BACKGROUND Continuous training of teachers, in discipline and pedagogical topics, is a key step to improve the quality of educational processes. AIM To report the perception of Chilean teachers of undergraduate health care programs, about continuous training activities. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty teachers working at different undergraduate health care programs in Chile were interviewed. Ma...

This study investigated the intervention of Zimmerman & Hutchins (2003) Information Synthesization vs. Visualization on Iranian Undergraduate ESP (Accounting) learners’ reading comprehension achievement across gender. 120 ESP University students majoring in Accounting in Iran participated in this study and were assigned to 4 homogeneous groups, 30 male and 30 female students in experimental gro...

sodic soil is one of the most common problems of limiting agricultural production that related on irrigation. saturated hydraulic conductivity is one of hydrodynamic characteristics in evaluating transmission flow through underground levels. to investigate the role of increment of exchangeable sodium in hydraulic conductivity changes (as characterized by the mobility of water in soil) an experi...

Low resistive particulate matter (PM) generated from marine engines or diesel generators has been known to be difficult to collect by the conventional electrostatic precipitators (ESP). In the present study, the double-cylinder type ESP (DC ESP) was developed to remove low resistive diesel exhaust particles. Two ESPs, namely, the conventional singlecylinder type ESP (SC ESP ) and DC ESP were in...

Helminths and their products can suppress the host immune response to escape host defense mechanisms and establish chronic infections. Current studies indicate that macrophages play a key role in the immune response to pathogen invasion. They can be polarized into two distinct phenotypes: M1 and M2. The present paper examines the impact of the adult Hymenolepis diminuta (HD) tapeworm and its ex...

The severity of Zn deficiency increased with increase in soil exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) with salt sensitive variety M1-48 scoring 6 at ESP 62 as against only score 3 by salt tolerant variety Pokkali under similar soil conditions. Strikingly, zinc contents were much higher in salt tolerant variety than in salt sensitive one. Zinc application increased zinc concentration in the roots b...

Excretory-secretory products (ESP) play an important role in the host biochemical defense by means of activities of detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes. The aim of this study was to evaluate praziquantel (PZQ) effects by detection of glutathione S- transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes activities in ESP samples of Fasciola spp. Fasciola gigantica and Fasciola hepatica a...

Pulsed energization of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) may represent one of the most promising solutions to comply with strict environmental regulation in case of high resistivity dust. Performs a parametric cost comparison between conventional and pulsed ESP with reference to four main industrial areas: electric power generation, cement manufacturing, iron and steel production, glass industry...

Introdouction:The styloid process(SP) has the potential for calcification and ossification. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of different patterns of elongation and calcification of the SP. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 400 digital panoramic radiographs taken for routine dental examination in the dental school of Shiraz University were evaluated...
