BACKGROUND This pilot study was used to evaluate safety and subjective outcomes in a small series of Peyronie's disease patients using a combination of autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and penile shock wave treatments. SVF can be procured and deployed into Peyronie's plaques, enabling the surgeons to procure and mobilize significant numbers of both adult mesenchymal stem cells and ant...

Using Avena sativa L. cv. Victory oat seedlings and excised p-1 stem segments (including the p-1 and p-2 internodes) the effect of exogenously supplied ethylene and the removal of ethylene on internodal extension and gravitropic bending was assessed. Similarly, the ability of the excised system to respond to gravistimulation was assessed in the presence of inhibitors of ethylene action (AgNO3)...

Given a compact four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold (M, g) with smooth boundary, we consider the evolution equation by Q-curvature in the interior keeping the T -curvature and the mean curvature to be zero and the evolution equation by T -curvature at the boundary with the condition that the Q-curvature and the mean curvature vanish. Using integral method, we prove global existence and ...

Abstract The in situ and real-time measurement of curvature changes optically reflecting surfaces is a key element to better control bottom-up fabrication processes the semiconductor industry, but also follow or adjust mirror deformations during use for space optics industries. Despite progresses made last two decades thanks laser deflectometry-based techniques, community lacks an instrument, e...
