Although language research has focused on blackmail in general, less attention has been paid to emotional blackmail. To date, researchers could not locate any literature that examines emotional blackmail from a linguistic standpoint. The current study is intended to fill this gap by scrutinizing emotional blackmail from a pragma-stylistic point of view by examining the style of the characters in selected episodes extracted from the American Breaking Bad series. To carry out the study, an eclectic model comprising kinds of emotional blackmailers by Forward and Frazier (1997), Searles’ speech acts (1979), Grice’s maxims (1975), Brown and Levinson’s politeness (1987), Culpeper’s impoliteness (1996), and Simpson’s stylistic le

In this paper we define and study new concepts of fibrewise topological spaces over B namely, fibrewise closure topological spaces, fibrewise wake topological spaces, fibrewise strong topological spaces over B. Also, we introduce the concepts of fibrewise w-closed (resp., w-coclosed, w-biclosed) and w-open (resp., w-coopen, w-biopen) topological spaces over B; Furthermore we state and prove several Propositions concerning with these concepts.

This study deals with thirty non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients suffering from diabetic nephropathy in addition to twenty five healthy control.Some biochemical parameters were determined in the serum of all subjects enrolled in the study.These parameters are serum glucose,serum urea,serum creatinine,total serum protein and serum albumin.The aim of the present study was to estimate these parameters in diabetic nephropathy patients. The results of the present study revealed a significant increase in glucose,urea and creatinine in patients as compared to controls . Also a significant decrease was found in total serum protein, serum albumin and albumin to globulin ratio (A/G) in patients compared to controls,whi

     Graceful labeling of a graph  with q edges is assigned the labels for its vertices by some integers from the set such that no two vertices received the same label, where each edge is assigned the absolute value of the difference between the labels of its end vertices and the resulting edge labeling running from 1 to  inclusive. An edge labeling of a graph G is called vertex anntimagic, if all vertex weights are pairwise distinct, where the vertex weight of a vertex under an edge labeling is the sum of the label of all edges incident with that vertex.  In this paper, we address the problem of finding graceful antimagic labelin for split of the star graph ,  graph,  graph, jellyfish graph , Dragon graph , ki

In the current study, different concentrations of miltefosine drug, which is the first effective and safe oral treatment for visceral leishmaniasis, was evaluated against L. donovani promastigotes in comparison with pentosam drug. Direct counting microscopic assay was used to find 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of miltefosine and pentostam against L. donovani promastigotes. The IC50 of miltefosine drug was 45.42μg/ml, 46.76μg/ml and 36.68μg/ml after 24 hr, 48hr and 72hr respectively, In comparison with IC 50 of pentostam drug was 75.39 μg/ml after 72hr. There were significant differences (P˂0.05) between IC50 values of miltefosine and pentostam drugs from first day to third day.

Richards in 1996 introduced the idea of leftly e ─ core transference by using many conditions, including that the difference between the colums (k) is greater than of weight. In this paper, we generalized this idea without the condition of Richards depending on the mathematical and computational solution.

     The new type of paranormal operators that have been defined in this study on the Hilbert space, is  paranormal operators. In this paper we introduce and discuss some properties of this concept such as: the sum and product of two paranormal, the power of paranormal. Further, the relationships between the paranormal operators and other kinds of paranormal operators have been studied.

Background : Knee flexors tightness has been documented in apparently healthy adults and in those with musculoskeletal problems, but the influence of age on the tightness has not been studied in Iraq. This study was therefore designed to determine the influence of age on knee flexors tightness in apparently healthy subjects.Methods: Knee flexors tightness was measured using the active knee extension test (AKET) in 200 apparently healthy male and female subjects, aged 13 to 59 years. The subjects were recruited into 5 age groups using the purposive sampling technique.Knee flexors tightness was compared across the age groups using one-way analysis ofvariance (ANOVA). The independent t-test was used to compare knee flexors tightness on both

In this paper we study the concepts of δ-small M-projective module and δ-small M-pseudo projective Modules as a generalization of M-projective module and M-Pseudo Projective respectively and give some results.
