It is not all downhill from here: Syllable Contact Law in Persian
Syllable contact pairs cross-linguistically tend to have a falling sonority slope, a constraint which is called the Syllable Contact Law (SCL). In this study, the phonotactics of syllable contacts in 4202 CVC.CVC words of Persian lexicon is investigated. The consonants of Persian were divided into five sonority categories and the frequency of all possible sonority slopes is computed both in lex...
متن کاملIs it downhill from here? Eliminating leukemic stem cells and curing chronic myeloid leukemia.
Patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia who respond to imatinib have a rapid initial decrease in BCR-ABL transcript levels (α), followed by a slow decline (β). The rate of β decrease is consistent with declining leukemic stem cells and may predict which patients may safely discontinue therapy.

متن کاملOne-stage exchange: it all began here.
Based on the first implementation of mixing antibiotics into bone cement in the 1970s, the Endo-Klinik has used one stage exchange for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in over 85% of cases. Looking carefully at current literature and guidelines for PJI treatment, there is no clear evidence that a two stage procedure has a higher success rate than a one-stage approach. A cemented one-stage excha...
متن کاملDrug discovery: here comes the worm.
Identification of bioactive molecules and their targets impedes the process of drug development. In a recent paper, a genetically tractable organism, the Caenorhabditis elegans worm, is shown to be a viable screening system in which the drug target and the pathway it activates can be readily identified.
