Novice academic writers, particularly Iranian graduate students (IGSs), upon entering an academic community, are hypothesized to face probable difficulties in practicing rhetorical expectations set by the experienced (EXP) members, hence, not being able to write in a way acceptable to these professionals. To explore the probable rhetorical distance between them, this study investigated the empl...

Alcohol ingestion has adverse effects on the central nervous system (CNS). The hippocampus is one of the target sites of ethanol neurotoxicity. We hypothesized that short-term ethanol exposure alters the expression of neurotrophins and their receptors, leading to functional disruption in the CNS. Male BALB/C mice were fed a liquid diet containing 5% (v/v) ethanol. Pair-fed control mice were mai...

" Wir mssen wissen, wir werden wissen " (We must know, we shall know) Pr[Y ≥ ∆] = Pr[exp(tY) ≥ exp(t∆)] ≤ E [exp(tY)] exp(t∆) , the first part follows by the fact that exp(·) preserve ordering, and the second part follows by the Markov inequality. Observe that E [exp(tX i)] = 1 2 e t + 1 2 e −t = e t + e −t 2 = 1 2 1 + t 1! + t 2 2! + t 3 3! + · · · + 1 2 1 − t 1! + t 2 2! − t 3 3! + · · · = 1 ...

This paper investigates the effect of the 2008 financial crisis on informational efficiency by carrying out a long-memory analysis of European corporate bond markets. We compute the Hurst exponent for fifteen sectorial indices to scrutinise the time-varying behaviour of long-range memory, applying a shuffling technique to avoid short-term correlation. We find that the financial crisis has uneve...

Abstract Two experiments were conducted to determine the impact of diets with yeast-based direct fed microbials (DFM) in nursery pigs weaned from sows lactation or without yeast additives. Treatment descriptions for both are reviewed Table 1. There was no evidence sow and treatment interactions either experiment (P > 0.05). In Exp. 1, 340 pigs, initially 5.1 kg ± 0.02, used evaluate prev...

This study was to examine the relationship between uteroferrin and Fe, and Fe and Cu in the fetal pig. In Exp. 1, conceptus tissues and fluids were obtained on d 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 of gestation for Fe and Cu analyses. In fetus minus liver, total Fe and Cu increased constantly between d 30 and 90, but Fe and Cu concentrations (microgram/g dry tissue) both decreased between d 30 and 45 and the...
