Flux and flux-ratio equations are derived on the basis of the phenomenological equations of irreversible thermodynamics. Deviations of flux-ratios from that given by the often quoted Ussing (1949) relation are predicted, even in the absence of active transport, by considering the dependence of coupled fluxes on the membrane potential. The treatment is extended to include the interpretation of f...

as part of a wider attempt to bestow the spirit of scholarly prose upon the research articles’ rhetorical structure, academic writers invariably take advantage of quantity metadiscourse markers to avoid prolixity and live up to the implicit and explicit maxims of quantity category as suggested in gricean cp and similar models.  in order to develop a clear understanding of quantity strategies di...

the fact that life styles and personal interests, aggregate within families suggests that shared environment in addition to shared bioligical factors could play a role in determining the phenotypic similarity of idividuals living in the same household. it is a major concern of cardiovascular epidemiologists to know how much of the familial aggregation of blood pressure is attributable to shared...

Abstracts are well-accepted as the clarity and fidelity of language in any article assists the readership to get the central points of the research in a brief l but effective manner. Meanwhile, as a significant feature of any piece of discourse, meta-discourse markers can effectively render article abstract texts more reader-friendly and coherent. The present study aims at investigating the ext...

This research was an attempt to find the relationship between English discourse markers and their Farsi translations. It was conducted in order to find out whether DMs translations completely demonstrate source texts orientation and to what extent DMs translations are functionally appropriate compared to the original text? Six instruments were used. Three of them were the original English books...

metadiscourse markers help writers make coherent and reader- friendly texts, thus of considerable importance in academic writing. the main aim of this study was to investigate how interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers are used by iranian efl learners. an inquiry was carried out to investigate cross-cultural similarities and differences in the use of metadiscourse markers in the di...

although candida albicans is the most common etiologic agent of candidiasis, c. dubliniensis, has been emerged, as another pathogen resembles c. albicans in many phenotypic aspects and noted for its in vitro potential for fluconazole resistance. since there was no evidence of any report about detection of this organism in iran, this study was designed to use of five different tests for identifi...

background due to a recent alarming increase in the number of hiv-hcv co-infected patients in romania. objectives a cross sectional study was conducted to assess the baseline predictors of liver disease evolution. patients and methods 83 hiv-hcv co-infected patients, untreated for hcv infection, were evaluated for viral replication, liver fibrosis (estimated by a noninvasive marker - fib4), and...
