Engineering optimization needs easy-to-use and efficient optimization tools that can be employed for practical purposes. In this context, stochastic search techniques have good reputation and wide acceptability as being powerful tools for solving complex engineering optimization problems. However, increased complexity of some metaheuristic algorithms sometimes makes it difficult for engineers t...

Suitable alternatives are made for damaged or diseased organs and tissues in tissue engineering by combining cellular and molecular biology with materials and mechanical engineering. Fibrin is a critical blood component responsible for homeostasis, used extensively as a biopolymer scaffold in tissue engineering. This study summarizes the latest developments in organ and tissue regeneration usin...

scaffold design has pivotal role in tissue engineering. in the present study, we modified the surface of electrospun poly(caprolactone) (pcl) nanofibers to improve their compatibility with living medium and to show the potential application of pcl nanofibers as a artificial extracellular matrix using in tissue-engineering. pcl nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning method. to graft gelat...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is a common reason of brain tissue loss as a result of tumors, accidents, and surgeries. renewal of the brain parenchyma is restricted by many reasons such as inimical substances produced as the result of trauma and also inflammatory responses. a strong cascade of inflammatory responses begins as a result of tbi which include recalling peripheral leukocytes into the...

analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. in this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. this paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. the f...

movement of sediment in the river causes many changes in the river bed. these changes are called bedform. river bedform has significant and direct effects on bed roughness, flow resistance, and water surface profile. thus, having adequate knowledge of the bedform is of special importance in river engineering. several methods have been developed by researchers for estimation of bed form dimensio...

human adipose tissue represents an abundant, practical and appealing source of donor tissue for autologous cell replacement. recent findings have shown that stem cells within the stromalvascular fraction of adipose tissue display a multilineage developmental potential. adipose tissue-derived stem cells can be differentiated towards adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic,myogenic and neurogenic li...
