We present an adaptive mimetic finite difference method for the approximate solution of variational inequalities. The adaptive strategy is based on a heuristic hierarchical type error indicator. Numerical experiments that validate the performance of the adaptive MFD method are also presented. 1 The Obstacle Problem Throughout the paper we will use standard notations for Sobolev spaces, norms an...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare a new method for the production of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the plasma-rich-in-growth-factors kit (PRGF kit; G.A.C. Medicale San Antonio, Vitoria, Spain), with an established method, the Platelet Concentrate Collection System (PCCS; 3i/Implant Innovations, Palm Beach Gardens, FL) with respect to resulting cellular and growth factor contents.
