Abstract. This article is an effort in developing the church ecclesiology as ecological community. The was based on reality of damage that currently occurring, especially Kei Islands-Southeast Maluku. To develop community, Colossians 1:15-20 interpreted using cosmic hermeneutics so there a fusion horizons between theological meaning text and context islands- Moluccas. Based interpretation proce...

Local breeds are known to possess favorable characteristics such as resistance to some pathogens, superior meat flavor and taste and high dressing percentage. Due to these characteristics, higher consumption of meat product from local chickens has been on increase in countries such as East Asia and Europe and consumers are willing to pay premium price. There are four locally available chicken b...

A rack of order n is a binary operation B on a set X of cardinality n, such that right multiplication is an automorphism. More precisely, (X,B) is a rack provided that the map x 7→ x B y is a bijection for all y ∈ X, and (x B y) B z = (x B z) B (y B z) for all x, y, z ∈ X. The paper provides upper and lower bounds of the form 2cn 2 on the number of isomorphism classes of racks of order n. Simil...

The mitogenicity of insulin, insulin growth factor (IGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) was evaluated on rabbit lenses cultured in medium KEI-4. IGF, the most highly purified of the insulin-like growth factors was a potent mitogen for mammalian lens epithelia cells. IGF and EGF triggered cell proliferation throughout the normally amitotic central and pre-equatorial region of the epithelium....

FROM TIME TO TIME, we like to highlight articles authored by winners of the awards offered by the American Physiological Society. The Endocrinology and Metabolism section of APS conferred the 2007 Young Scientist Award to Kei Sakamoto, PhD. Kei is a prolific young scientist who has contributed to the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism with numerous publications and by s...

The genetic diversity of four protected indigenous chicken breeds was evaluated with 25 microsatellite markers. Polymorphism information content (PIC), heterozygosity with the estimator of genetic differentiation FST and Nei’s genetic distance were evaluated. The results showed that these four protected local chicken populations showed high levels of diversity. The proportion of inter-populatio...
