However, its aorto/vaso protective impact-based research is still incomprehensible. The present study looks into the regulatory efficacy of scopoletin on aortic lipid profile, radical scavenging status, endothelial factors and aortic morphology in dyslipidemic rats. Rats fed with normal diet serve as control [Group (G) 1], rats fed with cholesterol- enriched diet (CED) (4 % cholesterol and 1 % cholic acid) for 45 days (G2), rats fed with CED for 45 days + scopoletin (10 mg/kg, body weight/day orally) for the last 30 days (G3) and scopoletin alone rats (G4). Blood and aortic tissue were taken immediately and used for various biochemical, histological and molecular analyses. A pronounced increase in the levels of aortic lipid profile, lipid peroxidation along with substantial suppression in the activities of aortic antioxidant and endothelial factor was observed in G2.

  • Augustus Buys Rome
    Augustus buys Rome His conquests made Augustus the richest man of the Roman Republic. He could afford to cover all expenses that up to then had been covered by the whole of the Roman aristocracy together. Thus every citizen of Rome became his client and Augustus unchallenged sole ruler. Augustus buys Rome 01 The enemy is defeated After the Battle of Actium, Egypt fell into the hands of Octavian, the victor. The defeated, Marc Antony and his Egyptian queen, committed suicide. Cleopatra’s death, painting by Jean-Baptiste Regnault, 1796/99, Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf. Source: Wikicommons. Augustus buys Rome 02 Jackpot! Octavian finally had access to the resources of a country that could have been part of the Roman Empire long ago. Egypt was weak, but the senate had refrained from invading it so that no senatorial member could win its enormous resources. From then on the land of the Nile was put directly under the control of the emperor. He considered the ‘Granary of Rome’ his personal property and no one was permitted to set foot on it without his explicit consent. Illustration from ‘Description de l’Egypte’, between 1821 and 1826. Photo: Wikicommons. Augustus buys Rome 03 Fight war to bring peace Octavian’s newly acquired riches allowed for a personality cult like Rome had never seen it before. Coins, statues, buildings and literature from the time all bear witness of Octavian’s celebration of himself as the founder of the golden age. This coin motif alludes to the solemn ceremony in which, during times of peace, the temple doors, the ‘Gates of Janus’, were closed.

  • From Tone to Accent
    This page intentionally left blank Matthew Chen’s landmark study offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the rich and complex patterns of tone used in Chinese languages. Chinese has a wide repertoire of tones which undergo often surprising changes when they are connected in speech flow. The term tone sandhi refers to this tonal alternation. Chen examines tone sandhi phenomena in detail across a variety of Chinese dialects. He explores a range of important theoretical issues such as the nature of tonal representation, the relation of tone to accent, the prosodic domain of sandhi rules, and the interface between syntax and phonology. His book is the culmination of a ten-year research project and offers a wealth of empirical data not previously accessible to linguists. Extensive references and a bibliography on tone sandhi complete this invaluable resource which will be welcomed as a standard reference on Chinese tone. Having taught for many years at the University of California, San Diego, is Professor and chair of Linguistics and Dean of the Humanities and Social Sciences faculty at the City University of Hong Kong. He has written numerous articles on linguistics and is Associate Editor of the Journal of Chinese Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley.

  • The African Telatelist
    The African Telatelist Newsletter 206 of the African Telately Association – August 2015. ___________________________________________________________________________ Frogs & Toads - (C.Edwards & W.Stobrawe) The differences between frogs and toads are very few and are not always clear. Frogs are generally described as small, smooth-skinned, hairless, cold-blooded, carnivorous amphibian creatures of the order SALIENTIA, especially the web-footed aquatic species of the genus RANA and allied genera. Above: (Frog phonecards cards from Holland, Switzerland, Poland,Spain, Turkey and Sweden.) Toads are mostly all of the above, but are terrestrial creatures, of the genus BUFO and related genera. Toads usually have broader, flatter bodies than frogs. They can also be covered in warts, whereas frogs have smooth skins. -3- They are found in every continent except Antarctica and in the harshest of deserts. Generally speaking frogs and toads lay their eggs in or near water. These hatch to become tadpoles which feed on small aquatic life forms, insects and their lava. Within a season they lose their tails, grow legs and emerge from the water as tiny adults. Adults range in size from 1,3cm to 30cm. The largest being the Goliath from West Africa. They live on insects and spiders which they catch with their long sticky tongues. They have long hind legs which assist with swimming and jumping and have the ability to breathe through both their lungs and their skin. As a protection against predators, many secrete a noxious substance through their skin. Most of these substances just leave a bad taste in the mouth of the predator, but some are poisonous and have been used as dart and arrow poisons by people in the tropics.

  • WONG CHEE MENG [F]Ortune of Lives
    WONG CHEE MENG [F]ortune of Lives Wei-LingGallery 1 [F]ortune of Lives WONG CHEE MENG 2 3 I became fascinated with Chinese values and practices ever since I started researching into it over the past six months. I learn a lot from sightings and I am very much attracted to visuals containing shapes, forms, colours, textures et cetera. Beautiful visuals are discovered through sight, normally through observation. Various elements in forms of patterns and motifs can be found in this series of my artworks, mostly a result of my looking, seeing and observing. “Form” generally refers to the shape and structure of art. The innovation of form in this series is creation from creativity, meaning to look into the basic characteristics of traditional auspicious patterns, then recreating its core form with elements, and restructuring new form with the use of abstraction, interception, variation, rearranging compositions and recombination with some other method. Every new form that exists is comprised of a combination of various elements. Some look weird, some look illogical and some look hilarious. Those elements are derived from questioning being a Chinese and seeing the world through the eyes of a Chinese. Besides feelings of translation (what I feel when I look at these elements), boundless experiences through contact with auspicious elements I happened to come across at Chinese coffee shops have become my inspiration. Thereby it becomes an elevation from everyday life into art, as it reflects, reforms my mental image, and is then made visible on canvases. Moreover, I have also done in-depth research on huge values of our traditional elements, and also adding new thoughts into traditional elements resulting in more brilliant surprises and combinations.

  • Engraved Gems
    & Baan (eds) & Baan Bercken den Van ENGRAVED GEMS Many are no larger than a fingertip. They are engraved with symbols, magic spells and images of gods, animals and emperors. These stones were used for various purposes. The earliest ones served as seals for making impressions in soft materials. Later engraved gems were worn or carried as personal ornaments – usually rings, but sometimes talismans or amulets. The exquisite engraved designs were thought to imbue the gems with special powers. For example, the gods and rituals depicted on cylinder seals from Mesopotamia were thought to protect property and to lend force to agreements marked with the seals. This edited volume discusses some of the finest and most exceptional GEMS ENGRAVED precious and semi-precious stones from the collection of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities – more than 5.800 engraved gems from the ancient Near East, Egypt, the classical world, renaissance and 17th- 20th centuries – and other special collections throughout Europe. Meet the people behind engraved gems: gem engravers, the people that used the gems, the people that re-used them and above all the gem collectors. This is the first major publication on engraved gems in the collection of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden since 1978.
