respectively (Aaker, 2001). Aaker’s (1997) BPS has been used by researchers in a variety of areas, including as a way of comparing brand personality across cultures (Aaker, 2001; Rojas-Mendez, Erenchun-Podlech, & Silva-Olave, 2004), investigating online communication of brand personality, (Okazaki, 2006) and measuring the effects of brand personality on consumers’ responses to clothing brands (Azevedo & Pessoa, 2005; Ismail & Spinelli, 2012). This study uses Aaker’s (1997) BPS dimensions to…
is unknown. Additionally, there is conflicting evidence on the role of OX and OX receptors in blood pressure (BP) regulation. Reports show that blockade of OX receptor type 2 (OX2) in the rostral ventral lateral medulla (RVLM) reduces BP in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) without affecting resting BP. However, humans with narcolepsy, a condition with reduced OX, have a reduced BP at rest. The sleep pattern of these patients exhibit increased arousals and micro-arousals. However, it is…
as walking and cycling paired with mild weight lifting on hypertension. Roughly 30-60 minutes a day can help lower hypertension, dropping BP by about 5 to 7 mm Hg (Circuit brochure). Elevated heartrate through exercise causes the heart to beat faster The heart is strengthened, and is able to pump more blood with less effort. As the stroke volume increases, BP is lowered. (Porth, 2016) The drop-in blood pressure varies across individuals in research as not all elderly people have the ability to…
Cajanus cajan L. cultivar value of each primer was represented in Table 2. Total of 18 bands were obtained for all primers. The size of the amplified bands was ranged between 1000 bp and 300 bp. Primers OP-A5, OP-B4, OP-B9, OP-C5 and OP-E15 showed at least three specific fragments. Primer OP-C5 showed unique fragment at ≈ 820 bp (Table 2). The RAPD banding obtained with the seven RAPD primers was presented in Figure 1a. The banding modality of ISSR-PCR fragments using five qualitative…
Risk assessment of Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig Explosion and Oil Spill and Current Layout Shishir Tripathi Abstract—The explosion and the consequent sinking of Deepwater Horizon oil rig resulted in one of the worst accidental oil spill disaster in the history of petroleum industry. The investigation reports conclude several causes leading to the disaster. The primary cause for the incident, however, is attributed to the negligence and absence of disaster management procedures and protocols. The…
Abstract Bipolar disorder is a mental condition that is associated with the different episodes of the depression.

There are many causes of the bipolar disorder, but one of the main cause is the stressed life events of the patient. The main part of the body that is affected by the bipolar disorder is the brain cells and the nervous system of the human body. The…
Partly the reason lies in the very nature of the two deals. The chief difference between the RIL-BP and Cairn-Vedanta deals is that the former is a farm-out agreement and does not include transfer of control. On the other hand, the Cairn-Vedanta deal is a transaction between two London-listed companies and the money will not flow into India. The Reliance-BP deal, on the contrary, will be the single-largest foreign direct investment (FDI) worth $7.2billiion in the petroleum sector…
The article provides this information, “The commission’s investigators said BP workers failed to ask a knowledgeable company engineer who was visiting the rig about unexpected results from a critical negative pressure test on the rig” (Bagley, 2011). “If anyone had consulted him or any other shore-based engineer, the blowout might…
today’s Psychology, it has some limitations such as lack of Ethics as the following points bellow. Acording to BPS (British Psychological Society) guidelines, the researchers agreed that “harm to research participants must be avoided. Where risks arise as an unavoidable and integral element of the research, robust risk assessment and management protocols should be developed and complied with.”(BPS, 2010, p. 11). Although in the Bobo doll Experiment is not clearly specified if the children…
the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and the British Petroleum (BP) Oil Spill (OSHA, 2011). It occurred on April 20th, 2010 and it was approximately 50 miles southeast of the Mississippi River Delta or 66 km off the Louisiana coast (GCERTF, 2011). BP was the main developer of the Macondo Prospect oil field, which is where the accident occurred (Cleveland, 2013). The Deepwater Horizon was owned by Transocean Limited, who were under a contract with BP (Bozeman, 2011). Halliburton was another company…
