mental health in adolescents is influenced by several factors. body image is one of the factors in predicting mental health. moreover, it affects social communication and creates the social anxiety. the present study is cross-sectional and correlational. the statistical population is the guidance and high school students in shiraz in 2013-2014 that 180 students include 101 girls and 79 boys wer...

aim and background: schemas are cognitive patterns that have a major impact on the perception and behavior. therefore, it is necessary to investigate their role in determining and changing health related behaviors in ms patients. the purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of illness perception on the relationship between early maladaptive schemas in the domain of rejection...

Motivated by recent best case analyses for some sorting algorithms and based on the type of complexity we partition the algorithms into two classes: homogeneous and non-homogeneous algorithms.1 Although both classes contain algorithms with worst and best cases, homogeneous algorithms behave uniformly on all instances. This partition clarifies in a completely mathematical way the previously ment...

The 26-subunit, 1.2 MDa human Mediator complex is essential for expression of perhaps all protein-coding genes. Activator binding triggers major structural shifts within Mediator, suggesting a straightforward means to spatially and temporally regulate Mediator activity. By using mass spectrometry (MudPIT) and other techniques, we have compared the subunit composition of Mediator in three differ...

In this study, a homogeneous method featuring simple, one-step detection was developed to analyze hippuric acid (HA), a major metabolite of toluene. High sensitivity was achieved with the facile immobilization of poly(vinylimidazole) (PVI) on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. Using a previously developed approach, pentacyanoferrate was coordinated with pyridyl-N ligands, and the redox-active...
