The lion-bull iconography during the Achaemenian period of ancient Persia has generated different theories of astronomicaland seasonal events besides the suggestions that it could be the symbol of the time cycle of the day, with lion representingthe sun and bull the night. However, the present paper draws the reader’s attention to the hitherto unexplored angle ofzoology to understand physiognom...

We study top quark Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode mixing in the Randall-Sundrum scenario with all the SM fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk. Even though the simple assumption of universal bulk fermion mass mψ leads to the same KK mass spectrum for all the SM fermions and thus suppresses new contributions to the flavor changing neutral current and the ρ parameter, large Yukawa coupling of the top qua...

Development of internal browning and some associated biochemical and physicochemical changes were investigated in the pineapple cultivar Mauritius (syn. Queen) and compared with those of a lesser susceptible cultivar Kew (syn. Smooth Cayenne). The study was expected to identify the major factors underlying the cultivar resistance to the disorder. Three-week long storage trials were conducted si...

the role of institutions in science and society. On a practical level, she seems unaware of such interesting historical issues as the difficult birth of Kew Gardens and its struggle for pre-eminence with the Botany Department of the British Museum. Kew prospered because of its decision to concentrate on economic botany, an area in which the British Museum was unable to operate. The question of ...

BACKGROUND Bullying (Bull) is a public health problem worldwide, and Mexico is not exempt. However, its epidemiology and early detection in our country is limited, in part, by the lack of validated tests to ensure the respondents' anonymity. The aim of this study was to validate a self-administered test (Bull-M) for assessing Bull among high-school Mexicans. METHODS Experts and school teacher...
