Pluralism Assimilation and the Indo-Guyanese family ii ABSTRACT Despite the acknowledgment of pluralism, Caribbean family literature often focuses on the Afro-Caribbean family and does not satisfactorily address the issues of the Indo-Caribbean family. This paper examines whether the Indo-Guyanese differ from the dominant culture of the Anglophone Caribbean in the structural arrangements of the...

BACKGROUND The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), indomethacin (Indo), has a large number of divergent biological effects, the molecular mechanism(s) for which have yet to be fully elucidated. Interestingly, Indo is highly amphiphilic and associates strongly with lipid membranes, which influence localization, structure and function of membrane-associating proteins and actively regulat...

INTRODUCTION The Indo-Guyanese population is the largest immigrant minority population in Schenectady, New York. A clinic-based study in Schenectady and surveillance reports from Guyana found high diabetes prevalence and mortality among Guyanese of Indian descent. No community-based study has focused on diabetes among Indo-Guyanese immigrants in the United States. We sought information on the p...

The term 'lndo-Anglian' is used to denote original literary creation in the English language by Indians. Today there are a large number of educated Indians who use as medium creative exploration' and expression their experiences life. Their writings have now developed intoa substantial literature its own right it this body which referred Indo-Anglian literature.

Here, we explore the new application of an old molecule. We find that the tetraphenylethene-indolium molecule (TPE-indo) can both image the mitochondria (in the aggregated state), and indicate mitochondrial activity by the fluorescence change of TPE-indo. TPE-indo shows good photostability, longer emission wavelength, targeting effect for mitochondria, and better response to the changes of the ...

The aim of the study was to assess the small intestine permeability by using lactulose as a sugar probe and blood metabolites in sheep after a challenge with repeated indomethacin injections. According to a changeover design, 7 adult sheep (4 males and 3 females) were subjected to 4 intramuscular injections (every 12 h) of saline [control (CRT); 7 animals] or indomethacin (INDO; 7 animals). Two...

In this study, mitochondrial DNA analysis using 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was performed to investigate the phylogeny relationship of Trichiurus lepturus in the Persian Gulf compared to the other investigated area. The amplification of 16S rDNA resulted in a product of 600 bp in all samples. The results showed that the isolated strain belongs to T. lepturus showing 42 divergence sites among the s...

Over the past three decades, coral reefs worldwide have experienced significant losses in living coral cover and changes in the structure and function of these communities. Infectious diseases have been recognized as a prominent cause of mortality in scleractinian corals in the western Atlantic since the 1980’s, but until recently there were few reports of coral disease from the Indo-Pacific re...

Aphoristia (= Symphurus) orientalis Bleeker 1879, collected from an unspecified depth and location in Japanese waters, is the first described species of symphurine tonguefish from Indo-Pacific waters. The original description with accompanying illustration is based on the unique holotype specimen and provides limited diagnostic characters for this taxon. Subsequent to its description, the holot...

In this century two great discoveries have shaken our view of the Indo—European family tree and protolanguage. The first was the discovery of Hittite, which in turn revealed the existence of an Anatolian branch of Indo—European; the second was the discovery in Central Asia of languages belonging to the previously unknown Tocharian branch of the family. Yet as important as these are, they are no...
