called "Russia Reports" that aired on the radio station WEVD. Zev Furst,
a researcher for the American Jewish Congress Commission on
International Affairs and co-author of the “How to Find and Meet Russian
Jews, Briefing Kit for the Travelers to the USSR,” speaks about travel
to the USSR as an important aspect of the Soviet Jewry movement. This

Bassett mechanicala case study of implementation of ISO-9001:2000
No full textPlan BThe purpose of this field problem was to implement ISO-9001:2000 standards into the policies and procedures at Bassett Mechanical. Customers were requiring vendors and subcontractors to obtain certification in order to continue providing products and services. Obtainment of certification was needed to ensure sustained business relations with Bassett Mechanical’s existing customers
Cannabinoids and immune system
No full textHow cannabinoids influence immune function has been examined extensively in the last 30 years. Studies on drug-abusing humans and animals, as well as in vitro models employing immune cell cultures, have shown that marijuana, natural and endogenous cannabinoid compounds are immunomodulators.These substances modulate host resistance to bacterial, protozoan and viral infections as well as they can profoundly affect the Th1/Th2 response. Recently, two types of cannabinoid receptor, CB1 and CB2, have been discovered. While CB1 is expressed primarily in the brain, CB2 is peculiar of the immune cells. Cannabinoid receptors have been shown to be involved in some but not all of immune effects. Nevertheless, their identification provides a specific mechanism of action in the attempting to find out how exogenous cannabinoids and endogenous cannabinoid system affect the immune apparatus, strengthen the hypothesis of cannabinoids as immunomodulators. As support to this theory, enough evidence exists to suggest that the cannabinoid system significantly affects almost every component of the immune response machinery and impacts the functioning also of the cytokine network. The evaluation of the biological consequences of these drug-induced cytokine changes has also dramatically become important considering not only the impact of cytokines on immune system per se but also envisaging their influence in cancer, inflammation, autoimmune disease, brain injury, hematopoietic colony formation in which cannabinoids have demonstrated a clear role as important modulators

A low-luminosity soft state in the short-period black hole X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127
No full textWe present results from the spectral fitting of the candidate black hole X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127 in an accretion state previously unseen in this source. We fit the 0.7–78 keV spectrum with a number of models, however the preferred model is one of a multitemperature disc with an inner disc temperature kTin = 0.252 ± 0.003 keV scattered into a steep power-law with photon index ?=6.39+0.08?0.02 and an additional hard power-law tail (? = 1.79 ± 0.02). We report on the emergence of a strong disc-dominated component in the X-ray spectrum and we conclude that the source has entered the soft state for the first time in its ?10 yr prolonged outburst. Using reasonable estimates for the distance to the source (3 kpc) and black hole mass (5?M?), we find the unabsorbed luminosity (0.1–100 keV) to be ?0.60?per?cent of the Eddington luminosity, making this one of the lowest luminosity soft states recorded in X-ray binaries. We also find that the accretion disc extended towards the compact object during its transition from hard to soft, with the inner radius estimated to be Rin=28.0+0.7?0.4Rg or ?12Rg, dependent on the boundary condition chosen, assuming the above distance and mass, a spectral hardening factor f = 1.7 and a binary inclination i = 55°
