introduction: students are often similar in terms of learning ability and talent. however, there are remarkable differences in their academic performance during their schooling, which can be due to the differences in their academic motivation and achievement motivation. the current study was carried out to compare achievement motivation and academic achievement among the students of kermanshah ...

background: in process industries, production, storage, transportation, usage and disposal of chemicals are inherently dangerous and the risk of catastrophic accident occurrence is potentially high. to improve safety level in these industries, establishment of process safety management (psm) system is considered as the most effective measures. this study was conducted to determine the degree of...

Staphylococcus epidermidis releases factors that activate the HIV-1 long terminal repeat, induce cytokine release, and activate nuclear factor B in cells of macrophage lineage. The active material had a mass of 34,500 daltons, was inactivated by proteases and partitioned into the phenol layer on hot aqueous phenol extraction, and thus was termed phenol-soluble modulin (PSM). High performance li...

Abstract Process Safety Management (PSM) is a management system that is focused on prevention of, preparedness for, mitigation of, response to, and restoration from catastrophic releases of chemicals or energy from a process plant. Existing PSM such as OSHA/PSM guidelines just indicate the elements, but consistency between elements is not ensured and practical level of elements is different eac...

Other-regarding motivation is a fundamental determinant of public service provision. In health care, one example is physicians who act benevolently towards their patients when providing medical services. Such patient-regarding motivation seems closely associated with a personal sacrifice that health service providers are willing to make. Surprisingly, evidence on physicians' motivation is rare....

INTRODUCTION RP (radical prostatectomy) technique continues the major treatment option for men with potential cure and life expectancy exceeding 10 years. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of PSM on BR (biochemical relapse), to identify PSM risk factors, to clarify the factors involved in BR in the absence of PSM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Consultation of 171 medical-records from patien...

The miscibility behavior of palmitoyl sphingomyelin (PSM) with phytosterol derivatives of β-sitosterol (SITO), β-sitosteryl glucoside (SG), and β-sitosteryl glucoside palmitate (SGP) was systematically investigated using Langmuir monolayers. The surface pressure (π)-molecular area (A) and surface potential (ΔV)-A isotherms for binary PSM/SITO, PSM/SG, and PSM/SGP systems on 0.02 M Tris buffer w...
