Legitimacy is always considered an important concept among basic topics of political science; since it has been already posed as the prerequisite of acceptability for exercising of power in the societies through history. Accordingly, all of the political philosophies made efforts to establish an intellectual apparatus that enforces the fundamentals of governance, dealt to some extent with the i...

The LHCb experiment has recently reported two excited ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{c}$ resonances decaying to ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, with masses about 3185 MeV and 3327 MeV. We discuss their assignment $2{S}_{1/2}$ $2{S}_{3/2}$ states, which can be compared based on extrapolation from the observed $1S$ states. agreement is not perfect, but weighs against ...

The spleen (from Greek: splen; Latin: lien) has the shape of a coffee bean, weighs about 150 grams, and is located in the left posterior upper abdomen (epigastric region). Next to such large topics as heart, liver, or lung, the spleen is sometimes a bit neglected in the curriculum; therefore, many students struggle in exams when it comes to questions about the ligaments or blood circulation of ...

We are given n boxes, labeled 1, 2, . . . , n. Box i weighs i grams and can support a total weight of i grams. The number of different ways to build a single stack of boxes in which no box will be squashed by the weight of the boxes above it is denoted by f(n). In a 2006 paper, the first author asked for “congruences for f(n) modulo high powers of 2”. In this note, we accomplish this task by pr...

“Amongst men, forgiveness can only mean: to give up vengeance, to keep quiet and do as if nothing happened, which means: to walk away by principle, while vengeance will always remain with the other and does not put an end to the relationship. ... Reconciliation, on the other hand, originates in the acceptance of what befalls us. ... Whoever reconciles with the other just accepts to carry on his...

Advanced or end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD) results in significant visual impairment and a substantially reduced quality of life for patients. Therapeutic options for people with bilateral moderate or profound vision loss caused by end-stage AMD are limited. Although medical treatment capable of reversing the functional vision loss that results from end-stage AMD is non-existen...

TNF is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in many physiological and pathological conditions through the regulation of immunological reactions. Many of TNF functions have been proven to be cell type-specific, and the specificity of TNF-induced cellular responses in a given cell is determined by the specific intracellular signaling pathways that are activated by TNF. Although...

Drying: moisture measurement at the end of drying is essential to follow up drying course and to decide whether it is achieved or not. On one hand, too long a drying course may have bad consequences for quality and food safety because of unexpected fermentations and mould growth. On the other hand, the next step in the process is storage. Also, drying to a too low moisture content can result in...

Eating a "Western diet" high in fat and sugars is associated with accelerated development of age-related metabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes while incidences of these diseases are decreased on a low-calorie diet. The mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT3 has previously been shown to be important in adapting to metabolic stress brought on by fa...
