objective(s):osteoarthritis (oa) is globally one of the most common diseases from the middle age onwards. cartilage is an avascular tissue therefore it cannot be repaired in the body. conservative treatments have failed as a good remedy and cell therapy as a decisive cure is needed. one of the best and easily accessible cell sources for this purpose is adipose-derived stem cells which can be di...

Content Analysis of the High School Textbooks in Iran from Information Literacy Perspective E. Ebraahimi Dorcheh M. Cheshmeh Sohraabi, Ph.D. M. R. Neyestaani, Ph.D. To determine the extent to which information literacy is utilized within the 10th grade textbooks across different disciplines, a sample of 19 textbooks from among 96 high school textbooks was selected. The instr...

Four experiments were designed to investigate whether the frequency of words used to create pseudowords plays an important role in lexical decision. Computational models of the lexical decision task (e.g., the dual route cascaded model and the multiple read-out model) predict that latencies to low-frequency pseudowords should be faster than latencies to high-frequency pseudowords. Consistent wi...

Examination of numerous past results, such as word frequency effects, suggests that there might be an influence of stimulus familiarity on the ability to form associations with that stimulus. Specifically, that familiarity facilitates association formation. However, to date there has been no direct experimental evidence of this effect. To demonstrate familiarity facilitation, as well as to exam...

Iliria International Review – 2013/1 © Felix–Verlag, Holzkirchen, Germany and Iliria College, Pristina, Kosovo Abstract Recently several studies have shown that word frequency estimation based on subtitle files explains better the variance in word recognition performance than traditional words frequency estimates did. The present study aims to show this frequency estimate in Albanian from more ...

Previous research has identified robust effects on segmental production of lexical factors like word frequency, predictability or neighborhood density. One question that remains unanswered is whether such lexical effects hold also at the suprasegmental level. This study investigates whether lexical factors such as usage frequency affect tone production in Cantonese. We recorded Cantonese monosy...

Immediate memory span and maximal articulation rate were assessed for word sets differing in frequency, word-neighborhood size, and average word-neighborhood frequency. Memory span was greater for high- than low-frequency words, greater for words from large than small phonological neighborhoods, and greater for words from high- than low-frequency phonological neighborhoods. Maximal articulation...

Dual-process models of the word-frequency mirror effect posit that low-frequency words are recollected more often than high-frequency words, producing the hit rate differences in the word-frequency effect, whereas high-frequency words are more familiar, producing the false-alarm-rate differences. In this pair of experiments, the authors demonstrate that the analysis of receiver operating charac...
