Building a Dream vs. Destroying an Idea

Building and Destroying Continental Mantle

Continents, especially their Archean cores, are underlain by thick thermal boundary layers that have been largely isolated from the convecting mantle over billion-year timescales, far exceeding the life span of oceanic thermal boundary layers. This longevity is promoted by the fact that continents are underlain by highly melt-depleted peridotites, which result in a chemically distinct boundary ...

A Pathway Idea for Model Building.

Models, mathematical or stochastic, which move from one functional form to another through pathway parameters, so that in between stages can be captured, are examined in this article. Models which move from generalized type-1 beta family to type-2 beta family, to generalized gamma family to generalized Mittag-Leffler family to Lévy distributions are examined here. It is known that one can likel...

Destroying Civilization, Destroying Nature

Revision of Iranian pharmacy education, an idea or a necessity?

Human resources development in society or organization is a necessity to secure progress. Without such development societies or organizations fail to achieve their objectives. Human resources development is a three-stage measure to meet the requirements of each society or organization. These three stages are: a) planning and programming: at this stage qualitative and quantitative needs are dete...

Germinal matrix haemorrhage: destroying the brain's building blocks.

Inhibition of Fas-mediated apoptosis through administration of soluble Fas receptor improves functional outcome and reduces posttraumatic axonal degeneration after acute spinal cord injury. ProNGF induces p75-mediated death of oligodendrocytes following spinal cord injury. and delayed degeneration after spinal cord injury in rats and monkeys. Neutralization of CD95 ligand promotes regeneration ...
