information security consulting firms (e.g. Portcullis, Security Alliance, Pentest Limited, etc.). The perceived leader in the field is Cigital, one of the strong international names, with local presence in the UK. 4.1.3.Target Services The entire range of Software Assurance service line services can be presented to clients who are interested in software assurance; some clients will have their own software development capabilities while others, who are purchasing critical applications, might…

adductor pollicis of the hand only generated below 30% the maximum voluntary contraction when no muscle recruitment was integrated. Hence, a conclusion was established that recruitment played a critical role in the production of contractile force range (Clamann et al, 1981, 45-55). This study supports the data on Figure 1 because the upward trend reflected increments of motor recruitment. Additionally, the linear trend indicated an increase in tension, thus correlating with the results of the…

For over a decade there has been significant debate on the concept of high commitment/ best practice model of Human Resource Management (HRM).The idea conceived in US academics and later spread to Britain claims that a particular bundle of Human Resources (HR) practices have the potential to enhance worker attitude and behaviour leading to lower level of absenteeism and labour turnover, ensuring better quality and customer service, thereby increasing organizational performance. The ultimate goal…

Identification and characterization of differentially expressed gene(s) in pigeonpea genotypes in response to Helicoverpa armigera infestation Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)millspaugh] is an important food legume predominantly cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa almost exclusively as a rainfed crop. It is a diploid (2n = 22), often cross-pollinated crop with a genome size of 833.07 Mbp (Varshney et al., 2012). Globally, it is cultivated on an area of 4.92 M ha…

Heroin: A new epidemic with an old drug The first ever opioid, opium, comes from the sap of opium poppies. Cultivation and growth date back to ancient civilizations around 3400 B.C. In the early 18th century physicians used opium for a therapeutic agent that had multiple purposes, but mostly for relieving pain. It was only towards the late 18th century that some physicians began to recognize that the drug had extremely addictive qualities. Codeine and morphine are isolated forms of opium.…

Stressors may vary from daily hassles to major life events. Typically, during the initial exposure to a stress, our brains appraise the stress and set off a cascade of regulatory responses, that is, activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex system (HPA axis) and the sympathetic nervous. Various hormones including corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic-releasing hormone (ACTH)…

1. Neurogenesis and memory 1.1. Neurogenesis in the hippocampus The hippocampus is a brain region that responsible for learning, memory and mood. One of the important reasons for memory and mood dysfunction is the dentate gyrus (DG) reduction [12, 13]. The subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of neural progenitor cells generated neurons and glia in adulthood and during adulthood [14]. Neurogenesis also have a role in mood regulation; the dorsal hippocampus is an…

The proximate composition of purple soymilk (Table 1) is not much different from that of yellow soymilk. Purple soymilk has protein, ash, fat, carbohydrate and moisture content 2.76 ± 0.13, 0.12 ± 0.08, 1.17 ± 0.06, 1.27 ± 0.10, and 94.69 ± 0.04% respectively, while yellow soymilk from Tunde-Akintunde and Souley [35] has a protein content of 2.23-3.05%, ash content of 0.24-0.32%, fat content of 1.60-1.94%, carbohydrate content of 1.99-2.78% and moisture content of 92.02-93.29%. Black soybean…

Discussion The mechanism of arsenic-induced neurotoxicity is not well defined. Several metabolites of arsenic are able to pass through the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in the hippocampus and some other locations [13]. This affects the intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis and ultrastructures of hippocampal neurons. In relation to the amino acid neurotransmission, report reveal that arsenic-induced excessive glutamate accumulation in the extracellular space induces excitotoxicity [29]. Arsenic…

body. An elevated serum level, together with local factors, can results into the joints, tendons and surrounding tissue (Finney, 2014). Once crystals are deposited into a joint, they can be released into the joint space and initiate an inflammatory cascade causing a gouty arthritis. These acute flares resolve, but the crystals remain in the joint (Schumacher, 2008). Annie is prescribed for Ibuprofen 200-400mg and…
