Harry K. Wexler: When I started out, there was very little treatment for offenders. Pris­ ons were seen as warehouses, and “noth­ ing works” was the prevailing belief. Then research started to demonstrate reductions in recidivism with therapeutic communities (TCs). Policymakers and legislators became very interested. TC became the dominant model throughout prisons. It is still promi­ nent throu...

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that decrease crop production. Transcription factors (TFs) are prominent regulators in plant responses to abiotic stress. In the present study, the expression pattern of four salt-induced genes encoding transcription factors, namely, MYB, RF2, GTF, and ARID was studied in response to salt stress (sodium chloride) and recovery conditions. Th...

two organochlorine, one organophosphate, two carbamate and two pyrethroid insecticides have been studied for their comparative study against fieldcollected an.pulcherrimus. the trail was conducted in ghasreghand district, sistan and baluchistan province, southeastern iran using who impregnated papers at the diagnostic dose. results revealed that this species exhibit resistant to 0.4% dieldrin (...

Highly textured undoped (pure) and Al doped ZnO nanocrystalline thin films prepared by ultrasonic atomization and pyrolysis method are reported in this paper. ZnCl2 water solution was converted into fine mist by ultrasonic atomizer (Gapusol 9001 RBI Meylan, France). The mist was pyrolyzed on the glass substrates in horizontal quartz reactor placed in furnace. The Structural and microstructural ...

With respect to disasters, earthquake is one of the leading causes of death. Its aftermath can be abated if proper actions take place before the onset of the earthquake. Various sectors in a country are responsible for managing disasters, but the lack of knowledge about the positive effects of their actions makes them reluctant to act decisively. Retrofitting buildings and structures, positioni...

statement of problem: biomechanics of the human dentition is inherently complex. purpose: the aim of this study is to investigate, in vitro, the creep and the recovery of dentin under static uniaxial compressive stress conditions. materials and methods: specimens of cylindrical morphology were prepared from recently extracted non-carious lower molar teeth, such that the average tubule orientati...

thin films of sno2 nanowires were successfully prepared by using chemical vapor deposition (cvd) process on quartz substrates. afterwards, a thin  layer of palladium (pd) as a catalyst was coated on top of nanowires. for the deposition of pd, a simple and low cost technique of spray pyrolysis was employed, which caused an intensive enhancement on the sensing response of fabricated sensors. prep...
