objective: this study is an attempt to examine the anti apoptotic effects of bio on rat msc culture. materials and methods: rat marrow primary cell culture was established and exposure groups were defined; cultures with 0.01, 0.1, 1 μm bio. cells cultured without bio treatment were used as controls. during culture expantion, the average doubling time, as an index of the rate of cell growth, wer...

BACKGROUND To identify and analyze factors that influence the grading and zoning management model of emergency triage as a first step in the improvement of the system. METHODS Questionnaires were used to extract data from clinical histories of 286 patients who attended the Emergency Department of Binzhou Central Hospital (Binzhou City, Shandong Province, China) from September to November of 2...

In character recognition, zoning based feature extraction is one of the most popular methods. The character image is divided into predefined number of zones and a feature is computed from each of these zones. Usually, this feature is based on the pattern (black) pixels contained in that zone. Some of such features are average pixel density, sum squared distance, histogram. But in such features,...

BACKGROUND Zoning is a fundamental tool for the effective management of nature reserves. A three-zone model (core zone, buffer zone, and experimental zone) has been applied to nature reserves in China since 1980s; however, this model appears not fit for all types of nature reserves, especially wetlands. CASE DESCRIPTION Wuliangsuhai is such a typical wetland reserve, which can represent most ...

Mashhad Metamorphic Complex (MMC) with metamorphic, granitic intrusions and ophiolite units is situated in the suture zone of Paleotethys in NE Iran. Triassic staurolite-garnet schist of Khalaj represents the highest grade of metamorphism in MMC. In this study EPMA analyses of garnet and biotite used to determine the maximum temperature for regional metamorphism. The pattern of zoning in garnet...

Cultivation of Coffea arabica is highly sensitive to and has been shown to be negatively impacted by progressive climatic changes. Previous research contributed little to support forward-looking adaptation. Agro-ecological zoning is a common tool to identify homologous environments and prioritize research. We demonstrate here a pragmatic approach to describe spatial changes in agro-climatic zon...

wildfire in forests and rangelands, apart from its initiating causes, is considered as an ecological disaster. zoning natural areas according to their susceptibility to fire helps to put off operations and reduces catastrophic losses caused through a wise management plan. in this study, the zoning map of wildfire risk in forest and rangeland areas has been produced using gis, analytical hierarc...

introduction: bone regeneration grafts (brg) are widely used in the treatment of osseous defects and oral surgery. the various techniques and associated success rates of bone augmentation require evaluation by systematic review and meta-analysis of eligible studies. the aim of this systematic review was to compare alveolar bone regeneration in humans using bio-oss and autogenous bone graft. mat...
