Exploring the many approaches and issues involved in developing technologies for wellbeing---from including environmental concerns to building long-lasting, transdisciplinary partnerships both inside beyond academy.

INTRODUCTION During cell division, the mitotic spindle captures chromosomes and segregates them into two equal sets. The orientation and position of the mitotic spindle is important because the spindle equator becomes the plane of cell division. For instance, in a columnar cell with apical and basal polarity, if the spindle pole-to-pole axis orients along the cell’s long axis, the cell will div...

background & aim: healthcare areas, especially fertility care (commonly accompanied with high emotions, as well as long-term and recurring treatment periods) could exclusively benefit from patient-centered care (pcc). despite evident advantages of pcc, this approach has not been practiced as a routine procedure in current clinical environments yet, even in western developed countries. therefore...

the degree set of a graph is the set of its degrees. kapoor et al. [degree sets for graphs, fund. math. 95 (1977) 189-194] proved that for every set of positive integers, there exists a graph of diameter at most two and radius one with that degree set. furthermore, the minimum order of such a graph is determined. a graph is 2-self- centered if its radius and diameter are two. in this paper for ...

The mechanisms of development, growth and rupture of cerebral aneurysms are still incompletely understood. However, blood flow is believed to have a major impact. Some aneurysms develop smaller aneurysms, so-­‐called daughter aneurysms -­‐ see figure. In this study the influence of these daughter aneurysms was investigated. The blood flow with and without these daughter aneurysms was simulated ...

Description of the device and methodology The Advanced Bifurcation Systems (ABS Los Angeles, CA, USA) line of modular bifurcation systems is a novel stent platform designed to uniformly mould all coronary bifurcations regardless of angles and sizes in a simple, intuitive procedure. Orientation and alignment of main branch (mother) and side branch (daughter) segments is automatic with complete t...

background and purpose: various approaches to learning are suggested & practiced. the traditional medical education were more teacher centered oriented . in this method the students’ involvement in the process of learning is not remarkable, but the new approach to medical education supports the students involvement. this study evaluated the various method of lecturing considering students invol...
