Regression and neural network models of wage determination are constructed where the explanatory variables include detailed information about the impact of school curricula on future earnings. It is established that there are strong nonlinearities and interaction effects present in the relationship between curriculum and earnings. The results have important implications in the context of the hu...

Referring to Figure 1, a system for using a PLL to generate higher frequencies than the input, the VCO oscillates at an angular frequency of ωO. A portion of this signal is fed back to the error detector, via a frequency divider with a ratio 1/N. This divided down frequency is fed to one input of the error detector. The other input in this example is a fixed reference signal. The error detector...

Objective(s): Bill duct ligation (BDL) is a representative model of biliary cholestasis in animals. Curcumin has a protective effect on the liver; however, its underlying mechanisms are not completely known. This study explored the hepatoprotective activity of curcumin on hepatic damage via measuring the expression of sirtuin3 (SIRT3), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), carnitine palmitoyltra...

Native tissues are characterized by spatially organized three-dimensional (3D) microscaled units which functionally define cells-cells and cells-extracellular matrix interactions. The ability to engineer biomimetic constructs mimicking these 3D microarchitectures is subject to the control over cell distribution and organization. In the present study we introduce a novel protocol to generate 3D ...

abstract: genotyping of the hepatitis c virus (hcv) is important for designing therapeutic strategies and regional specific diagnostic assays. the aim of this study was to identify the hcv genotypes in hcv infected blood donors. this is the first report on hcv genotypes in blood donors in iran. in this cross-sectional study, 103 blood donors with hepatitis c were investigated for hcv genotypes....
