The Impact of Life Style and Nutritional Components in Primary Prevention Colorectal CancerSaad Sabbar Dahham, Amin Malik Abdul Majid

To the Editor: We read with great interest the study by Majid et al describing pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and flow-volume loops in patients with tracheobronchomalacia.1 A central question is whether abnormalities in the PFT results and flow-volume loops are attributable to tracheobronchomalacia or concomitant lungdisease (eg,COPDorasthma). A secondary question that remains unaddressed is w...

By viewing Clifford algebras as algebras in some suitable symmetric Gr-categories, Albuquerque and Majid were able to give a new derivation of some well known results about Clifford algebras and to generalize them. Along the same line, Bulacu observed that Clifford algebras are weak Hopf algebras in the aforementioned categories and obtained other interesting properties. The aim of this paper i...

Foundationalism and coherentism in epistemology, like so many other polar philosophical positions, have been going through periodic bouts of trials and tribulations to the delight of each other’s opponent. In the recent cycle of this ongoing saga, coherentism has suffered a severe blow from the defection of Laurence BonJour, as one of its most prominent and persistent defenders, to the oppositi...

Braided-Lie bialgebras have been introduced by Majid, as the Lie versions of Hopf algebras in braided categories. In this paper we extend previous work of Majid and of ours to show that there is a braided-Lie bialgebra associated to each inclusion of Kac–Moody bialgebras. Doing so, we obtain many new examples of infinite-dimensional braided-Lie bialgebras. We analyze further the case of untwist...

A new Cercospora species, namely, C. neriicola Ershad on Nerium oleandercollected in Iran was described and illustrated. The new species was compared with C. nerii-indici, the other species on Nerium.

A new species of Tilletia, T. rostrariae Vánky & Ershad on Rostraria cristata is described and illustrated from Iran. It is compared with T. salzmannii, on the closely related Koeleria, and with the polyphagous T. bromi.
