The naturally occurring polyamines, putrescine, spermidine and spermine, have been implicated in many growth processes and in differentiation (Cohen, 1971; Bachrach, 1973; Russell & Durie, 1978). Their concentrations and the activity of their biosynthetic enzymes increase significantly in proliferating cells (Tabor & Tabor, 1976; Janne & Raina, 1968) and neoplastic tissues (Bachrach, 1978; Russ...

In this paper we introduce the SpeakCorrect system which is a Computer Aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system for native Arabic students of English. The system is designed with optimized performance for the target users group. It is L1 dependent system and only the frequent pronunciation errors of native Arabic speakers are examined. Several adaptation techniques such as Speaker Adaptive Tr...

An analytic study was conducted on coupled partial differential equations. We formally derived new solitary wave solutions of generalized coupled system of Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and KdV equations by using modified extended tanh method. The traveling wave solutions for each generalized coupled system of ZK and KdV equations are shown in form of periodic, dark, and bright solitary wave solution...

The author contends that sex differentials in childhood mortality in Pakistan are a likely outcome of son preference behavior by parents. Consideration is given to the historical improvement in the female disadvantage in mortality, the neglect of female children, gender and class factors, and son preference and high fertility.
