inflation forecasting has been one of the requirements for the implementation of monetary policy in countries which their monetary authorities are pursuing inflation targeting regime. however, owing to central bank independence in one hand and as well as the lagged effects of monetary policies on inflation in the other, the monetary authorities should have the sound perspective about the future...

value added is a criterion for evaluating the performance of economic units. statistics related to various economic indicators of industrial workshops located in iranian provinces with their value added are annually obtained by statistical centre of iran via “industrial workshops survey” program. this study is going to find the most important factors affecting the value added of the workshops, ...

An identity links the rate of economic growth, the speed of poverty reduction and changes in the distribution of income during some time period in a given country. A few authors used that identity to understand the causes for observed changes in poverty and to identify the exact role of economic growth in poverty reduction. Yet, many empirical cross-country studies of the relationship between g...

We have tested the ability of the c13 protein, which is a hybrid protein of the first 81 amino acids of the viral nonstructural protein (NS1) and the HA2 subunit of viral hemagglutination produced in E. coli, to render target cells susceptible to the lytic activity of influenza virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The results showed that P815 cells coated with c13 protein were lysed by...

We have tested the abilities of various polypeptides of A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) virus, constructed by recombinant DNA techniques, to induce influenza virus-specific secondary cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. A hybrid protein (c13 protein), consisting of the first 81 amino acids of viral nonstructural protein (NS1) and the HA2 subunit of viral hemagglutinin (HA), induced H-2-restricted, influenz...

One of the mechanisms of cisplatin cell cytotoxicity is the mitochondria-associated induction of apoptosis. The morphological or functional change of mitochondria in cisplatin-resistant cells has already been reported. Herein we present additional data describing the mitochondrial genomic and functional changes in cisplatin- resistant cells. Cisplatin increased the level of apoptotic cells in c...
