Particle Collisions in the Lower Dimensional Rotating Black Hole Space-Time with the Cosmological Constant by Jie Yang, Yun-Liang Li, Yang Li, Shao-Wen Wei, Yu-Xiao Liu

“…Therefore, for the nonextremal BTZ black hole, the BSW process is possible on the inner horizon with the fine tuning of parameters which are characterized by the motion of particle, while, for the extremal BTZ black hole, the particle with the critical angular momentum could only exist on the degenerated horizon, and the BSW process could also happen there.…”

Cholinoceptor Activation Subserving the Effects of Interferon Gamma on the Contractility of Rat Ileum by Enri S. Borda, Leonor Sterin-Borda, Martin Rodriguez, Maria M. E. de Bracco

“…In contrast to the action of exogenous carbachol, the effects of interferon γ are indirect. They appear to involve a G protein regulating phosphoinositide turnover and cytoskeletal structures since they could not be induced in ileum strips that were pretreated with pertussis toxin, phospholipase C inhibitors (2-nitro-carboxyphenyl, NN-diphenyl carbamate and neomycin), cytochalasine B or colchicine.…”

Realigning with the slave-like Jesus of Mark: The shorter ending of Mark 16:1-8 as a relecture by S. Joubert

“…This new reception text, which is embedded in Mark’s original reference text, pushes the intended readers not only to re-read the Gospel, but also to re-understand it in light of Mark’s provocative presentation of the “non-godly” bodily demeanour of Jesus. However, it would appear that the original intertextual relecture, prompted by the ending of Mark 16:1-8, did not wholly succeed. …”

Handling COVID-19: Produce Farms and Packinghouses by Laurel Dunn, Michelle Danyluk

“… While there is no evidence that the COVID-19 virus is a food safety concern, it is a worker health concern because it spreads via close person-to-person contact or by contact with contaminated surfaces. Food does not appear to be a likely cause of COVID-19 transmission, but many of the same practices used to prevent foodborne illness on foods should still be used to reduce the likelihood of COVID-19 contamination on fresh produce and the risk of COVID-19 spread among farm and packinghouse workers. …”
