One of the important abilities of learners is to monitor their own learning process and take charge of their development. To this end and based on the correlational nature of the study design, total of 125 students (for the Winter semester of 2017) educating at Zanjan Universities (89 B.A. students of Islamic Azad University and 60 B.A. students of Payam-e-Noor University) were chosen as the st...

Photoaffinity labeling methods have allowed a definition of the sites of interaction between Taxol and its cellular target, the microtubule, specifically beta-tubulin. Our previous studies have indicated that [(3)H]3'-(p-azidobenzamido)Taxol photolabels the N-terminal 31 amino acids of beta-tubulin (Rao, S., Krauss, N. E., Heerding, J. M., Swindell, C. S., Ringel, I., Orr, G. A., and Horwitz, S...

α-Crystallin is the major component of vertebrate eye lenses and constitutes approximately a third of the lens fiber cell proteins (Horwitz, 2000). It is also expressed at lower levels in lens epithelial cells. α-Crystallin is a hetero-oligomeric complex of two closely related polypeptides, αA and αB, present in 3:1 stoichiometry in lens fibers. The two subunits have chaperone activity, and are...

This study evaluates if verbally oriented scales are as effective as the visual instruments of self-figure drawing and video interpretation in detecting treatment responses after 6 months of dance/movement therapy in fibromyalgia patients. The self-figure drawing and video interpretation technique captured treatment effects that were not seen on verbal scales. In the self-figure drawings, signi...

Levi McNeil, Sookmyung Women’s University Previous research suggests that the affordances (van Lier, 2000) of asynchronous computer-mediated communication (ACMC) environments help reduce foreign language anxiety (FLA). However, FLA is rarely the focus of these studies and research has not adequately addressed the relationship between FLA and the affordances that students use. This study explore...

Labeled ((3)H or (14)C) l-alanine was perfused through the xylem vessels of isolated tomato internodes (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Moneymaker) at various concentrations (10(-6) molar to 10(-2) molar). At each concentration the escape of l-alanine from the xylem vessels was apparently a first order process, which is in agreement with Horwitz' (1958, Plant Physiology 33:81-93) model for irrevers...

A method was developed and a collaborative study was performed under the auspices of the International Commission of Uniform Methods for Sugar Analysis. The collaborators used high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) to determine trace amounts of glucose and fructose in 3 raw and 3 refined sugar samples provided as blind duplicates. Fourteen laboratories participated in the study....
