Modification of Styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, synthesized in toluene using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator, through graft copolymerization of hydrophilic monomer, acrylic acid, (AAc), has been carried out in aqueous medium by chemical and gamma radiation methods. Optimum conditions pertaining to maximum percentage of grafting were evaluated as a function of different reaction paramete...

As various inertial measurement units (IMUs) from different manufacturers appear every year, it is not affordable to evaluate every IMU through tests. Therefore, this paper presents an IMU evaluation method by grafting data from the tested IMU to the reference data from a higher-grade IMU. The signal grafting (SG) method has several benefits: (a) only one set of field tests with a higher-grade ...

The rising age of the population in rural China and labor intensity grafting have resulted a decrease number grafters subsequent increase their wages. Manual can no longer satisfy increasing demand for watermelon-grafted transplanting; thus, machine will be an effective alternative. In order to accelerate implementation China, comparative analysis between automatic (model 2TJGQ-800) traditional...

Grafting-from ATRP protocols using fluoropolymers as substrates are very often used. Actual positive proof that is the mechanism at work in grafting or occurred all scarce. This perspective article gives an overview of most relevant examples such well possible other mechanisms grafting.

BACKGROUND Regenerative periodontal therapy aims to predictably restore the tooth's supporting periodontal tissues and should result in formation of a new connective tissue attachment (i.e. new cementum with inserting periodontal ligament fibres) and new alveolar bone. Histologic evidence from preclinical models has demonstrated periodontal regeneration following treatment with barrier membrane...

BACKGROUND Posterior pharyngeal augmentation is an accepted method of treating velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Techniques using autologous fat harvest, preparation, and grafting are well described. Based on the complications from retropharyngeal injection, we performed augmentation of the nasal surface of the palate to reduce hypernasality with decreased risks. METHODS After Institutional...
