We investigated in laboratory column experiments, the aqueous-phase transport of four n-alcohols (n-hexanol-nnonanol), three chlorinated aromatic compounds (chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, and o-chlorophenol), and two alkylbenzenes (ethylbenzene and p-xylene) in a waterunsaturated porous medium (sand). The influence of gasphase partitioning and interfacial adsorption on solute retardation dur...

The factor structure of the Negative Symptom Assessment (NSA), a standardized negative symptoms rating scale, was systematically evaluated in a group of 223 inpatients with schizophrenia. Confirmatory factor analyses found that a six-factor model best described the NSA. More specifically, the domains of Communication, Emotion/Affect, Social Involvement, Motivation, Gross Cognition, and Retardat...

The behaviour of E.coli are expressed in several conditions, the kinetics of E.coli are expressed by the formation characteristics in the study location, the rate of retardation are not left behind, it is express in the system, because it has a reflection on the formation variation in the study area.. Retardation factor are considered because of it influences from formation characteristic in th...

In the present study, analytical solutions are obtained for two-dimensional advection dispersion equation for conservative solute transport in a semi-infinite heterogeneous porous medium with pulse type input point source of uniform nature. The change in dispersion parameter due to heterogeneity is considered as linear multiple of spatially dependent function and seepage velocity whereas seepag...

Experimental elevation of maternal testosterone (T) from 30 to 90 days of gestation leads to intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and increased prepubertal growth rate in female lambs. This study tested the hypothesis that prenatal T treatment during mid-gestation alters the trajectory of the fetal insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) system to p...

For instance, Willis [11] was struck by the common feature of normal glomeruli standing out unscathed among parenchymatous metastases in the kidney? Figure 1 of my original paper. Let us go back to the 1842 original work of Bowman [12]. He argued thus: “Hence must arise a greater retardation of the blood in the (glomerular) tuft, then occurs probably in any other part of the vascular system; a ...

The LEOPARD syndrome is an exceptional autosomal dominant genetic disease with a missense mutation of the PTPN11 gene in more than 90% of the cases. The principal clinical manifestations include extensive lentiginosis, heart conduction abnormalities, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonary stenosis, genital anomalies, mental retardation, growth retardation and d...

Down syndrome, trisomy of chromosome 21, is well investigated because it is a genetic disease with characteristic mental retardation and precocious dementia of Alzheimer type. Maternal serum markers of human chorionic gonadotrophin unconjugated estriol and amyloid precursor protein, nuchal skinfold on ultrasound and new genetic probes are developed to allow better detection of Down syndrome. Th...

The norepinephrine transporter plays an important role in the pathophysiology and pharmacological treatment of major depressive disorder. Consequently, the norepinephrine transporter gene is an attractive candidate in major depressive disorder research. In the present study, we evaluated the depression symptoms of subjects with major depressive disorder, who were all from the North of China and...

background & objective : there are over 3 million mental retarded all over the world. so that promotion of oral and dental health of these patients is one of the major challenges in every society. this study was conducted to determine the periodontal treatment needs for these patients in tabriz institutes.   materials & methods : three hundred and eighty six mental retarded patients between 4 t...
