background: the hepatic secretion of apolipoprotein b (apob), containing lipoproteins, is known to be regulated by insulin, and the overproduction of these atherogenic lipoproteins occurs in insulin-resistant states. protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b (ptp-1b) is a key regulator of hepatic insulin signaling and is also upregulated in insulin resistance. we aimed to investigate the role of ptp-1b i...

no doubt that the simultaneous interpretation is one of the most difficult types of translation. this type of translation, which is sometimes called oral translation, has many challenges that are familiar to and tangible for the translators. these challenges can be examined in two grounds; first, the content and mechanism of translation, and second, the translator himself. although translators ...

background: excessive lumbar vertebrae translation and rotation in sagittal plane has been attributed as an associated factor of lumbar segmental instability (lsi) and low back pain (lbp). reduction of these abnormalities improves back pain. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of core stability exercise on the translation and rotation of lumbar vertebrae in sagittal plane in pat...

Test scores are often employed to control for unobserved heterogeneity. Using a simple model in which the test score is the product of abilities and short-run efforts we show that test scores obtained under different payoffs do not reflect the same composition of abilities and therefore should not serve as controllers for unobserved skills. Using the Current Population Survey (March supplements...

Modeling the Signaling Value of the GED with an Application to an Exogenous Passing Standard Increase in Texas In this paper we develop a simple model of the signaling value of the GED credential. The model illustrates necessary assumptions for a difference-in-difference estimator, which uses a change in the GED passing standard, to yield unbiased estimates of the signaling value of the GED for...

Literature data on the properties of zidovudine relevant to waiver of in vivo bioequivalence (BE) testing requirements for the approval of immediate-release (IR) solid oral dosage forms containing zidovudine alone or in combination with other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are reviewed. Solubility, dissolution, and permeability data for zidovudine, along with its dosing schedule, ther...

The present article reports a study carried out to investigate whether or not awareness of functional translation theories has any impact on the translation quality of translator trainees. 2oo Iranian undergraduate students took part in this study. They were divided into four groups -two- experimental and two control groups. After homogenizing the participants by a TOEFL test, a translation pre...
