The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of import of technology on Iranian Economy. We have used multi-sectoral and multi–regional computable general equilibrium GTAP model. Transfer of technology from one region to another is another factor effecting productivity. Trade is one of the channels that speeds the transfer of technology. The effect of a ten percent productivity shock, in...

Oil price shocks are the major source of economic instability in oil exporting developing countries, including Iran. In this paper a Multi Sector Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model, with emphasis on optimization of oil sector as a producing sector is designed. Furthermore, an optimizing import sector is introduced into the model by considering the price rigidity in imported goods as a...

Import of tRNA into the mitochondrial matrix of Trypanosoma brucei was reconstituted in vitro. Efficient import required the hydrolysis of externally added ATP and was shown to be a carrier-mediated process depending on proteinaceous receptors on the surface of mitochondria. A partly synthetic tRNA(Tyr) as well as a physiological tRNA(Lys) were imported along the same pathway. Contrary to impor...

Mitochondrial biogenesis is accompanied by an increased expression of components of the protein import machinery, as well as increased import of proteins destined for the matrix. We evaluated the role of the outer membrane receptor Tom20 by varying its expression and measuring changes in the import of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) in differentiating C2C12 muscle cells. Cells transfected with Tom20...

The import of proteins into peroxisomes possesses many unusual features such as the ability to import folded proteins, and a surprising diversity of targeting signals with differing affinities that can be recognized by the same receptor. As understanding of the structure and function of many components of the protein import machinery has grown, an increasingly complex network of factors affecti...

Leucoplasts are important organelles for the synthesis and storage of starch, lipids and proteins. However, molecular mechanism of protein import into leucoplasts and how it differs from that of import into chloroplasts remain unknown. We used pea seedlings for both chloroplast and leucoplast isolations to compare within the same species. We further optimized the isolation and import conditions...

essential properties of trust its dynamics context-dependence, calculation, evolution It should be possible to reason about trust across contexts to import trust model into a programming language to include trust model in designing trustworthy computing systems IFIP2008 – p. 5/18 Intension and Extension Intensional logic permits expressions whose value depends on hidden contexts. The real meani...

In practice, signal extraction is based on finite samples X1, ..., XT and, very often, current estimates of the interesting components (t = T ) import: a socalled ‘concurrent’ or ‘real-time’ estimate of the trend or of its turning-points has a strong prospective content, since the future evolution of the time series is likely to be conditioned by this component. Whereas forecasting tools genera...

The nuclear protein regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) stimulates guanine nucleotide exchange on a protein, Ran, that is required for nuclear protein import. In the present report, we confirm that RCC1 is also required for nuclear protein import in tsBN2 hamster cells in vivo. The thermolability of nuclear protein import in tsBN2 cells was suppressed by microinjection of purified Ran...
