Question 3: The fourth Thesi s on Peuerbach concerns itsel f with, among other matters, the nature of dialectic understanding. A proper dialectic understanding addresses itself to the immanent contradictions in the real concrete, rather than merely the contradictions between this real concrete and its ideological manisfestations -such as religion. Yes, the self as part of the system of religion...

This study investigated the roles of problem structure and strategy use in problem encoding. Fourthgrade students solved and explained a set of typical addition problems (e.g., 5 + 4 + 9 + 5 = ) and mathematical equivalence problems (e.g., 4 + 3 + 6 = 4 + or 6 + 4 + 5 = + 5). Next, they completed an encoding task in which they reconstructed addition and equivalence problems after viewing each f...

Throughout introductory tertiary statistics subjects, students are introduced to a multitude of new terms for statistical concepts and procedures. One such term, significance level, has been considered in the statistical literature. Three themes of discussion relate to this concept the problem of interpretation (and misinterpretation), the selection of an appropriate level, and the evaluation o...

Incorporating new healthcare technologies for proactive health and elder care will become a major priority over the next decade, as medical care systems world-wide become strained by the aging boomer population. We present MIThril LiveNet, a flexible distributed mobile platform that can be deployed for a variety of proactive healthcare applications. The LiveNet system allows people to receive r...

We show that a one-sector AK model of endogenous growth with the most generalized cashin-advance constraint is able to account for (i) the observed long-run negative relationship between the nominal growth rate of money and the income velocity of money, (ii) the empirically ambiguous effect of changing inflation on the economy’s output growth, and (iii) the divergent growth experience of countr...

Objective: To compare the mean body weights and mean absolute and relative liver weights (in Grams) of albino rats after tamoxifen and taurine treatment. Material and Methods: This prospective experimental study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Khyber Medical College, Peshawar from July 2011 to December 2011. Sixty adult female albino rats were divided into four groups (A-control, B-...

Electrical stimulation of the motor cortex in monkeys can evoke complex, multijoint movements including movements of the arm and hand. In this study, we examined these movements in detail and tested whether they showed adaptability to differing circumstances such as to a weight added to the hand. Electrical microstimulation was applied to motor cortex using pulse trains of 500-ms duration (matc...

in order to investigate the relationships of some morphological traits at the early stages of three sugar beet cultivars with final yield at varying levels of water regines, a field experiment was carried out in karaj, and mashhad, in 2001-2003.  the objective of this study was to find the relation of some morphological traits of three sugar beet genotypes (7219-p.69, bp-karaj and 7112)  during...

Calorie restriction (CR) inhibits prostate cancer progression, partially through modulation of the IGF axis. IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) blockade reduces prostate cancer xenograft growth. We hypothesized that combining calorie restriction with IGF-1R blockade would have an additive effect on prostate cancer growth. Severe combined immunodeficient mice were subcutaneously injected with 22Rv1 cells a...
