Osteon circularity and longitudinal morphology: Quantitative and qualitative three-dimensional perspectives on human Haversian systems

The utility of osteon shape and circularity for differentiating human and non-human Haversian bone.

Distinguishing human from non-human bone fragments is usually accomplished by observation of gross morphology. When macroscopic analysis is insufficient, histological approaches can be applied. Microscopic features, like plexiform bone or osteon banding, are characteristic of non-humans. In the absence of such features, distinguishing Haversian bone as either human or non-human proves problemat...

Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives on Gender in Humanitarian Logistics

on semihypergroups and hypergroups

in this thesis, first the notion of weak mutual associativity (w.m.a.) and the necessary and sufficient condition for a $(l,gamma)$-associated hypersemigroup $(h, ast)$ derived from some family of $lesssim$-preordered semigroups to be a hypergroup, are given. second, by proving the fact that the concrete categories, semihypergroups and hypergroups have not free objects we will introduce t...

Dimensional Reasoning with Qualitative and Quantitative Distances

We outline a model of dimensional reasoning on time and space scales which integrates quantitative and qualitative knowledge about distances. At the core of this model lie constraints on interval boundaries, partial ordering and subsumption relations on interval relations and interval boundary constraints, as well as the transformation of interval relations to interval boundary constraints and ...

Evaluation of the Effect of Calcium Silicate Phosphate, Osteon, and Bio-Oss on Cell Viability and Cell Morphology of Human SaOS-2

Background and Aim: Several reports have been published on the successful application of various bone substitute materials (BSM). Appropriate physiologic and histologic characteristics and reactions of these materials against host cells are critically important. In this study, the biocompatibility of a new bone substitute material has been evaluated. Methods and Materials: In this experime...
