The damage threshold of fused silica in vacuum and air before or after 355nm laser irradiation is measured. The structure and defects of fused silica has been studied by means of FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), Raman and Fluorescence spectroscopy. The primary defect species are oxygen vacancies (such as Si–Si bonds), non-bridging oxygen hole center (NBOHC), oxygen interstitials (peroxy radic...

Various types of stem cells have been shown to have beneficial effects on cardiac function. It is still debated whether fusion of injected stem cells with local resident cardiomyocytes is one of the mechanisms. To better understand the role of fusion in stem cell-based myocardial regeneration, the present study was designed to investigate the fate of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hAS...

A series of new poly-functionalized two-carbon-tethered fused acridine/indole pairs were synthesized via Brønsted acid-promoted domino reactions between indoline-2,3-dione and C(2)-tethered indol-3-yl enaminones. The reactions were further expanded to prepare C-tethered fused acridine/pyridine pairs, N-substituted amino acids, N-cyclopropyl and N-aryl substituted fused acridine derivatives, as ...

Fused teethmay cause aesthetic, spacing, periodontal, eruption, and caries problems.The present case report describes a 7-year-old boy patient with a chief complaint of unerupted maxillary incisor. Radiographic examination indicated a fused tooth which had two fused roots but two independent root canals. A complex management of a fused tooth is really difficult to standardize. In this case an o...

Template protection is a challenging task in the field of biometric systems. Multimodal biometrics is an emergent technology in this field because of its high security features. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to secure fused template of Iris and Finger Knuckle Print (FKP) by using visual cryptography. Visual cryptography is a secret sharing scheme where a fused template is encrypte...

OBJECTIVE Craniosynostosis is a premature fusion of 1 or more cranial sutures. It may occur with additional morphological abnormalities (syndromic) or in isolation. Studies suggest that dysregulation of normal cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration has a role in isolated or nonsyndromic craniosynostosis but the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. The aim of this research is to iden...

Out of a total of 21 exencephalic p53-deficient embryonic and newborn mice, 6 (28.6%) possessed fused maxillary incisor teeth. On histological analysis of the 5 examples seen on day 19.5 of gestation and newborn mice, 3 varieties were observed: an example of 'simple' fusion, 3 examples of simple fusion each of which contained a 'dens in dente' ('tooth within a tooth'), and a single example in w...
