32 The rising costs of complying with supervisory demands have brought the issue of regulatory burden to the attention of both lawmakers and bank regulators. But one relatively underappreciated aspect of regulatory burden is the potential for the supervisory process to impose conflicting demands on banks. In October 1977, Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) as Title VIII of the...

This review examines the one humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) a considerable number of the dromedary about 50,000 is found in the semi-arid part of Northern Nigeria. Apart from the wide use of the camel as a draught animal the camel now serve as a source of milk, meat and hide in this region, these notes examines the anatomical basis of reproduction, pregnancy, and its diagnosis, fertility, a...

AIM As the labeled anti-camel immunoglobulins (Igs) with enzymes for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are unavailable in the Egyptian market, the present investigation was directed for developing local labeled anti-camel IgG with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to save hard curacy. MATERIALS AND METHODS For purification of camel IgG whole molecule, camel sera was preliminary precipitate...

Camel health management has implications for public health and camel product trade. After liberalization of the veterinary service, current camel health management in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALS) of Kenya and its implications for public health is not known. This study investigated camel health management and its implications on zoonoses and food safety in Isiolo County, Kenya. Semi-stru...

Camel milk requires more calf rennet than cow milk to coagulate and the relative amount of rennet needed varies widely (2, 8, 14, 16). Extracts of adult camel abomasa have been used to coagulate cow milk with success (5, 6, 7). However, these enzymes have not been tried on camel milk. Rennet extracts from lamb and cow calves were found to be more effective with the milk of the respective specie...

Given an even cyclic (+1; 1) sequence s = (s0; :::; s2n 1) which consists of n plus ones and n minus ones, let us compute i+ j (mod 2n) for all n2 (+1; 1)-pairs (si; sj) and distribute obtained n2 numbers between 2n "boxes" 1; 2; :::; 2n 1; 2n = 0 (mod 2n). The average cardinality of a box is n2 2n = n2 . Some sequences have quite remarkable box-distributions, "almost average everywhere with tw...

CD4(+) Th cells play an important role in the induction and maintenance of adequate CD8(+) T cell-mediated antitumor responses. Therefore, identification of MHC class II-restricted tumor antigenic epitopes is of major importance for the development of effective immunotherapies with synthetic peptides. CAMEL and NY-ESO-ORF2 are tumor Ags translated in an alternative open reading frame from the h...

The natural creaming of raw and heated camel milk was studied. Compared with cow (Bos taurus) milk, camel (Camelus dromedarius) milk showed very slow creaming rate in both raw and heated milk at refrigerator and room temperatures. Fat globule size distribution was similar in cow and camel milks. The creaming ability was also studied in various combinations of skim milks and creams of raw camel ...

Few published studies have reported the use of crude camel milk in the treatment of stomach infections, tuberculosis and cancer. Yet, little research was conducted on the effect of camel milk on the apoptosis and oxidative stress associated with human cancer. The present study investigated the effect and the underlying mechanisms of camel milk on the proliferation of human cancer cells using an...
