The Matrix Model of Computation (MMC) is a new Turing-complete virtual machine that serves as a formal container for the structural representation and analysis of systems, and finds applications in diverse areas such as Business, Software Engineering and Theoretical Physics. The MMC is a unifying notion in Systemics. It allows uniform, interoperable techniques to be applied to systems in genera...

The antitumor antibiotic mitomycin C (MMC) was studied in vitro using L1210 leukemia and 8226 human myeloma cells. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by colony formation in soft agar, and DMA damage was analyzed using alkaline elution filter assays. The purposes of these studies were: (a) to characterize the time course of MMC-DNA damage; (b) to characterize the type of DNA damage [DNA-DNA interstrand ...

PURPOSE To determine the effects of mitomycin C (MMC) on the expression of chymase and mast cells in the conjunctival scar after trabeculectomy. METHODS Ten eyes of five monkeys were used. Three eyes underwent trabeculectomy with MMC (MMC-treated), four eyes had trabeculectomy without MMC (placebo-treated), and three eyes served as control eyes. Intraocular pressure was measured before and th...

BACKGROUND To find out about the prenatal diagnosis rate of myelomeningocele (MMC) by ultrasound scan in patients referred to the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Tehran, Iran from July 2004 to July 2005. METHODS We included 140 children born with MMC and who were referred for management, surgery and treatment of complications associated with it. The ultrasound reports were examined. Dat...

Mitomycin C (MMC) induced aerobic and hypoxic Cytotoxicity in Chinese hamster V79 cells was studied to evaluate the role of the 1electron versus 2-electron reductive bioactivation. Superoxide dismutase, catatase, and desierai had no protective effects on the aerobic or hypoxic Cytotoxicity of MMC, whereas Tempol and Tempol-H, which are known to interrupt and terminate radical reactions, provide...

The converter valve is the core equipment of DC distribution systems. This paper proposes an autonomous control strategy for grid-connected and islanded operation hybrid topology modular multilevel (MMC). overall structure designed, including outer loop inner current loop. Firstly, loop, it proposed to use equivalent capacitance storage energy MMC power module simulate inertia synchronous gener...

background: children with myelomeningocele (mmc) develop a wide variety of hip deformities such as muscle imbalance, contracture, subluxation, and dislocation. various methods and indications have been introduced for treatment of muscle imbalances and other hip problems in patients with mmc but there is no study or meta-analysis to compare the results and complications. this review aims to find...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the acute and long-term effects of mitomycin C (MMC) on quiescent rabbit corneal keratocytes regarding cell proliferation, myofibroblast differentiation and DNA repair. METHODS Quiescent keratocytes cultured in serum-free media were exposed to various concentrations of MMC and then treated with transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ). DNA damage ...

OBJECT Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most severe form of spina bifida causing severe neurological deficits. Injury to the placode has been attributed to in utero aggression. In this study, glial and neuronal cell changes in both number and topography in mice with MMC were investigated during gestation. METHODS The curly tail/loop-tail mice model of MMC was used, and fetuses were harvested usi...
