First, some basic notions of transparent intensional logic (TIL) are introduced. Secondly, it is studied how natural-language interrogatives are analyzed in TIL.

Simulated test of effectiveness of the original tool grasping tie, technically already illustrated in two previous papers listed in bibliography, for fixing a spongy rubber tube, simulating a rectal stump on the anvil's axle of a circular stapler, by tightening over it a nylon ribbon slip-knot (the tie). After connecting the anvil to the stapler head through an other spongy rubber tube simulati...

BACKGROUND Many studies were carried out to improve sophisticated dressings to accelerate healing processes and reduce the microbial burden in burn wounds. This study evaluated the healing effect of herbal ointment containing extract of sesame oil, camphor and honey on second degree burn wounds in rats in comparison with daily dressing oil vaseline.  METHODS Forty rats were randomly ass...

Steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns, which are classified as composite columns, became the most widely used in recent years; because of their extensive advantages over the reinforced concrete and the steel columns. In this paper, the ductility index and its influential factors were explored to investigate the behavior of SRC columns. A straightforward approach was then proposed by establish...

abstractthis study focused mainly on the shifts of the grammatical cohesion in texts translated from english into persian. it aimed to identify the grammatical cohesive devices (gcds) in st and tt separately, based on halliday and hassn's model (1976), determine the number of occurrences of gcds in two texts and finally, illustrate types of shifts of grammatical cohesion and strategies used in ...

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy of a plant-derived wound dressing (1 Primary Wound Dressing®), a mixture of hypericum and neem oil, in different types of paediatric burns. METHOD A retrospective review was conducted over the complete healing course of 9 paediatric patients with a mean age of 8.17±3.35 (1-11 years), presenting mixed, partial or full-thickness burns. The treatment applied by ...

TIE is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in both mature endothelial cells and their precursors, as well as in some hematopoietic cells. Mouse embryos homozygous for a disrupted Tie allele die at midgestation due to impaired endothelial cell integrity and resulting hemorrhage. Here we have performed chimeric analysis to study further the function of the murine TIE in the development of embryo...
