زمینه و هدف: خلق مثبت انعطاف‌پذیری شناختی از عوامل تقویت کننده خلاقیت شناخته‌ می‌شوند. مطالعه حاضر با این فرض که احتمالاً اثرگذاری بر موجب ارتقا می‌شود، مهم را در بازه سنی 8 تا 12 سال بررسی کرده است. روش پژوهش: جامعة پژوهش شامل کلیه دانش آموزان دختر ۱۲ ساله مناطق 4 ۸ شهر تهران بودند. جامعه 60 نفر دو گروه ۱۰ (76/0±80/8) (76/0±20/11) به نمونه‌گیری دسترس انتخاب شد. پس جایگذاری تصادفی افراد گروه‌های...

OBJECTIVE The potential insulin-sensitizing function of angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade (ARB) with regard to selected adipokines is not fully explained so far. Our study aimed to explore the influence of acute hyperinsulinaemia and acutely induced ARB on resistin and adiponectin concentrations and expressions in healthy subjects. DESIGN AND METHODS Plasma adipokines were measured: 1) ...

Andy Clark and David Chalmers argue that the mind sometimes extends outside the body to encompass features of the environment (HEC). HEC has been criticised by Fred Adams, Kenneth Aizawa, and Robert Rupert. In this paper, I argue for two claims: (1) HEC is a harder target than those critics have supposed; HEC is entailed by functionalism, a commonly held view in philosophy of mind, and one to w...

The last few years have witnessed an enormous study in the area of integrated hydrological modeling with GIS application. In this research, attempt was made to critically look at the application of HEC-GeoHMS which is an extension of ArcView in HEC-HMS; an HEC package which is a new generation of software being developed for rainfall-runoff simulation. The main role of HEC-GeoHMS is to formulat...

Reduced intrahepatic nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and increased cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1)-derived vasoconstrictor prostanoids modulate the hepatic vascular tone in cirrhosis. We aimed at investigating the reciprocal interactions between NO and COX in the hepatic endothelium of control and cirrhotic rats. NO bioavailability (DAF-FM-DA staining), superoxide (O(2)(-)) content (DHE staining), p...
