testing as a general trait of social life has received a great deal of attention by many language teachers and scholars. throughout history, people have been tested to prove their abilities and experiences or to confirm their capacities. many authorities have said that assessment and instruction should be integrated as a single and inseparable activity which seeks to understand development by a...

background: total knee arthroplasty is a complex procedure aiming to relieve pain and improve function. it is critical to select prosthesis that best cover the bone surfaces. ethnicity may affect fitness of the components mainly designed for caucasian populations. this study aimed to evaluate morphometric features of proximal tibia in iranian population.   methods : during 2013, 150 consecutive...

background: the salvage proximal femoral osteotomy is performed in mild or moderate osteoarthritis when the articulating surfaces are normal and relieves the subject’s pain. because the importance of angular mal-alignment of the femur bone at the hip junction accurate pre-op planning based on patient specific anatomy is required to prevent any lower limb misalignment and joint problem pre-opera...

abstract   background: to evaluate proximal junctional segment changes in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(ais) the posterior spinal fusion and also instrumentation also and finding of probable risk factors, were all considered in this study.   methods: we retrospectively reviewed radiographs of 121 consecutive patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion for ais from t3 or below, with a mean ...

Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...

Objective - The aim of this study was to measure the ratio of bone cortex (C) to bone diameter (D), (C/D) in radius/tibia, metacarpus /metatarsus and proximal phalanges in fore and hindlimbs to be used as a diagnostic guide in metabolic and nutritional diseases in Minature Donkey. Design- Experimental study Animals- Eight adult Minature donkeys. Procedures- Lateromedial, dorsopalmar and dors...

Clinical cytogenetic laboratories frequently identify an apparent duplication of proximal 15q that does not involve probes within the PWS/AS critical region and is not associated with any consistent phenotype. Previous mapping data placed several pseudogenes, NF1, IgH D/V, and GABRA5 in the pericentromeric region of proximal 15q. Recent studies have shown that these pseudogene sequences have in...

A conditional block to transcriptional elongation is an important mechanism for regulating c-myc gene expression. This elongation block within the first c-myc exon was defined originally in mammalian cells by nuclear run-on transcription analyses. Subsequent oocyte injection and in vitro transcription analyses suggested that sequences near the end of the first c-myc exon are sites of attenuatio...

High-dimensional covariance matrix estimation is one of the fundamental and important problems in multivariate analysis has a wide range applications many fields. In practice, it common that composed low-rank sparse matrix. this paper we estimate by solving constrained Lq-type regularized optimization problem. We establish first-order optimality conditions for problem using proximal mapping sub...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of best proximal contraction theorems in non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space for two mappings and prove some proximal theorems. As a consequence, it provides the existence of an optimal approximate solution to some equations which contains no solution. The obtained results extend further the recently development proximal contractions in non-Archimedean fuz...
