Recent studies have produced mixed evidence about inequity aversion in nonhuman primates. Brosnan et al. [Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences 272:253-258, 2005] found inequity aversion in chimpanzees and argued that effort is crucial, if subjects are to evaluate how they are rewarded in comparison to a competitor for an identical performance. In this study ...

Through an age- and sex-matched case-control study, we sought to determine whether female sex workers have an increased risk of Toxoplasma gondii exposure and to determine the sociodemographic, work, clinical, and behavioral characteristics of these workers associated with T. gondii exposure. Female workers (n = 136) and controls (n = 272) were examined with enzyme-linked immunoassays (EIA) for...

غلاف سوخت‌های هسته‌ای یکی از مهم‌ترین اجزا رآکتور محسوب می‌شود. این غلاف‌ها آلیاژ زیرکونیم ساخته می‌شوند؛ اما خواص ترمومکانیکی چندان مناسبی ندارند؛ لذا در پژوهش سعی شده با تغییر مواد به‌کاررفته NuScale به یک نوترونیکی و مناسب دست پیدا شود. قلب موجب ضریب تکثیر مؤثر طول بازه سوخت‌گذاری می‌گردد. شبیه‌سازی که M5 بهره می‌برد به‌عنوان معیار هم‌­چنین همراه سه نوع دیگر آلیاژهای رایج دو آن FeCrAl است، د...

Immunization with wild-type sequence (wt) p53 epitopes represents a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer patients with tumors accumulating mutant p53. To evaluate usefulness of p53-derived peptides as future cancer vaccines, frequencies of wt p53(264-272) peptide-specific CD8+ T cells were determined in the peripheral circulation of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (S...

Leptospirosis is a reemerging infectious disease and the most disseminated zoonosis worldwide. A leptospiral surface protein, LipL32, only occurs in pathogenic Leptospira, and is the most abundant protein on the bacterial surface, being described as an important factor in host immunogenic response and also in bacterial infection. We describe here an alternative and simple purification protocol ...

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) mediate rapid excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems. They transduce binding of nerve-released ACh into opening of an intrinsic channel, yet the structural basis underlying transduction is not fully understood. Previous studies revealed a principal transduction pathway in which alphaArg 209 of the pre-M1 d...
