The importance of social learning for student teachers’ professional development has gained acknowledgement. One way in which teacher training institutes incorporate their curricula is by involving students groups (TLGs). Participation TLGs not only enables to develop skills, but also prevents them from feeling isolated and losing motivation studies. present study uses convergent parallel mixed...

2. CAPACITIVE SOLUTIONS This paper reviews differential implementations of threshold logic gates, detailing two classes of solutions: capacitive (switched capacitor and floating gate), and conductance/current. The concept underlying capacitive TLGs is the use of an array of capacitors to implement the weighted sum of inputs. The idea was introduced as early as 1966 [6]. Capacitive TLGs can be c...

Hibernating 13-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus; TLGS) rank among the most brain hypoperfusion-tolerant mammals known. Herein we provide some evidence of cycling between an epithelial phenotype and a hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal (E/M) phenotype (partial EMT) within the brains of TLGS during each bout of hibernation torpor. During hibernation torpor, expression of the epitheli...

Introduction Student teachers (henceforth: students) in higher education often experience feelings of emotional loneliness that negatively impact upon their well-being and motivation to learn. Consequently, the importance social learning for students has gained increased prominence, with Teacher Learning Groups (TLGs), is, configurations which students, in-service teachers, teacher educators, s...

This study presents design principles for student facilitation in teacher learning groups (TLGs), based on a systematic literature review searching characteristics, conditions, and outcomes of students working TLGs. Notions team learning, network community collective within education were taken as the main components search. The turned out to be very lean terms input; only 17 articles did justi...

The approach is based on a design of threshold logic gates (TLGs) and their seamless integration with conventional standard-cell design flow. We first describe a new robust, standard-cell library of configurable circuits for implementing threshold functions. Abstractly, the threshold gate behaves as a multi-input, single output, edge-triggered flip-flop, which computes a threshold function of t...

BACKGROUND Cardiometabolic risk factors comprise cardiovascular diseases and/or diabetes, and need to be evaluated in different fields. OBJECTIVE The primary aim of the Tehran Cardiometabolic Genetic Study (TCGS) is to create a comprehensive genome-wide database of at least 16,000 Tehranians, who are participants of the ongoing Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) cohort. METHODS TCGS was ...

BACKGROUND Refined grains and white rice have been associated with elevated risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we sought to quantify the effect of white rice intake on incident T2DM in two prospective population-based cohort studies from Iran, where white rice is one of the main staple. METHODS We used follow-up data from 9,182 participants from Golestan Cohort Study (GCS...

BACKGROUND There is no clear and contemporaneous method for screening of idiopathic hirsutism (IH) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at the community level and current estimates regarding their prevalence are limited. We aimed to ascertain the prevalence of IH and PCOS in a randomly selected sample of reproductive aged female participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). METHO...
