background: one of the most important activities in educational processes is evaluation of students. for evaluating the students’ professional performance, selecting an appropriate evaluation system is important. the aim of this study was to assess the clinical performance of medical interns and its affecting factors by mini-cex test. methods: this study was semi-experimental and mini-cex test ...

It was hypothesized that women of medium height would show a more secure, long-term mating pattern characterized by less jealousy, less intrasexual competition and a “slower” life history strategy. In three samples of female undergraduate students clear support was found for these hypotheses. In Study 1, among 120 participants, height was curvilinearly related to well-established measures of po...

We attempt to identify the different node hubs of a road network using PageRank for preparation for possible random terrorist attacks. The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness a...

Mini-G proteins are the engineered GTPase domains of Gα subunits. They couple to GPCRs and recapitulate the increase in agonist affinity observed upon coupling of a native heterotrimeric G protein. Given the small size and stability of mini-G proteins, and their ease of expression and purification, they are ideal for biophysical studies of GPCRs in their fully active state. The first mini-G pro...

female fertility begins to decline many years prior to the onset of menopause despite continued regular ovulatory cycles. age related infertility is due to oocyte abnormalities and decreased ovarian reserve. treatment of infertility when the cause is limited to decreased ovarian reserve is empirical at present except for oocyte donation. this mini review of the literature covers all available e...

Many U.S. metro cities’ municipal wireless projects have been delayed or canceled. Cost forecasting, market penetration rates, and changing technologies are factors that contribute launch failure. Although larger cities have tried, smaller towns are more successful due to the lack of commercial competition. This paper takes the issues of price, cost, and market share of WiFi municipal wireless ...

A 16-year-old Class II female patient was treated without tooth extraction. The upper first molars were distalized by the Pendulum appliance. After six months, the molars tipped significantly to the distal. To correct this side effect, we decided to upright the molars using skeletal anchorage. On each side, a mini-screw was inserted between first and second premolars in the buccal cortical plat...

Mini-cutting is the most common commercially used clonal propagation method in Brazil. However, several environmental interferences can impact this process, hindering production of propagules. Mini-tunnel have been to overcome these difficulties, allowing for an increase productivity mini-stumps and rooting mini-cuttings. This study aimed evaluate effect mini-tunnel models on mini-stump two hyb...
