landsat data for 1992, 2000, and 2013 land use changes for ekbatan dam watershed was simulated through ca-markov” model. two classification methods were initially used, viz. the maximum likelihood (mal) and support vector machine (svm). although both methods showed high overall accuracy and kappa coefficient, visually mal failed in separating land uses, particularly built up and dry lands.there...

This study demonstrates the effects of Quinton's isotonic and hypertonic solution on mononuclear cells of peripheral blood. This involved assessing cell viability, morphology, number and size of aggregated cells; possible effects on cellular proliferation; effects on cellular proliferation in different lymphocyte populations; effect on hemoglobin released into the medium.

Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are widely used cell source for clinical bone regeneration. Achieving the greatest therapeutic effect is dependent on the osteogenic differentiation potential of the stem cells to be implanted. However, there are still no practical methods to characterize such potential non-invasively or previously. Monitoring cellular morphology is a practical ...

The three-dimensional form of a coral reef develops through interactions and feedbacks between its constituent organisms and their environment. Reef morphology therefore contains a potential wealth of ecological information, accessible if the relationships between morphology and ecology can be decoded. Traditionally, reef morphology has been attributed to external controls such as substrate top...

Replicating the nanostructured components of extracellular matrix is a target for dermal tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Electrospinning Bombyx mori silk fibroin (BMSF) allows the production of nano- to microscale fibrous scaffolds. For BMSF electrospun scaffolds to be successful, understanding and optimizing the cellular response to material morphology is essential. Primary human...

Abstract Cellular structures are a favorite selection for the design of lightweight components and energy absorption applications due to several advantages such as their customizable stiffness strength. In this investigation, functionally graded (FG) triply periodic minimal surfaces, Schoen-IWP (SIWP), Schwarz primitive (SPrim) cellular were fabricated by masked stereolithography (MSLA) techniq...

PURPOSE To determine whether cultured fetal human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells can attach and differentiate on submacular Bruch's membrane from donors over age 55. METHODS Differential debridements of Bruch's membrane were performed to expose three different surfaces: the RPE basement membrane, the superficial inner collagenous layer (ICL) directly below the RPE basement membrane, a...
