Proximal and semi-proximal spaces are defined with the help of a game played on uniform spaces. Proximal spaces are where the entourage-picker has a winning strategy, and semi-proximal spaces are where the opponent, the point-picker, does not have a winning strategy. The class of proximal spaces is closed under Σ-products and closed subspaces. In this paper it is shown that product of two semi-...

in today’s advanced world resulting from the improvement of technology, societies tend to encounter a large number of problems and accidents. as we know, university’s security personnel are classified as shift workers and are exposed to health disturbing factors. the aim of this study was investigation of shift work disorders among security personnel of the hospitals affiliated to shiraz univer...

Background and Objectives: Shift working has the potential to negatively influence the quality of work life among nurses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the outbreak of shift work-related disorders and the relationship between shift work and job satisfaction in nurses of Ilam University’s subsidiary hospitals, in order to identify potential strategies for decreasing risk of health...

Despite the established interindividual variability and ontogeny of the CYP3A enzymes, the most abundant phase I drug-metabolizing enzymes in human liver and intestine, the mechanisms that regulate basal expression remain poorly understood. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using nuclear proteins extracted from human prenatal and postnatal liver samples identified multiple, developmentally ...

The expression of the catalytic subunit (hTERT) represents the limiting factor for telomerase activity. Previously, we detected a transcriptional repressor effect of the proximal exonic region (first two exons) of the hTERT gene. To better understand the mechanism involved and to identify a potential repressor, we further characterized this region. The addition of the hTERT proximal exonic regi...

The present study examined site-specific hamstring muscles use with functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in elite soccer players during strength training. Thirty-six players were randomized into four groups, each performing either Nordic hamstring, flywheel leg-curl, Russian belt or the hip-extension conic-pulley exercise. The transverse relaxation time (T2) shift from pre- to post-MRI w...
