We use nine waves of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) to investigate the large labor market height premium observed in the BHPS, where each inch of height is associated with a 1.5 percent increase in wages, for both men and women. We find that half of the premium can be explained by the association between height and educational attainment among BHPS participants. Of the remaining prem...

The toxicity of 7 herbicides to the three cyanobacteria was tested in this work. The results indicated that: (1) There was a highly significant relationship between dried weight or chlorophyll-a and OD680nm for tested cyanobacteria; (2) the toxicity of the tested herbicides with the order from high to low was: photosynthesis-inhibiting > ACCase inhibitor > protox inhibiting herbicides; (3) the ...

Regulation of the cytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) gene promoter from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was studied in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants using a beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene fusion (PvACCase::GUS). Under normal growth conditions, GUS was expressed in hydathodes, stipules, trichome bases, flowers, pollen, and embryos. In roots, expressi...

parkinson’s disease is the second most common age associated neuron degenerative disorder in developed societies. with the prevalence ranging from 41 per 100000 in the fourth decade of life to over 1900 per 100000 in people over 80 years of age.it characterized clinically by resting tremor, slowness of movement, rigidity and postural instability in the result of progressive loss of dopaminergic...

objective(s) inhibitors of p38 map kinase are considered as suitable target in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and bowel inflammatory diseases. the development of 5-alkylthio-1-aryl-2-(4-pyridinyl) triazoles as inhibitors of p38 map kinase is described. these are analogues of 4- pyridinyl imidazole p38 map kinase inhibitor reported by merck research laborator...

dyslipidemia has become a common problem in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) disease, especially in patients on combination antiretroviral therapy. we investigated the prevalence of and factors associated with dyslipidemia in hiv-infected patients in iran. in this cross-sectional study, 190 hiv positive patients who referring to behavioral disease consulting centers (shemiranat, varamin) and ...

alkyl imidazolines have been reportedly used in a wide range of industrial formulations with different applications. ethoxylated alkyl imidazolines with appropriate ethoxylation degrees can be used as antioxidants and retarders in the formation of peroxides resulting from oxidation in hydrocarbon media. in this work, ethoxylated imidazolines were shown to be more effective in hydrocarbon media ...
