Receptors for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) have been identified only recently. Their medicinal chemistry is therefore still in its infancy, and few selective agonists or antagonists are available. Furthermore, the selectivity of S1P receptor agonists or antagonists is not well established. JTE-013 and BML-241 (also known as CAY10444), used extensively as specific S1P(2) and S1P(3) receptors an...

the major purpose of this study was conducted to identify the challenges in application of icts inrural areas of iran. a questionnaire was developed and data collected from 187 extensionspecialists. the challenges was categorized by using factor analysis and results show challengeswere classified into organizational, technical, social, financial, regulatory and human factors byorder of their im...

Thirteen betelvine cultivars (PB 001 to PB 013) collected from different locations of Bangladesh showed remarkable variations in disease reaction foot and root rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii. The lowest incubation period 8 days was required for the 005 (BARI line), 006 (Misti pan), 009 Pan-1) 010 (Bangla pan) highest 22 (Laldingi 013 (Gayasur appearance 1st symptoms. incidence ranged 8.33 100...

introduction: in this study, total factor productivity growth components in rough rice production are assisting by econometric approach and stochastic frontier function during 2005-2013 for several provinces (mazandaran province, guilan province, golestan province, fars province, khoozestan province). according to food and agriculture organization statics, iran is the 3rd importer and 20th expo...

− A theoretical framework is developed for decomposing partial factor productivity and measuring technical inefficiency when the underlying technology is characterized by factor non-substitution. With Farrell’s (1957) radial index of technical inefficiency being inappropriate in this case, Russell’s (1985; 1987) non-radial indices are adapted to measure technical inefficiency in a Leontief mode...

Assessment of performance in the sports industry is an important issue which has attracted the attention of many researchers. One of the important human resources that have a prominent role in the success of sports organizations are coaches and especially club coaches that smallest decisions of them can affect the performance of the entire organization. The purpose of this study was to explore ...

Based on stochastic frontier analysis and translog input distance function, this paper examines the total factor energy efficiency of China’s industry using input-output data of 30 subindustries from 2002 to 2014, and decomposes the changes in estimated total factor energy efficiency into the effects of technical change, technical efficiency change, scale efficiency change and inputmix effect. ...

Abstract Aim show our technique for abdominal wall graft retrieval minimizing warm ischemia time. Material and methods a video report of an (full-thickness) from female brain death donor. Results better perfusion with lower picnosis in the studied cells. Lower tissue damage both full-thickness isolated fascia grafts. Surgical technique: An “house-flap” incision is done as opposed to conventiona...

Four strains of Bordetella bronchiseptica (CSU-P-1, 64-C-0406, 1120-A-83-013, and B205BT) with defined virulence for neonatal swine were examined, and an attempt was made to correlate the presence of certain in vitro phenotypic characteristics with the ability of a particular B. bronchiseptica strain to produce turbinate and lung lesions in piglets. All of the strains except CSU-P-1 colonized t...
