I do not think that an Arab reference can admit that despite his authenticity, for he is in the end a Jew.
Ezra says: My mother tongue is Arabic. My family origin probably dates back to the days of the Babylonian captivity, and I still speak, read and write Arabic.
He added he studied in Lebanon and then in Egypt before his family sent him to an institute in America, and that was during the Second World War to treat his stuttering before he completed his studies there.
Ezra worked as a trainee banker at Amrose Bank in London, after which he was sent to Hong Kong to be trained in gold dealings. 7 views

He calls these inherent traits “signa-ture strengths ” and argues that by exercising them frequently and wisely, we transform our lives to a higher more positive plane. “I do not believe that you should devote overly-much effort to correcting weaknesses. Rather, I believe that the highest suc-cess in living and the deepest emotional satisfaction comes from building and using your signature strengths ” (p. 13). Clearly, readers will recognize the similarities between Seligman's ideas and Csikszentmihalyi's (1975) notion of flow (well worth Reclaiming readers'

In trial 1, iguanas received an IM injection of 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) either in the tail (n = 3) or in the hind limb (n = 3); the iguanas were injected in the other site during trial 2. Nuclear scintigraphy was used to measure isotope gamma particles emitted in counts per minute and to follow distribution of the 99mTc-DMSA postinjection. Dynamic study ventral view scintigrams, with counts per minute measured every 5 sec for the first 5 min after injection and then summed, were used to compare 99mTc-DMSA distribution in the cranial and caudal regions. These revealed that 99mTc-DMSA injected IM into the hind limb remained only in the caudal body for three of the iguanas (50%) and was distributed to both the cranial and caudal regions in the r...

Optical Mass Data Storage II, 1987
System application and integration issues drive the operational requirements of an optical disk m... more System application and integration issues drive the operational requirements of an optical disk memory. This paper describes a typical system integration problem and four possible solutions. The operational requirement is to WRITE a continuous input data stream into the optical disk memory for several days, and READ random files from the memory at the same time. This can be done at continuous WRITE rates of 24 Mbps (3 MBytes/sec). The four solutions involve different ways to use the RCA Optical Disk Jukebox (ODJ) and different configuration options that may be specified when ordering the ODJ. These options include multiple heads per turntable, multiple turntables per ODJ and I/O staging buffers. Data is given on the number of file READ accesses per minute vs. simultaneous WRITE rate. Diagrams of the ODJ configuration options are included.

Hyperlipidemia in these four cheetahs was characterized by hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. The mean percentages of chylomicron and beta-lipoproteins were greater (P < 0.05) and the mean percent of alpha-lipoproteins was lower (P < 0.05) than the respective means for a group of 20 nonhyperlipidemic and clinically normal cheetahs. The etiology of the hyperlipidemia in these four cheetahs was not determined. However, the older cheetah also had chronic renal insufficiency and a parathyroid adenoma, conditions that have been associated with hyperlipidemia.

Four of 10 otters released died within 32 days. Clinical evaluation indicated that respiratory tract disease, bacterial and parasitic infections, and inanition may have contributed to the death of these otters. In the second year (1985) of the study, an exotic feline diet was fed, and the holding period for 10 otters was increased to provide time for evaluation and treatment before surgery, postsurgical acclimation to Oklahoma, and reevaluation before release. Although the initial clinical findings on otters in the second year were similar to those found in the first year, otter body weights increased, and the prevalence and severity of clinical abnormalities decreased with treatment during the second-year h...

Five of the ferrets (group 1) were inoculated 3 times at 2-week intervals with a multivalent modified-live virus vaccine of canine cell-line origin, containing CDV and an inactivated RV vaccine. Four of the ferrets (group 2) were inoculated once with the multivalent modified-live virus vaccine containing CDV and were not inoculated with the RV vaccine. Both group-1 and group-2 ferrets seroconverted to the CDV component of the vaccine. Group-1 ferrets also seroconverted after RV vaccination and maintained serum antibody titers to both CDV and RV for at least 7 months. Domestic ferret sera were found to have IgG epitopes similar to sera of domestic dogs and cats. Domestic ferret sera did not contain antibodies to feline coronavirus or FeLV antigens.

Few writers have addressed sensitive topics in which history interferes with religion, or intersects, with the audacity with which Dr. Ahmed Sousse discussed topics related to the history of Jews and Judaism in the Levant. In his encyclopedic book Arabs and Jews in History, he pioneered the separation of myth and historical truth in the history of Jews and Judaism and their relationship with Palestine at various historical stages, and scientific and historical logic led to mythical novels that the world has been accustomed to dealing with as facts over many centuries and has been used as justification for cultivating a strange Jewish entity in Palestine.
