the aim of the paper is to survey factors productivity in small & medium scale manufactories located in toos industrial town. in order to achieve this purpose, production functions of different industrial groups are estimated on the base of cross-section data in 2005. then elasticity of factors production, average productivity, marginal productivity, labor intensive and capital intensive are de...

the introduction of ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) in the practice of lung transplantation has allowed the reconditioning of the marginal grafts and their conversion into transplantable grafts. in addition, evlp can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. while the toronto team targets the attenuation of th...

background. this study evaluated the effect of two prophylaxis techniques on the marginal gap of ci v resin-modified glass-ionomer restorations. methods. standard cl v cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 48 sound bovine mandibular incisors in this in vitro study. after restoration of the cavities with gc fuji ii lc resin-modified glass-ionomer, the samples were randomly assigned to...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has attracted attention as a promising second generation biofuel feedstock. Both existing grasslands and marginal croplands have been suggested as targets for conversion to switchgrass, but the resulting production potentials and hydrologic impacts are not clear. The objectives of this study were to model switchgrass production on existing grasslands (scenario-...

The breakdown in tolerance of autoreactive B cells in the lupus-prone NZM2410-derived B6.Sle1.Sle2.Sle3 (TC) mice results in the secretion of autoantibodies. TC dendritic cells (DCs) enhance B cell proliferation and antibody secretion in a cytokine-dependent manner. However, the specific cytokine milieu by which TC DCs activate B cells was not known. In this study, we compared TC and C57BL/6 (B...

Approximately 100,000 youths are currently incarcerated in the US, yet little is known whether such a penalty deters future crime or interrupts human capital formation in a way that increases the likelihood of later criminal behavior. This paper uses the incarceration tendency of randomly-assigned judges as an instrumental variable to estimate causal effects of juvenile incarceration on adult r...
