the iranian poultry sector has experienced many significant structural changes in recent years. such changes may have influenced price dynamics and transmission of shocks through marketing channels especially on retail markets. this paper investigate price transmission, threshold behavior and asymmetric adjustment in poultry sector of ardebil (ar), east azerbaijan (ea) and west azerbaijan (wa) ...

“layla wa madjnun” is one of the most prominence of lyric stories that is in it’s structure‚ content and motifs similar with “orwe wa afrae” story. both of them are an appearance from ozri love. therefore this loving stories are fitting for comparison. writers in this article intend to compaire‚descrip and analysis in this two stories; and show the most important features of ozri love. writers ...

Activation of inflammatory pathways via reactive oxygen species (ROS) by free fatty acids (FFA) in obesity gives rise to insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. Withaferin A (WA), possesses both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and therefore would be a good strategy to suppress palmitic acid (PA)-induced oxidative stress and inflammation and hence, insulin resistance and dys...

In this study, I propose a refinement of Kuroda’s (1972, 1990) claim that the categorical and thetic judgments are realized syntactically in Japanese. Succinctly put, Kuroda argues that sentences with the topic marker wa represent categorical judgments whereas those with the nominative marker ga represent thetic judgments. In the present study, I demonstrate that wa-sentences do not uniformly r...

Considering features, such as obvious nonlinear and chaotic characteristics, of the time series of landslide displacement, this paper proposed a wavelet analysis and support vector machine coupling model (WA-SVM) to predict the displacement of a landslide. The monitored time series of displacement firstly is decomposed into several components, including high frequency components and low frequen...

BACKGROUND Previous research has examined how age and health can shape workability (WA). This study seeks to explore how a lack of WA (inability) may affect the health of the employee. AIMS To explore the effects of work inability on mental wellbeing among therapeutic prison officers. METHODS An anonymous cross-sectional study of prison officers conducted in a category B English prison usin...

Word alignment (WA) between a pair of sentences in the same or different languages is a key component of many natural language processing tasks. It is commonly used for identifying the translation relationships between words and phrases in parallel sentences from two different languages. WA-Continuum is a tool designed for the visualisation of WAs. It was initially built to aid research studyin...

Careful wavelength assignment (WA) to support lambda services is necessary to reduce the total number of wavelength converters (WCs), which are required every time the wavelength continuity constraint cannot be met in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. With the successful introduction of reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) and related technologies, WDM networks a...
