As far as the relationship of generation of each of the five elements is concerned, it is composed of two aspects--promoting and being promoted. The element that promotes is called the mother, while the element that is promoted is called the child. Hence, the relation of promoting and being promoted among the five elements is also known as that of mother and child. Take fire for example, since fire produces earth, it is called the mother of earth; on the other hand it is produced by wood, so it is called the child of wood. Restriction connotes bringing under control or restraint.

This project was funded by WWF-UK as part of its One Planet Food Programme (2009-2012). The programme aims to reduce the global environmental and social impacts of UK food consumption and help safeguard the natural world, tackle climate change and the way we live. It is intended to stimulate debate about how changes in the UK diet may go some way towards achieving the programme goals outlined in Box 1. Given the short timeframe and scope of the present project, the work focused on the first of the One Planet Food Programme goals, which is to reduce GHGEs from...

An estimated 1.5 million deaths occur annually as a result of household air pollution from SFU mainly for cooking as well as winter season heating. The total disease burden, including morbidity, is estimated at 36 million DALYs (WHO 2007). 3 These deaths and DALYs arise mainly from acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in young children and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, and to a lesser extent lung cancer. There is also moderate evidence of increased risk of asthma, cataracts and tuberculosis (Desai et al, 2004; Smith et al, 2004).

The presence or lack of these five factors was the determinant of the role of religion in the given conflict. Due to the nature of this methodology these are debateable findings. For instance one leader may declare simply ‘May God bless us and watch over us’ whereas another may declare that ‘God calls us, his chosen people, to annihilate our enemies’. Both are employing a religious discourse yet there is clearly a difference in severity. Measuring this difference is...

Conservators have many specializations, from paintings to works of art on paper to photography, and more. Those who specialize in outdoor sculpture also have subspecialties (bronze, stone, wood, and so forth). Begin by locating several people whose skills and experience are comparable and appear to match your needs. Professional qualifications are always the most important criterion. Geographic proximity is helpful but not necessary.

Secondly, the broader universe of pension funds may also be interested in these investments not so much because they are green, but because they provide an attractive return (whether environmental issues should be a considered within mainstream risk assessments by institutional investors is a topic beyond the scope of this paper). Pension funds are looking for long-dated assets with inflation protection, a steady yield and which have a low correction to the rest of their portfolio.

We also model the contagion process in a relatively mechanical fashion, holding balance sheets and the size and structure of interbank linkages constant as default propagates through the system. Arguably, in normal times in developed nancial systems, banks are sufciently robust that very minor variations in their default probabilities do not affect the decision of whether or not to lend to them in interbank markets.

Many equity investments have a quoted market price in an active market, which is used as fair value. These market prices reflect normal market transactions and are readily avail- able from brokers or in the financial press.When trading is light, recent bid prices are accept- able, although light trading may indicate that estimating fair value is problematic. For exam- ple, a recent price might not be relevant if significant events had taken place after the bid date (CICA ED 3855.A26).

The objective of medicine is to address people’s unavoidable needs for emotional and physical healing. The discipline has evolved over millennia by drawing on the religious beliefs and social structures of numerous indigenous peoples, by exploit- ing natural products in their environments, and more recently by developing and validating therapeutic and preventive approaches using the scientific method.

The next chapter presents an analytical solution for a nano-plate with Levy boundary conditions. The free vibration analysis is based on a first order shear deformation theory which includes the small scale effect. The governing equations of motion, reformulated as two new equations called the edge-zone and interior equations, are based on the nonlocal constitutive equations of Eringen.

Nutrition is an important lifestyle factor that contributes to our general feeling well. Recently, it has even further suggested, based on a number of epidemiological studies, that our diet is also associated with the risk of developing a number of chronic diseases, such as diabetes type II, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, many types of cancer, just to name few. Thus, a balanced nutrition is firmly interwoven with many aspects of our long-term health, including the prevention of diseases, albeit this is typically rather associated with the medicinal areas.

Impoverishing the local resource base can impoverish wider areas: deforestation by highland farmers causes flooding on lowland farms; factory pollution robs local fishermen of their catch. Such grim local cycles now operate nationally and regionally. Dryland degradation sends environmental refugees in their millions across national borders. Deforestation in Latin America and Asia is causing more floods, and more destructive floods, in downhill, downstream nations. Acid precipitation and nuclear fallout have spread across the borders of Europe.

In Hawaii, local production currently accounts for about 18 percent of the total amount oflettuce consumed. Major production areas in Hawaii include Mountain View and Waianae for leafy and semi-head lettuces and Kula and Kamuela for iceberg types. Smaller areas of production are found throughout the state, and lettuce is also grown year-round in most home and community gardens. Hawaii's commercial production decreased by more than 35 percent over the past few years due to the tomato spotted wilt virus, a devastating, thrips-trans- mitted disease.

Further, Fich and Shivdasani (2006) find that firms with a majority of their outside directors serving on three or more boards have lower profitability. Thus busy non- executive directors may be over-committed and therefore unable to fulfil the role of effective monitors. In addition, Vafeas (2003) reports that longer outside director tenure adversely affects firm performance. Hwang and Kim (2009) find that the existence of substantial social ties between outside directors and top management diminishes the effectiveness of the monitoring role of non-executive directors. ...

Roe v. Wade stands as a milestone to women’s freedom and equality, and one of its most fundamental tenets is that a woman’s health must always be protected. Yet 39 years after the Supreme Court recognized the right to choose and the vital importance of women’s health, 1 attacks on women’s privacy, and on health protections in particular, continue. Time after time, anti-choice lawmakers vote down proposed health exceptions to abortion restrictions, 2 and prominent anti-choice leaders openly state their opposition to protecting women’s health.

If the consumption of counterfeit goods is consistent with other forms of routine consumption practices, it is likely that they are purchased in everyday environments and situated within routine social contexts. Such a view is supported by the questionnaire data. Rather than being integrated into a subcultural technical elite, the most regular sites of purchase of counterfeit products were more mundane.

However, some focus group participants also found the use of electronic music “distracting.” Several students who disliked the use of DJ Spooky’s music accompanying Caligari noted being distracted by the modern drum loops and electronic sounds, claiming that they didn’t “suit” the film. Another student anonymously described having seen the film before, and feeling “far more removed from the film” because of the electronic music: “the experiment created an unconscious focus on where the film and the contemporary DJ track ‘synched’ up.

In the kidney, the Th2-mediated response is characterized by formation of immune complexes and deposition in the glomerulus, which is usually followed by complement activation. On the other hand, the Th1-mediated response is characterized by infiltration of circulating mononuclear cells and crescent formation. Both responses are capable of releasing mediators that are responsible for functional and structural changes as seen in primary glomerular diseases.
