We describe our experience creating a robots community using standard hardware and software – the Windows CE operating system, XScale development boards, and LEGO Mindstorm actuators. We focus on an open and extendable distributed robotics system, which in contrast to most existing proprietary robotics systems, supports cost-effective integration and assembly of components while providing depen...

• identify some of the research that supports the immediate loading concept. Abstract: The ability to predictably achieve long-term osseointegration in patients with compromised anatomical resources has been demonstrated numerous times in modern oral implantology. Recently, clinical attention has focused on new methods of reducing treatment time. One-stage surgical procedures and immediate load...

Y2Ce2O7 nano powders were synthesized via sol-gel reactions at 900 (S1), 1000 (S2) and 1100 (S3) ˚C for 4 h using yttrium acetate (C6H9O6Y.xH2O), ammonium cerium nitrate ((NH4)2Ce(NO3)6) and stearic acid (C18H36O2</s...

thirty seven randomly selected patients suffering from multiple s c l e r os i s (ms) (17 males and 20 females)and 30 healthy control subjects were studied for the lymphocyte subpopulations and ce l l -medi a t e d immunity.we obs e r ved a decrease of the total t-cells and an increase of a ctive t-lymphocytes and b ce l l s , in ms p at i ent s as compared t o normal controls. the inability of...

background: antigen b (agb) is frequently used for immuno-diagnosis of hu-man cystic echinococcosis (ce). echinococcus granulosus agbs show a high degree of genetic variability in different hosts or in different ce endemic areas. the present study aimed to evaluate the genetic polymorphisms of encoding antigen b2 gene (agb2) among different iranian isolates of e. granulosus. methods: a total of...

This paper presents our Intelligent Environment called SmartOOce. In the SmartOOce the user can work as in a normal of-ce. The ooce's intelligence observes the user in order to anticipate his intentions and augments his environment to communicate useful information. Computers are involved in user activities in order to help in everyday tasks. The system interacts with users using voice, gesture...

     Colocasia esculenta Linn (CE) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. Hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of CE leaves (AECE) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins...
