The non-uniqueness of the relation between the pressure gradients of
general relativity and its Newtonian counterpart is demonstrated. This may lead
to a non-unique relation between the two force laws.

This paper
describes the sexual practices and perceptions of risk among undergraduate
students attending a tertiary institution in Jamaica. The study was guided by
six research questions. To answer these research questions, a descriptive
survey design was used for the study. A total of 63 undergraduate students were
selected using the stratified random method. Data for the study were collected
through the use of a questionnaire and focus group discussion. The data were coded
and entered into SPS...

Aim: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects tissue against ischemia and
reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of
IPC on protection of hepatocytes after prolonged I/R injury. Methods: Twenty-four
Wistar rats were randomly divided into ischemic preconditioning group (IP), ischemia/reperfusion
group (IR) and sham operation group (SO). A model of partial liver ischemia/reperfusion
was used, in which rats were subjected to liver ischemia for 90 min prior to
reperf...

Dish name translation in literary texts is worth studying; it’s different
from restaurant menu translation. This article differentiates the two translations
by Yang & Yang and Hawkes through studying on the translation of dish names
in Hong Lou Meng and puts forward three
principles and three suggestions from the linguistic level and cultural level, respectively.

We present the case of a 65-year-old woman with an aphakia after a
cataract surgery at the right eye and a pseudophakia (anterior chamber lens) at
the left eye. The two eyes received an intra-ocular lens with sclera fixing of
posterior chamber combined with an anterior vitrectomy. An elevated intraocular
pressure of 25 mmHg and severe ocular pains were observed immediately after the
surgery on the right eye. The far visual acuity (FVA) increased from counting
fingers at 5 m (before the surgery) ...

This paper seeks to describe the farming system and food security as well
as the activities against food insecurity in western
Sudan. The secondary data on farming system and food security were collected
from ministry of agriculture, ministry of health, WFP and FAO, as well as other
relevant sources. Descriptive statistics
analysis was used to analyze the data. The finding shows that the cultivated areas under cash crops are increased
over the time compared with food crops. This is mainly result...

The in vitro anthelmintic evaluation of the
crude extracts and solvent partitions on Pheretima posthuma and Ascarissuum (eggs and L2 stage) respectively showed significant results at the same
concentration (10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/ml). This study
provides a clear evidence for usage of Mucuna pruriens and Canarium schweinfurthii as an anthelmintic. The most
potent ovicidal partition of C. schweinfurthii (Engl) leaves and bark and leaves
...

Conventional ductile iron (DI) and austempered ductile iron (ADI) alloys
were successfully produced. The alloying elements—Ni, Mo, Cr and Mn were added
to get as-cast low-alloyed ductile iron (LADI) followed by austempering heat
treatment. Hardness was measured for all investigated alloys. A hardness conversion
table was deduced for irons investigated. Highest values of calculated quality
index (QI) were for ADI alloys implying higher material performance. Impact
energy values were attributed to...

Turkish tourism was developed as more dependent on external demand until
the 2000s. With the effect of increase in demand of domestic tourism, Turkish
tourism has gained more stable and more balanced structure in the early 21st

in the banking and finance sector play an important role in this increase in
demand for domestic tourism. In parallel to these developments in Turkey,
increasing use of consumer credit has i...

Background: In resource limited settings, many human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infected individuals lack access to sufficient quantities of
nutritious foods, which poses additional challenges to the success of anti-retroviral
therapy. Morbidity and mortality related to human immune deficiency virus
infection in the developing world remain unacceptably high, despite major
advances in human immune deficiency virus therapy and increased international
funding for care. Objective: To determine mag...
