The BET-like adsorption equation, popularly known as the GAB equation, was derived from the BDDT adsorption equation without changes to the bulk liquid properties of multilayer molecules. Without these changes the third parameter K in the GAB equation cannot be said to measure changes in the bulk liquid properties of the multilayer molecules. Instead K measures the range of application of the GAB equation and differentiates multilayer adsorption, when K > 0.5, from singular layer adsorption, when K ? 0.5. The GAB equation, derived from and based on the BDDT theory is argued, in this paper, to provide a greater insight into the mechanism of water adsorption than the same equation derived from and based on the BET theory. � 2005 Institute of Food Science and Technology Trust Fund.

A diachronic/synchronic study was conducted to identify the typical traditional mourning dress of Akans of Ghana and their symbolic meanings. Nine old men and women were interviewed for primary data. Sources of secondary data were books, students' research reports, journals, and information from the internet. The findings revealed that typical Akan mourning dress included kuntunkuni, kobene, brisi, adinkra, koogyan, nkrawo abotire, a yellow or red loincloth, necklaces of seeds, tiny snail shells, hide, ayisaado, wreaths of leaves, straw bands, native or rubber sandals, and black and red body painting. The nature of death, age, character, and status of the deceased or the bereaved and physical and mental characteristics of the deceased prior to death determined what to wear at funerals. Conclusions drawn were that mourning dress was used to honour the dead, control the behaviour of the living, and direct support to the right people. � African Cultures and Literatures: A Miscellany.
