Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate how the degree overpricing (DOP) and other variables are associated with time on market (TOM) final selling price (SP) for residential properties in Paphos urban area. Design/methodology/approach hedonic pricing model was used examine association TOM SP various factors. independent variable DOP two dependent were investigated via ordinary leas...

Bacterial alkaline phosphatases (APases) are important enzymes in organophosphate utilization in the ocean. The subcellular localization of APases has significant ecological implications for marine biota but is largely unknown. The extensive metagenomic sequence databases from the Global Ocean Sampling Expedition provide an opportunity to address this question. A bioinformatics pipeline was dev...

We investigate generalizations of the allsubtrees "DOP" approach to unsupervised parsing. Unsupervised DOP models assign all possible binary trees to a set of sentences and next use (a large random subset of) all subtrees from these binary trees to compute the most probable parse trees. We will test both a relative frequency estimator for unsupervised DOP and a maximum likelihood estimator whic...

Empirical evidence indicates that the distribution of the effects of mutations on quantitative traits is not symmetric about zero. Under stabilizing selection in infinite populations with normally distributed mutant effects having a nonzero mean, Waxman and Peck showed that the deviation of the population mean from the optimum is expected to be small. We show by simulation that genetic drift, l...

a novel, simple, sensitive and effective method has been developed for preconcentration of hg(ii) on nano-fe3o4-dop-ed solid-phase extraction adsorbent. in this paper, dioctyl phthalate (dop) was used to encapsulate nano-fe3o4 and produce a nano-fe3o4-dop sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. this was treated with ethylenediamine (ed) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a n...

A litter of pups: The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of new Pup-based fluorogenic substrates for Dop, the mycobacterial depupylase, are described. A full-length Pup-amidomethylcoumarin conjugate as well as an amino-terminus-truncated analogue exhibited high sensitivity and specificity towards hydrolysis by Dop. The substrates developed here might find application as high-throughput screening...

Historically Ruta graveolens L. has been used in many countries, including Brazil, as an abortifacient. Scientists wanted to determine its effect on pregnancy. The active ingredient in Ruta graveolens was given to mice between the first and third day of pregnancy (DOP), between the fourth and sixth DOP or between the seventh and ninth DOP. The extract did not cause preimplantation embryonic los...

Current airway dust ®lter technology emanates from the USA mining industry during the 1930s. It was further developed and improved by the USA military during World War II to prevent workers from inhaling very ®ne radioactive particles in the nuclear industry. These later ®lters we now recognize as high ef®ciency particulate air ®lters (HEPA). The ef®ciency of ®lters varies according to the numb...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that delta-opioid (DOP) receptor agonists may be neuroprotective in the central nervous system. However, the DOP agonist [d-Ala(2), d-Leu(5)]enkephalin (DADLE) does not produce neuroprotection in severe forebrain ischaemia. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of DADLE on hippocampal neurone survival against less severe forebrain ischaemia. METHODS ...

weather and climate parameters and their effects on crops, is one of the most effective factors in yield increase. agro-climatic studies could be used to determine the potential of various regions and the exploit these resources to the maximum possible extent. in this study, in order to evaluate the agricultural climate of spring canola cultivation in selected stations in hamedan province, the ...
