Forty-four patients with allergic (ABA) and non-allergic (NABA) variants of bronchial asthma (BA) were examined to evaluate levels of key adipokines (leptin, resistin, adiponectin) in sputum in different variants of BA.Adipokines in sputum and blood plasma were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).The indices that reflect the perce
This paper explores how dancehall lyrics reproduce heterosexist and homophobic discourses in the LGBTQ community within a Caribbean dancehall context.It advances notable scholarship (Chunnu 2021, Hope, 2021) on dancehall lyrics by drawing on standard parallels of the colonial same-sex practices used to denigrate enslaved Africans and the Eurocentri
The aim of the present work is to test a novel Reverse Unidirectional Flushing (R-UDF) approach to achieve an enhanced removal rate of iron oxide particles from drinking water pipes.The project utilized a full-scale PVC pipe loop laboratory system to successfully isolate direction Pants as a particle mobilization factor.Even after successive flushi
The primary focus of this research is to determine the optimal stirrup configuration to prevent shear failure.This 3 IN 1 project aims to investigate the behavior of beam-column joint frames under concentrated loads.Specimens with dimensions of 700mm x 500mm and cross-sectional dimensions of 200mm x 100mm, using M30 Grade concrete, were prepared fo
Lavender species form the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and are at the same time highly susceptible to white root rot.In an attempt to evaluate the response of mycorrhizal Lavandula angustifolia L.to Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr) Pants P.Kumm in a greenhouse experiment, plants were previously inoculated with an isolate of the arbuscular mycorrhiza
