language like other inventions was originated to serve human needs in different civilization. different language was created later. contextually the importance of translation from one language to another is not only to understand words; as the words are not the elements of translation. importance and base of translation lies in context to understand it. after getting the content, one should d...

The paper analyses the impact of geographic innovation on Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Taiwan in 2001 using 242 four-digit standard industrial classification (SIC) industries. We compute TFP by estimating Translog production functions with K, L, E and M inputs, and measure the geographic innovative activity using both Krugman's Gini coefficients and the location Herfindahl index. We also ...

The endogeneity of optimum currency areas criteria has been widely studied since Frankel and Rose (1998) seminal paper. Literature normally suggests that there is a positive relationship between trade and business cycles correlation. This paper develops work on this subject (Silvestre and Mendonça, 2007) where we confirm this hypothesis in euro area countries and UE-15 for 1967-2003 period usin...

This paper examines the unexplored link between the prevalence of overweight and obesity and vehicle demand in the United States. Exploring annual sales data of new passenger vehicles at the model level in 48 U.S. counties from 1999 to 2005, we find that new vehicles demanded by consumers are less fuel-efficient on average as a larger share of people become overweight or obese. The OLS results ...

Urban nature spaces are increasingly recognized as essential urban features providing crucial amenities to the residents’ health and well-being. While many studies have been conducted focusing on influence of green house prices, very few explored impact blue spaces. In this study, we analyzed proximity effects different types sizes property value in Changsha metropolis, China, examined spatial ...

Mendelian randomization (MR) is increasingly employed as a technique to assess the causation of risk factor on an outcome using observational data. The two-stage least-squares (2SLS) procedure commonly used examine genetic variants instrument variables. validity 2SLS relies representative sample randomly selected from study cohort or population for genome-wide association (GWAS), which not alwa...

we reported a 35 year old breast cancer patient who was referred to our nuclear medicine department for sentinel node mapping. she was planned to undergo mastectomy and lymphatic mapping. a dose of tc-99m phytate was injection in the peri-areolar region in an intra-dermal fashion. two hours post-injection no sentinel node was visible in the axilla. due to a high liver uptake, inadvertent intra-...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the effect of re-etching of desensitized dentin for five and 10 seconds on marginal microleakage of composite restorations. materials and methods: class v cavities (4x2x2mm) were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 64 third molars and randomly divided into four groups of 16. in the control group, single bond (sb) adhesive was applied after etching. in bb+sb...
