Inhibition of net photosynthesis (Pn) by moderate heat stress has been attributed to an inability of Rubisco activase to maintain Rubisco in an active form. To examine this proposal, the temperature response of Pn, Rubisco activation, chlorophyll fluorescence, and the activities of Rubisco and Rubisco activase were examined in species from contrasting environments. The temperature optimum of Ru...

Background: The results of previous studies suggested that there is an increased risk of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the neonates with lower serum cortisol levels. This study aimed to assess the association between serum cortisol values and PDA and investigate if there is an association between PDA and the antenatal administration of betamethasone. Methods: The present study was carried o...

I would like to thank the organizers of this event for this important teach-in and convening this panel to address the ways in which health professionals have become embroiled in human rights violations against detainees in U.S. custody. Just as the embrace by the Bush Administration of torture as an interrogation strategy led to a corrosion of law, so did it undermine the ethics of the health ...

Double-layer composite water-lubricated bearing is a new type of which can integrate the good damping performance low elastic under-layer bush and tribological plastic layer bush. This paper analyzes its elastohydrodynamic lubrication by fluid–structure interaction (FSI) method, studies effects eccentricity ratio, rotational speed, modulus distribution thickness on performance. Results show tha...

Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) is a plant that grows abundantly in the desert environment. This desert plant has been found naturally growing in heavy-metal contaminated soils. Previous experiments showed that the inactivated biomass of creosote bush was able to adsorb Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The copper-binding capacity of the bush biomass that grows in heavy-metal uncontaminated...

WASHINGTONPresident Bush pledged Tuesday to sub­ mit detailed revisions to Ronald R eagan’s budget next month and suggested highlevel negotiations between the White House and Congress to produce an early agreem ent. The White House acknowl­ edged that Bush had not kept his prom ise to send his team of budget negotiators to Congress on the first day of his presidency. Likewise, it ap­ peared unl...

This article explores the postures of last three former US presidents towards North Korean nuclear issue. The study applies Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis (CDA) model as a new approach to examine this topic. By analyzing 17 speech corpuses, sheds light on foreign policy adapted G. W. Bush, Obama, and Trump address Korea Nuclear Theoretically, uses both Waltz’s Aristotle modes persuasi...

In January 2021 I published an article in the journal ‘Management Education’ entitled ‘Whatever happened to educational management? The case for reinstatement’ (Craig, 2021) which challenged dominant use of word ‘leadership’ education over past 20 years at expense ‘management’, even when it was latter issue that being discussed. This repeats much what said my earlier article, but updates some o...
