In this essay, I affirm the univocity thesis while discussing some alternative positions that avoid problem of evil by rejecting thesis. reject Sterba’s assumption God’s governance creation is adequately understood as an analogy to good a politically liberal democracy. suggest commitment Pauline principle forces dilemma between significant human freedom and meticulous divine intervention. Final...

To follow-up the present study, 40 mature female rats were used. The animals were divided into test,control and sham groups. The rats in the test group were laparotomized and unilateral ovariectomy was done. On the 1st and 2nd met-oestrous after operation, the tissue samples were dissected out and processed for histological study. The intact ovary in the test group underwent a significant (P

Ecology contributes to management of animal pests in two ways: by defining the precise damage done by the suspect and finding efficient methods of reducing the population to numbers compatible with land use. The latter is the most sought-after service because it concerns development and evaluation of efficient control methods; and herein lies, perhaps, the great bogey of pest control, for this ...

Forty-eight hours after unilateral nephrectomy in young male Sprague-Dawley rats the concentrations of free methionine, alanine and tyrosine in renal cortical tissue were increased by 15-65 percent while the corresponding plasma concentrations decreased by 23-35 percent. The renal cortical concentrations of valine and leucine increased by 41 percent and 26 percent while plasma concentrations re...

Compensatory growth where animals compensate for time stress or transient nutritional or thermal stress by accelerating their growth rate is widespread. We know, however, relatively little about the evolution and ecological correlates of compensatory growth. For this we need studies on congeneric species with known phylogenetic relationships that also focus on the associated largely understudie...

In this essay, I revisit the univocity thesis, Sterba’s analogy between God and a leader of politically liberal society, and, most fundamentally, whether existence horrendous evils is logically compatible with good God. concede that typical appeals to free will greater goods defenses block logical problem evil are not sufficient because they do adequately address all too much feature human exis...

We have previously demonstrated that aging reduces the compensatory vasodilator response during hypoxic exercise due to blunted nitric oxide (NO) signaling. Recent evidence suggests that NO bioavailability can be augmented by dietary nitrate through the nitrate-nitrite pathway. Thus we tested the hypothesis that acute dietary nitrate supplementation increases the compensatory vasodilator respon...
