The present article is a corpus-based descriptive/comparative study of lexical bundles (LBs) in two university genres: textbooks (TBs) and research articles (RAs) on applied linguistics. It aims to identify the LBs used genres, compare them basis their functional type frequency explore how they are related genre. To this end, four-word were identified corpora drawn from linguistics TBs RAs. com...

The grain boundaries (GBs) in the absorber of a Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGS) solar cell play vital role its efficiency and cells with polycrystalline absorbers exhibit high conversion (>23%). Previous investigations confirm that traits GBs CIGS are directly connected to their composition. However, such relationship cannot be established for twin (TBs). This is because although electron beam-induced ...

Bovine theileriosis is an important tick-borne disease caused by intraerythrocytic parasites from genus Theileria. This study sought to detect the theileriosis among cattle and buffaloes using molecular and microscopic tests in West Azerbaijan, Iran. For this purpose, 484 blood samples from 193 cattle and 291 buffaloes were collected during March to July 2014. The breed, gender, age, and habita...

BACKGROUND Early invasive electrical stimulation studies suggested that enhancement of cerebellar vermal activity might prove valuable in symptomatic treatment of refractory neuropsychiatric diseases via modulation of emotion and affect. This proof of principle study aimed to test this hypothesis using noninvasive brain stimulation, and to explore the safety of this protocol in schizophrenia. ...

In colorectal carcinoma, poorly differentiated clusters (PDCs) are a poor prognostic indicator and show morphological continuity and behavioral similarities to micropapillary patterns (MPPs) as well as tumor buds (TBs). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and inhibition of cancer-stromal interactions may contribute to the development of PDCs. To clarify the biological nature of PDCs, we exa...

Most candidate genes and genetic abnormalities linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are thought to play a role in developmental and experience-dependent plasticity. As a possible index of plasticity, we assessed the modulation of motor corticospinal excitability in individuals with Asperger's syndrome (AS) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We measured the modulatory effects of...

[1] The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) version-6 rainfall products show the reduced bias between Precipitation Radar (PR) and TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) rainfall estimates during the 1997/1998 El Niño event noted in version 5, but need to be verified. We investigate consistency between TMI-observed brightness temperatures (TBs) at 10 and 19 GHz channels and those simulated from the...

Proses pengangkatan tandan buah segar kelapa sawit ke truk secara umum masih dilakukan manual, dengan beban kerja berat dan berpotensi cedera. Adapun peralatan pengangkat yang sudah ada bertenaga motor bakar biaya tinggi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah merancang menguji alat dalam bak memanfaatkan bobot truk. Bobot pada roda belakang ketika mundur dimanfaatkan untuk menekan sepasang silinder...

Sir, There has been a growing interest in the role of the cerebellum in primary dystonia. Although this role is not yet fully understood (Sadnicka et al., 2012), an elegant paper by Hubsch et al. (2013) in Brain showed that in writer’s cramp, a form of task-specific primary hand dystonia, the cerebellum has lost its ability to modulate sensorimotor plasticity of the motor cortex. As part of the...

Spaced patterns of repetitive synaptic activation often result in a long-lasting, protein synthesis-dependent potentiation of synaptic transmission, known as late-phase long-term potentiation (L-LTP) that may serve as a substrate for long-term memory. Behavioral studies showed that posttraining blockade of NMDA subtype of the glutamate receptor (NMDAR) impaired long-term memory, although NMDAR ...
