abiotic stress such as cold and drought has adverse effects on plants growth and development. abiotic stress resistance is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. this goal can be achieved through transcription factor gene transfer to plants. recent studies show many successes in improving abiotic stress resistance by use of transcription factor gene transfer. the objective of the re...

in an effort to expand the disciplinary discussions on transfer in l2 writing and because most studies have focused on transfer as reuse and not as an adequate adaptation of writing knowledge in new contexts, the present study as the first of its kind aimed to explore the issue of adaptive transfer in an english for general academic purposes (egap) writing course. the study thus focused on type...

Dialyzable transfer factor was prepared from the spleens of CF1 mice actively sensitized with killed Coccidioides immitis antigen. The transfer factor was administered to normal mice either intraperitoneally or into the hind footpads. The recipient mice were tested for reactivity to the coccidioides antigen and to Candida albicans antigen by means of the footpad swelling test. The transfer fact...

-4 young man with alveolar soft part sarcoma and his identical twin xvere studied in terms of immunologic response to the patient’s tumor homogenate. The lymphocytes from both twins underwent lymphoblastic transformation to tumor homogenate but only the healthy twin’s lymphocytes released demonstrable migration inhibition factor (RIIF) to the tumor preparation. Transfer factor \vas prepared fro...

thin film phthalocyanines(pc), incloding zinc, iron, and magnesium phthalocyani-nes, were prepared by vacuum deposition method. chronocoulometry was used to study the charge transfer reaction mechanism of ionic species through the thin films. the results obtained in chronocoulometric studies shows that the thin film phthalocyanines could operate via two mechanisms.the first mechanism metal pc t...

abstract      background and objective: diabetes mellitus is the most common risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad). cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) taqib polymorphism is associated with changes in lipid profile and may be a risk factor for cad in patients with diabetes. this study aimed to evaluate the association of cetp taqib polymorphism with cad in patients with type 2 dia...

Purpose: The knowledge transfer in educational systems, especially higher education plays an important role in improving their educational and non-educational functions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was presenting the strategic orientation model of knowledge transfer in Applied Sciences Comprehensive University. Methodology: This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of im...

All ligands of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) are synthesized as membrane-anchored precursors. Previous work has suggested that some ligands, such as EGF, must be proteolytically released to be active, whereas others, such as heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) can function while still anchored to the membrane (i.e., juxtacrine signaling). To explore the structura...

thermal resistance of the external walls of buildings is highly important for reducing and optimizing the energy consumption needed for heating and cooling the buildings. identifying and evaluation of the thermal performance of common external wall systems can be very effective in improving the heat resistance. the hollow clay- block system extremely are in use in the iran construction system, ...

Tumor-specific transfer factor may produce an increase in cell-mediated cytotoxicity to the tumor in patients with osteogenic sarcoma. This possibility is suggested by the pain and edema that occurred in the area of the tumor in patients who had metastatic disease when therapy was started and by lymphocytic infiltrates in the tumor, as well as by the increase in cell-mediated cytotoxicity and t...
