Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) transplantations require prior harvesting of allogeneic or autologous HSPCs. HSPCs are usually present in bone marrow (BM) during the entire life, in cord blood (CB) at birth, or in peripheral blood (PB) under particular circumstances. HSPCs were first harvested in BM and later in CB and PB, as studies showed interesting features of such grafts. All...

multistage and semi-mechanized harvesting of rice in khouzestan province, iran, causes much loss. depending on available facilities and conditions, either spike-tooth or rasp-bar cylinders are employed with either direct or indirect combine harvesting methods. the present research studied the effect of these different harvesting methods on the amount of losses in two rice varieties in 2001-2002...

Vibration energy harvesting is being pursued as a means to power wireless sensors and ultra-low power autonomous devices. From a design standpoint, matching the electrical damping induced by the energy harvesting mechanism to the mechanical damping in the system is necessary for maximum efficiency. In this work two independent energy harvesting techniques are coupled to provide higher electrica...

In sustainable wireless sensor networks powered by ambient energy harvesting, node operation highly depends on the energy availability and harvesting rate. For them to support existing wireless sensor network applications, duty-cycling schemes need to adapt the nodes’ sleep-wake schedules according to energy harvesting and consumption rates. In this paper, we propose a harvesting-aware duty-cyc...

agricultural products have a main role in nonoil exports. pistachio is one of the country's mostimportant export products. thus, this study is aimed at evaluating and identifying pistachiomarketing in rafsanjan which is carried out in 2011. this is applied study and its methodology iscorrelation. the statistical population was 120 agricultural extension experts of rafsanjantownship were studied...

Energy harvesting is the process of foraging electrical energy from energy sources available in the environment. This paper reviews energy harvesting technology using PZT as the specific piezoceramic material with its modules to determine the capacitance for optimal energy-storage in piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting (VEH) systems . It reviews various applications of piezoelectric energ...

rice is a main food for iranian people and has an important role in providing food security. regarding the population growth, increase of rice production and reduction of losses have special importance in prevention of rice import. rice losses in the harvest stage are the highest through the whole production period of this crop and hence the reduction of these losses is necessary. provision of ...
