General Administration Department
The General Administration Department (, abbreviated GAD) is a civil service body that staffs all regional and state-level governments in Myanmar and provides administration for the country's myriad districts and townships. It also plays a central role in administering the country's administrative capital of Naypyidaw, as the Constitution of Myanmar stipulates that the head of GAD is the secretary of the Naypyidaw Council and that the GAD offices are to be co-located with the Naypyidaw Council offices.The directors of State and Region GAD offices are also the secretaries of State and Region Government of Myanmar, State and Region governments. On 28 December 2018, it was reorganized and reinvoked under the Ministry of the Office of the Union Government (Myanmar), Ministry of the Office of the Union Government after being detached from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Myanmar), Ministry of Home Affairs. On 5 May 2021, the State Administration Council, SAC reorganized it under Ministry ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gad (deity)
Gad was the name of the pan-Ancient Semitic religion, Semitic deity, god of fortune, usually depicted as a male but sometimes as a female, and is attested in ancient records of Aram (biblical region), Aram and Arabia. Gad is also mentioned in the Bible as a deity in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 65:11 – some translations simply call him (the god of) Fortune), as having been worshipped by a number of Hebrews during the Babylonian captivity. Gad apparently differed from the god of destiny, who was known as Meni (deity), Meni. The root verb in ''Gad'' means ''cut'' or ''divide'', and from this comes the idea of fate being ''meted out''. Israelite connection It is possible that Gad (son of Jacob), the son of Jacob named ''Gad'' is named after Gad, or that Gad is a theophoric name, or a descriptive. Although the text presents a different reason, the (ketub) quotation of Zilpa (Gad's mother) giving the reason of Gad's name could be understood that way. How widespread the cult of Gad ...

Golden Age Of Detective Fiction
The Golden Age of Detective Fiction was an era of classic murder mystery novels of similar patterns and styles, predominantly in the 1920s and 1930s. While the Golden Age proper is usually taken to refer to works from that period, this type of fiction has been written since at least 1911 and is still being written. In his history of the detective story, ''Bloody Murder: From the Detective Story to the Crime Novel'', the author Julian Symons heads two chapters devoted to the Golden Age as "the Twenties" and "the Thirties". Symons notes that Philip Van Doren Stern's article, "The Case of the Corpse in the Blind Alley" (1941), "could serve ... as an obituary for the Golden Age." Authors Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, and Ngaio Marsh have been collectively called the Queens of Crime. Description of the genre Certain conventions and clichés were established that limited any surprises on the part of the reader to the details of the plot and, primarily, to ...

Gaddang Language
The Gaddang language (also Cagayan) is and Austronesian language spoken by up to 30,000 of the Gaddang people in the Philippines, particularly along the Magat and upper Cagayan rivers in the Region II provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela and by overseas migrants to countries in Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, in the Middle East, United Kingdom and the United States. Most Gaddang speakers also speak Ilocano, the lingua franca of Northern Luzon, as well as Tagalog and English. Gaddang is associated with the "Christianized Gaddang" people, and is closely related to the highland (''non-Christian'' in local literature) tongues of Ga'dang with 6,000 speakers, Yogad, Cagayan Agta with less than 1,000 and Atta with 2,000 (although the Negrito Aeta and Atta are genetically unrelated to the Austronesian Gaddang), and more distantly to Ibanag, Itawis, Isneg and Malaweg. The Gaddang tongue has been vanishing from daily and public life over the past half-century. Public and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Great Dodecahedron
In geometry, the great dodecahedron is one of four Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra. It is composed of 12 pentagonal faces (six pairs of parallel pentagons), intersecting each other making a pentagrammic path, with five pentagons meeting at each vertex. Construction One way to construct a great dodecahedron is by faceting the regular icosahedron. In other words, it is constructed from the regular icosahedron by removing its polygonal faces without changing or creating new vertices. For each vertex of the icosahedron, the five neighboring vertices become those of a regular pentagon face of the great dodecahedron. The resulting shape has a pentagram as its vertex figure, so its Schläfli symbol is \ . The great dodecahedron may also be interpreted as the ''second stellation of dodecahedron''. The construction started from a regular dodecahedron by attaching 12 pentagonal pyramids onto each of its faces, known as the ''first stellation''. The second stellation appears when 30 wed ...

Gadolinium-based MRI Contrast Agent
MRI contrast agents are contrast agents used to improve the visibility of internal body structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The most commonly used compounds for contrast enhancement are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). Such MRI contrast agents shorten the relaxation times of nuclei within body tissues following oral or intravenous administration. Due to safety concerns, these products carry a Black Box Warning in the USA. Theory of operation In MRI scanners, sections of the body are exposed to a strong magnetic field causing primarily the hydrogen nuclei ("spins") of water in tissues to be polarized in the direction of the magnetic field. An intense radiofrequency pulse is applied that tips the magnetization generated by the hydrogen nuclei in the direction of the receiver coil where the spin polarization can be detected. Random molecular rotational oscillations matching the resonance frequency of the nuclear spins provide the "relaxation" mechanisms tha ...

Glycoazodyes
Glycoazodyes (or GADs) are a family of "naturalised" synthetic dyes, so called because they are the conjugation of common commercial azo dyes with sugar through a "linker". This principle is summarised in the scheme below. Generations, Structure, and Synthesis First-generation The first-generation of Glycoazodyes was first reported in 2007. These Glycoazodyes use a diester linker, specifically a succinyl bridge. An ester group bonds the sugar to an n-alkane spacer, and the spacer bonds to the dye through another ester group. Synthesis First-generation Glycoazodyes are synthesized using glucose, galactose or lactose as the sugar group. The point of esterification is controlled by selectively protecting alcohol groups on the sugar, or by choosing an azo dye with a different alcohol group position. The dye or the sugar group can be succinylated by reacting a free alcohol group with succinic anhydride. The resulting hemisuccinate then reacts with a free alcohol group on the d ...

Glutamate Decarboxylase
Glutamate decarboxylase or glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the Decarboxylation#Decarboxylation of amino acids, decarboxylation of glutamate to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and carbon dioxide (). GAD uses pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor (biochemistry), cofactor. The reaction proceeds as follows: : In mammals, GAD exists in two isoforms with molecular weights of 67 and 65 Dalton (unit), kDa (GAD67 and GAD65), which are encoded by two different genes on different chromosomes (''GAD1'' and ''GAD2'' genes, Chromosome 2, chromosomes 2 and Chromosome 10, 10 in humans, respectively). GAD67 and GAD65 are expressed in the brain where GABA is used as a neurotransmitter, and they are also expressed in the insulin-producing beta cell, β-cells of the pancreas, in varying ratios depending upon the species. Together, these two enzymes maintain the major physiological supply of GABA in mammals, though it may also be synthesized from putrescine in the ent ...
