convergence hypothesis is one of the results of neoclassical growth model, which has been examined recently. this hypothesis has two forms of absolute and conditional beta-convergence and implies that regions with lower per capita output have higher per capita growth rates. since there is no data for regional gdp in iran, there has been n study to test convergence hypothesis in iran. our main c...

Background:The zinc-finger X linked (ZFX) gene encodes a transcription factor that acts as a regulator of self-renewal of stem cells. Due to the role of ZFX in cell growth, understanding ZFX protein-protein interactions helps to clarify its proper biological functions in signaling pathways. The aim of this study is to define ZFX protein-protein interactions and the role of ZFX in cell growth. ...

Hexarelin, a synthetic growth hormone-releasing peptide, can bind to and activate the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in the brain similar to its natural analog ghrelin. However, the peripheral distribution of GHSR in the heart and blood vessels suggests that hexarelin might have direct cardiovascular actions beyond growth hormone release and neuroendocrine effects. Furthermore, the...

Quality continuing education, therefore, is a direct outgrowth of the Mission and long-range goals of the NLN. It is defined as a personal educational experience, planned for individual growth and the ongoing development of knowledge and skills beyond basic preparation for a profession or occupation. Its objective is the continuous improvement of the individual's nursing practice (in whatever r...

The cytoskeleton is an early attribute of cellular life, and its main components are composed of conserved proteins. The actin cytoskeleton has a direct impact on the control of cell size in animal cells, but its mechanistic contribution to cellular growth in plants remains largely elusive. Here, we reveal a role of actin in regulating cell size in plants. The actin cytoskeleton shows proximity...

abstract: the main objective of this paper is to estimate the tourism impact on the economic growth of iranian provinces over the period of 2000-2010. for achieving this aim, the panel data approach has been used to the economic growth modeling. the empirical findings show that tourist receipts have a positive impact on the economic growth in iranian provinces. it was found that a 10 percent in...

This paper uses regional panel data to investigate the mechanism of how FDI has contributed to China’s regional development through quantifying regional marketization level. It is found that FDI inflow generates a demonstration effect in identifying regional market conditions for investment in fixed assets and hence affects industrial location. In addition, its effects on regional export and re...
