in this paper, we discuss the ways that communication accommodation theory (cat) can be a useful framework for understanding and diagnosing interactional issues in interpersonal and intergroup conflict situations. we argue that the theory’s construct of attuning strategies provides a multidimensional view of mutual adjustment, leading to insights relevant to successful versus unsuccessful confl...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Sexual differences in the transcript levels of various genes including the hepatic isoforms of cytochrome P450 have been extensively studied. Expression of these sexual dimorphic genes have been quantified by Northern blotting, nuclear run on assays and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods using numerous housekeeping genes to normalize results. Ear...

it seems that resolution of internal conflict is studied less than the international one. current literature in this regard is not focused on theoretical aspects of conflict resolution, particularly, on conditions and necessaries of resolving these kinds of conflicts. nevertheless, in political science literature it is possible to find some texts that implicitly or explicitly are related to thi...

Enolases are highly conserved proteins that catalyze the interconversion of 2-phosphoglyceric acid and phosphoenolpyruvate [1]. This is an essential step during glycolysis as well as gluconeogenesis. Interestingly, evolution has incorporated multiple novel non-glycolytic functions in several glycolytic enzymes (Reviewed in [2]). Such non-glycolytic or ‘moonlighting functions’ of enolase range f...

Careful normalization is essential for the accurate quantitation of mRNA levels in biopsy-sized tissue samples. Commonly, normalization of the target gene with an endogenous standard, mainly housekeeping genes (HKGs), is applied. However, differences in the expression levels of endogenous reference genes have been reported between different tissues and pathological states. Therefore, we were ch...
