Cellular competence is an essential but poorly understood aspect of development. Is competence a general property that affects multiple signaling pathways (e.g., chromatin state), or is competence specific for each signaling pathway (e.g., availability of cofactors)? Here we find that Drosophila neuroblast 7-1 (NB7-1) has a single early window of competence to respond to four different temporal...

this study intends to propose a modern model in the field of human resources (hr) strategic management through designing human resources’ competence framework. based on this strategic orientation of organization on human resources management system has been investigated considering the mediating role of competence approach in central bank of the islamic republic of iran. in order to implement a...

the aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between attachment styles (secure, avoidant and ambivalent) and satisfying basic psychological needs of children (independence, competence and relevance) with regard to mothers’ employment status. the subjects included 409 high school students selected randomly by multi-stage cluster sampling method. instruments were: attachment styles ...

In this paper, we consider the expansion processes of competence sets which have asymmetric cost functions, intermediate skills, and compound skills; among the skills, cyclic connections are possible. We introduce the concept of the stage expansion process (SEP) of the competence set, and provide mathematical programming methods to ®nd a minimal cost SEP and the ordering of expansion. Ó 2000 El...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of competencies and environmental factors on the success of rural entrepreneurs in kermanshah township. the statistical population consisted of 110 rural entrepreneurs that with using kerjci and morgan table, a sample size of 86 people were selected by random sampling technique. to collect the data, questionnaire was used. the analysis of find...

An important question is how dividing stem cells maintain competence to generate multiple cell types, whereas most other cells become progressively restricted during development. The molecular basis for progenitor competence--or how competence is progressively restricted--has remained mysterious. Recent work has shown that Drosophila neuroblasts and mammalian neural progenitors are more similar...

The longitudinal associations between maternal parenting behavior and toddler risk with children's emotional and social competence were examined during the transition to kindergarten, in a sample of 253 children. Toddler risk was characterized by early externalizing behavior and poor emotion regulation skills. Given that we were interested in the multiple pathways that may result in emotional a...
