This paper evaluates transformative policy innovations with respect to security and taxation in the three main Colombian cities: Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. In the first two, such policies were associated with huge success. Elsewhere we (Gutiérrez et al. 2009) have tagged these transformation processes as ‘urban/metropolitan miracles’. The term comes from the fact that both common citizens and ...

Most peroxisomal matrix proteins possess a carboxy-terminal tripeptide targeting signal, termed peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 (PTS1), and follow a relatively well-characterized pathway of import into the organelle. The peroxisomal targeting signal type 2 (PTS2) pathway of peroxisomal matrix protein import is less well understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of PTS2 prote...

The American Board of Pathology (ABP) has recently approved a physician-scientist research pathway (PSRP) for pathologists in training. This new pathway was specifically created to increase the recruitment of new physician-scientists to our specialty. Other specialties, such as internal medicine, pediatrics, radiology/radiation oncology, and dermatology, have formally Board approved research tr...

H(2)O(2) alters gene expression in many cell types. Alterations in nuclear import of transcription factors or similar key proteins may be responsible for these changes. To investigate this possibility, a cytosolic nuclear import cocktail was treated with varying ¿H(2)O(2) and used in import assays. H(2)O(2) caused a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of import at concentrations as low as 100 m...

This paper investigates the effect of exchange rate uncertainty on the Iran’s import trade. The exchange rate ‎uncertainty series were generated utilizing the TARCH model. This model analyzes the asymmetric effects. The analysis of uncertainty and asymmetry ‎of the exchange rate shows significant TARCH ‎effect on Iran’s exchange rates‎. The findings of the study indicate negative shocks (bad ne...

In this research, the DCC model is estimated to calculate dynamic correlation series between crude oil price and growth of Industry and Mine sector during 1367:1-1392:4. Then, Macroeconomic variables which can explain the dynamic correlation are analyzed as variables of contagion. So, the import, as an effective and affected variable from crude oil price, is separated to real import of consumpt...

A Patchouli is a perennial, erect, branched aromatic herb with fragrant leaves grown in tropical and subtropical regions warm humid climate condition. It cultivated mainly for its essential oil which extracted by steam distillation from the tender parts of dried stems using small amount oil. deep orange to amber colour has an exotic, heavy, earthy aroma. The aroma patchouli usually described as...
