the convergence hypothesis maintains that an economy whose productivity lags behind other economies has a potential to grow faster. in other words, this economy can experience faster economic growth through absorbing, accepting, and using available technology experience. in this study, we have examined the relationship between tfp of industry sectors and regional convergence in iran's prov...

abstract seafood is valuable protein sources for human being and acts important role in a healthy diet. due to probability of fish contamination, from catch time to consume time with different microorganisms, there’s different technics to prevent fish spoilage. the present study purposed to investigate the effect of encapsulated thyme (zataria multiflora boiss) extract and chitosan to inhibit l...

In the classical game of Cops and Robbers on graphs, the capture time is defined by the least number of moves needed to catch all robbers with the smallest amount of cops that suffice. While the case of one cop and one robber is well understood, it is an open question how long it takes for multiple cops to catch multiple robbers. We show that capturing ` ∈ O (n) robbers can take Ω (` · n) time,...

The aim of this study was to estimate the time elapsed between the birth and the occurrence of catch-up growth in the first 12 months of life, in groups of infants born with low birth weight (less than or equal to 2500g). Postnatal catch-up growth had occurred in 100 cases (60 boys and 40 girls). There were no statistical differences between the sexes in the frequency of growth compensation and...

Background and Purpose—The purpose of the study was to compare efficacy and potential complications of 2 commercially available devices for mechanical thromboembolectomy. Methods—Devices were tested in an established animal model allowing the use of routine angiography catheters and thrombectomy devices. Radio-opaque thrombi were used for visualization of thrombus–device interaction during angi...

In the midt a time when the concept of Syndrome X was being introduced by Reaven (1) to draw attention to the cardiovascular risks associated with insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia, Tanner (2) was emphasizing a fundamental property of human growth as a targetseeking function: Children, no less than rockets, have their trajectories, governed by control systems of their genetic...

compensatory growth response and body composition of male sailfin molly, poecilia latipinna subjected to short-term starvation and subsequent feeding were studied for 54 days. four feeding schedules were used in this study: c, control (were fed to apparent satiation throughout the experiment); t1, treatment 1 (3 days starvation and 6 days refeeding); t2, treatment 2 (6 days starvation and 12 da...
