Early Christians Speak: Faith and Life in the First Three Centuries
These studies in early church history cover various aspects of the church life of early Christians. They focus on the second century. What did the second century Christian leaders say about faith, baptism, infant baptism, worship services, the Lord\u27s Supper, prayer, singing, church organization, mercy and the role of women? New Testament texts bearing on the topic are listed at the beginning of each chapter. We are talking about the same community of people, the same church, as existed in the New Testament. Such writings have an important bearing on the interpretation of the Scriptures.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/acu_library_books/1007/thumbnail.jp

The Everlasting Kingdom: The Kingdom of God in Scripture and in Our Lives
This is a small bible study on the use of the word kingdom in the Bible. It was in a series called the Way of Life Series and designed for church study. It begins in the Old Testament and moves through to Revelation offering a summary of what the Bible means by the reign of God.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/acu_library_books/1008/thumbnail.jp

A study of the X-rayed outflow of APM 08279+5255 through photoionization codes
We present new results from our study of the X-rayed outflow of the z = 3.91
gravitationally lensed broad absorption line (BAL) quasar APM 08279+5255. These
results are based on spectral fits to all the long exposure observations of APM
08279+5255 using a new quasar-outflow model. This model is based on cloudy
simulations of a near-relativistic quasar outflow. The main conclusions from
our multi-epoch spectral re-analysis of Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku
observations of APM 08279+5255 are: 1) In every observation we confirm the
presence of two strong features, one at rest-frame energies between 1-4 keV,
and the other between 7-18 keV. 2) We confirm that the low-energy absorption
(1-4 keV rest-frame) arises from a low-ionization absorber with logNH~23 and
the high-energy absorption (7-18 keV rest-frame) arises from highly ionized
(3>log xi>4; where xi is the ionization parameter) iron in a near-relativistic
outflowing wind. Assuming this interpretation, we find that the velocities on
the outflow could get up to ~0.7c. 3) We confirm a correlation between the
maximum outflow velocity and the photon index and find possible trends between
the maximum outflow velocity and the X-ray luminosity, and between the total
column density and the photon index. We performed calculations of the force
multipliers of material illuminated by absorbed power laws and a
Mathews-Ferland SED. We found that variations of the X-ray and UV parts of the
SEDs and the presence of a moderate absorbing shield will produce important
changes in the strength of the radiative driving force. These results support
the observed trend found between the outflow velocity and X-ray photon index in
APM 08279+5255. If this result is confirmed it will imply that radiation
pressure is an important mechanism in producing quasar outflows.Comment: Paper accepted in the Astrophysical journa

The EphB4 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Promotes Lung Cancer Growth: A Potential Novel Therapeutic Target
Despite progress in locoregional and systemic therapies, patient survival from lung cancer remains a challenge. Receptor tyrosine kinases are frequently implicated in lung cancer pathogenesis, and some tyrosine kinase inhibition strategies have been effective clinically. The EphB4 receptor tyrosine kinase has recently emerged as a potential target in several other cancers. We sought to systematically study the role of EphB4 in lung cancer. Here, we demonstrate that EphB4 is overexpressed 3-fold in lung tumors compared to paired normal tissues and frequently exhibits gene copy number increases in lung cancer. We also show that overexpression of EphB4 promotes cellular proliferation, colony formation, and motility, while EphB4 inhibition reduces cellular viability in vitro, halts the growth of established tumors in mouse xenograft models when used as a single-target strategy, and causes near-complete regression of established tumors when used in combination with paclitaxel. Taken together, these data suggest an important role for EphB4 as a potential novel therapeutic target in lung cancer. Clinical trials investigating the efficacy of anti-EphB4 therapies as well as combination therapy involving EphB4 inhibition may be warranted.</p
