Abstract The paper seeks to explore the motif of blood, as it appears in various forms all civilizational and cultural areas. Based on genre- culturally diverse texts from material sample, authors will present basic plot-motif stable blood ancient culture-forming narratives outline their archetypal significance.

Driven by the increasing economic burden associated with bone injury and disease, biomaterial development for bone repair represents the most active research area in the field of tissue engineering. This article provides an update on recent advances in the development of bioactive biomaterials for bone regeneration. Special attention is paid to the recent developments of sintered Na-containing ...

where K is a random variable from 0 to N , and k is a particular value of K. Variance is defined as a measure of statistical dispersion [2], essentially measuring how far out from the mean observed results go. It is given by σ = E[(k − μ)] = E[k]− μ (2) For any known distribution, the generating function is G(s) = E[S ] (3) whereG is the function and s is a variable. Therefore, S {S, S, S, ...,...

Bioactive glasses are known to stimulate bone healing, and the incorporation of strontium has the potential to increase their potency. In this study, calcium oxide in the 45S5 bioactive glass composition was partially (50%, Sr50) or fully (100%, Sr100) substituted with strontium oxide on a molar basis. The effects of the substitution on bioactive glass properties were studied, including density...
