The adapter protein Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) is critical for multiple aspects of T cell development and function. Through its protein-binding domains, SLP-76 serves as a platform for the assembly of multiple enzymes and adapter proteins that function together to activate second messengers required for TCR signal propagation. The N terminus of S...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study investigated financial and treatment implications of a speech-language pathologist (SLP) performing a voice evaluation at the initial laryngologic visit. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Medical records from 75 consecutive adult voice therapy patients during a 3-month period were categorized into two groups: group 1 (n = 37) represented patie...

this paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. in this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. the suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

In this paper we present a new method for proving the existence of an eigenvalue below the essential spectrum for Sturm-Liouville operators with coefficients which are L1 perturbations of periodic functions. This method combines operator theory and “standard” numerical analysis with interval arithmetic analysis. We illustrate the method by showing that the SturmLiouville problem (SLP) consistin...

This paper describes the World Trade Model, a linear program that determines world prices, scarcity rents, and international trade flows based on comparative advantage in a world economy with m regions, n goods, and k factors. Major properties of the model are demonstrated, including the sources of the gains from trade for the world as a whole and for individual regions. Preliminary empirical r...

B cell linker protein (BLNK) and Src homology 2 domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kD (SLP-76) are adaptor proteins required for B cell receptor (BCR) and T cell receptor function, respectively. Here, we show that expression of SLP-76 cannot reconstitute BCR function in Zap-70(+)BLNK(-) B cells. This could be attributable to inability of SLP-76 to be recruited into glycolipid-enriched mi...

PURPOSE To study the correlation between local perimetric field defects and glaucoma-induced thickness reduction of the nerve layer measured in the peripapillary area with scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SOCT) and to compare the results with those of a theoretical model. METHODS The thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer was determined in...

Background: To date, there is no specific instrument to measure evidence-based practice (EBP) in Speech and Language Pathology (SLP). Therefore, it is essential to design a valid and reliable instrument in the EBP field for SLP. Aim: To develop a speech and language pathology evidence-based practice questionnaire (SLP-EBPQ) for the Iranian context and evaluate its psychometric properties. Metho...

introduction: rainfall is affected by changes in the global sea level change, especially changes in sea surface temperature sst sea surface temperature and sea level pressure slp sea level pressure. climate anomalies being related to each other at large distance is called teleconnection. as physical relationships between rainfall and teleconnection patterns are not defined clearly, we used inte...

We use long instrumental temperature series together with available field reconstructions of sea-level pressure (SLP) and three-dimensional climate model simulations to analyze relations between temperature anomalies and atmospheric circulation patterns over much of Europe and the Mediterranean for the late winter/early spring (January–April, JFMA) season. A Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA)...
