunday Times on 25 July was crystal clear, its unambiguity strengthened by the headline: “Scientists teach chimpanzees to speak English.” (What next? French? Gaelic?) Contrast this with the Daily Telegraph the next day....
