This paper aimed to investigate the effect of tumstatin on hypertrophic scar in the rabbit model to explore a new treatment method for hypertrophic scar. An animal model of hypertrophic scar on the rabbit ears was established and was intervened with tumstatin via local injection. The rabbits were randomly assigned into tumstatin group, endostatin group, triamcinolone acetonide group and the sal...

Introduction An important recent trend in education has been towards the integration of different technologies, such as digital games (Chen, Chen & Liu, 2010; Chiang, Lin, Cheng & Liu, 2011; Lee & Chen, 2009; Lin & Liu, 2009; Liu & Lin, 2009) and educational robots (Chang, Lee, Chao, Wang & Chen, 2010a; Chang, Lee, Wang & Chen, 2010b; Wei, Hung, Lee & Chen, 2011), and the learning and teaching ...

INTRODUCTION Reliability or its square root, accuracy, is often reported by breeding organizations and required by Interbull along with estimated breeding values. In theory, reliability is calculated as a function of genetic variance and elements of the inverse of the coefficient matrix of the mixed model equations that are used to estimate breeding values. In practice, approximation methods ar...

By using the theory of exponential dichotomy and Banach fixed point theorem, this paper is concerned with the problem of the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic solution in a harvesting Lotka-Volterra recurrent neural networks on time scales. To a certain extent, our work in this paper corrects the defect in [Y.G. Liu, B.B. Liu, S.H. Ling, The almost periodic solution of Lotka-Volterra ...

The main purpose of the present paper is to derive the neighborhoods and partial sums of certain subclass of analytic functions which was introduced and investigated recently by Liu and Liu [Z.-W. Liu and M.-S. Liu, Properties and characteristics of certain subclasses of analytic functions, J. South China Normal Univ. Natur. Sci. Ed. 28 (2010), 11–15]. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 3...
