This study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. In two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. In experiment I, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...

Background: Tariff setting in healthcare is an important control knob affecting the quality, access and cost of services. As part of Iran Health Transformation Plan (HTP) in 2014, the relative value of health care and services was increased to motivate healthcare providers to deliver high quality services. This study aimed to examine the impact of HTP on health services tariffs. Methods: This ...

objective: to assess relative biological effectiveness (rbe) of 131i radiation relative to 60co gamma rays in glioblastoma spheroid cells. materials and methods: in this experimental study, glioblastoma spheroid cells were exposed to 131i radiation and 60co gamma rays. radiation induced dna damage was evaluated by alkaline comet assay. samples of spheroid cells were treated by radiation from 13...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module. We define the small intersection graph $G(M)$ of $M$ with all non-small proper submodules of $M$ as vertices and two distinct vertices $N, K$ are adjacent if and only if $Ncap K$ is a non-small submodule of $M$. In this article, we investigate the interplay between the graph-theoretic properties of $G(M)$ and algebraic properties of $M...

aim : to evaluate the effect of active t. gondii tachyzoites and its products on the gene expression level of ifn-yr1 and ifn-yr2 in a murine model.   background : many studies have shown that the parasite toxoplasma gondii utilizes different mechanisms to inhibit the function of ifn-?, but the parasite effect on the function of ifn-yr1 and ifn-yr2 is still unclear. patients and methods : toxop...

There is clear evidence that the vessel wall is an aldosterone target tissue, and that aldosterone at physiological levels produces vasoconstriction by genomic and rapid nongenomic actions.1 Similarly, in clinical studies cited by Duffy et al,2 patients with primary aldosteronism show impaired flow-mediated dilatation among other indices of endothelial dysfunction;3,4 in addition, mineralocorti...

the purpose of the present randomized clinical trial study was to compare the effectiveness of bovine porous bone mineral (bpbm) with and without plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) in the treatment of mandibular class ii furcation defects.in seven patients, nine pairs of symmetric buccal or lingual mandibular class ii furcation defects were treated. in each patient, one defect received bpbm (...
