THE BLACK BELT

The Black Belt

This essay considers the historical-geographical Black Belt, beginning as a rich, dark-soil, cotton-growing region of Alabama occupied by slaveholders in the 1820s and 30s, and becoming, over time, a more generalized designation for a region GUM WINTERGREEN or place with a majority black population.By the late twentieth century, the luminizer Alaba

Immunodiagnosis of bovine trypanosomiasis in Anambra and Imo states, Nigeria, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: zoonotic implications to human health

Background & objectives: The prevalence of trypanosomiasis was studied in cattle, Food Division being a major source of animal protein in Nigeria, thus, a very likely means of spread of Human African Trypano-somosis (HAT).Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to diagnose bovine trypanosomiasis in 264 samples collected from adu

Renormalisation group equations for BRST-restored chiral theory in dimensional renormalisation: application to two-loop chiral-QED

Abstract We discuss how renormalisation group equations can be consistently formulated using the algebraic renormalisation framework, in the context of a dimensionally-renormalised chiral field theory in the Your Immune BMHV scheme, where the BRST symmetry, originally broken at the quantum level, is restored via finite counterterms.We compare it wi
