The present study investigated the effects of selected presentation techniques including the keyword method, the peg word method, the loci method, argument mapping, concept mapping and mind mapping on L2 vocabulary comprehension and production. To this end, a sample of 151 Iranian female students from a public pre-university school in Islam Shahr was selected. They were assigned to six groups. ...

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been studied as a drug-carrier for proteins, but not for small peptides. Laminin, a cell adhesive protein, has Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg (YIGSR) sequence and peptides containing this sequence inhibit experimental metastasis. We have studied PEG hybrids of YIGSR and other small laminin-related peptides. In a previous paper, we reported preparation of YIGSR-PEG hybrids b...

ogy as with DSPE–PEG 2000. Since the concentrations of PEG 5000 containing proteins could also be measured by Skoog’s method (13), we believe that this modified method would also work. In conclusion, a simple and direct colorimetric method, modified from Skoog’s PEG measurement method (13), for determining the amount of DSPE– PEG 2000 in buffer solutions containing blood or albumin was reported...

We evaluated six precipitation methods for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-chol) determination: the heparin/Mn2+ precipitation reagent method (Hep), two variants of the phosphotungstic acid/Mg2+ method (Tung-L and Tung-B), the dextran sulfate 50,000/Mg2+ method (Dex), the PEG 6000 method (PEG), and the PEG 6000/dextran sulfate 15,000 (PEG/Dex) method. The Tung-B and PEG/Dex precipitat...

This paper presents a referent-tracking and pronoun resolution system for Finnish, a free-word-order, articleless language that poses a challenge for algorithms designed for languages like English that have definite/indefinite articles. To track referents and interpret pronouns in Finnish, this algorithm uses the pragmatically-motivated word order tendencies of Finnish to create an ordered regi...

Attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules to nanoparticles (PEGylation) is a widely-used method to improve the stability, biocompatibility and half-life of nanomedicines. However, the evaluation of the PEGylated nanomedicine pharmacokinetics (PK) requires the decomposition of particles and purification of lead compounds before analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), m...

abstract the structural and electrostatic properties of the single-walled two representative (8, 0) zigzag and (4, 4) armchair models of pristine and gaas-doped on boron phosphide nanotubes (bpnts) was investigated by calculating the nuclear magnetic resonance tensors and with performing the density function theory. the geometrical structures of all representative pristine and gaas-doped models...
