In his article "A Comparative Literary History of Resurrection Plants" John Charles Ryan assembles a comparative history of resurrection plants through textual analysis of early botanical commentaries, herbal references, prose, poetry, and other sources. Resurrection plants include a diverse range of botanical species, typically of arid regions, that appear to come back to life after complete d...

based on some important factors such as abstraction of imagination and also the power of soul on creation external imagery, molla sadra utters his claim about bodily resurrection and creation of eternal body by soul. and also he clarifies the way of creation and its quality. examining and understanding the dominant system on the world and resurrection, leads us to this point that in the world c...

We introduce the resurrection axioms, a new class of forcing axioms, and the uplifting cardinals, a new large cardinal notion, and prove that various instances of the resurrection axioms are equiconsistent over ZFC with the existence of an uplifting car-

Research into extreme drought tolerance in resurrection plants using species such as Craterostigma plantagineum, C. wilmsii, Xerophyta humilis, Tortula ruralis, and Sporobolus stapfianus has provided some insight into the desiccation tolerance mechanisms utilized by these plants to allow them to persist under extremely adverse environmental conditions. Some of the mechanisms used to ensure cell...

John Jackson has claimed that the only way all of the features observed on the Shroud of Turin could have been formed would involve the body becoming "mechanically transparent" concomitant with the appearance of a flux of vacuum-ultraviolet photons. The photons would produce the image as the cloth fell through the volume previously occupied by the body. This would explain the appearance of imag...

When the church faces death, it encounters a critical moment when it may know the power of resurrection. But the church can only know this power in actually facing its death. Resurrection is not an abstraction or a mere possibility; resurrection is impossibility, that is, it cannot be counted on in the normal course of events. It is not a guarantee. It lies on the other side of that which canno...

Resurrection plants can tolerate extreme water loss. Substantial sugar accumulation is a phenomenon in resurrection plants during dehydration. Sugars have been identified as one important factor contributing to desiccation tolerance. Phylogenetic diversity of resurrection plants reflects the diversity of sugar metabolism in response to dehydration. Sugars, which accumulate during dehydration, h...

Water is a major limiting factor in growth and reproduction in plants. The ability of tissues to survive desiccation is commonly found in seeds or pollen but rarely present in vegetative tissues. Resurrection plants are remarkable as they can tolerate almost complete water loss from their vegetative tissues such as leaves and roots. Metabolism is shut down as they dehydrate and the plants becom...
