The high computational complexity, memory footprints, and energy requirements of machine learning models, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), hinder their deployment on resource-constrained embedded systems. Most state-of-the-art works have considered this problem by proposing various low bit-width data representation schemes optimized arithmetic operators’ implementations. To further el...

background: development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has led to designing scaffolds and their modification to provide a better microenvironment which mimics the natural niche of the cells. gelatin surface modification was applied to improve scaffold flexibility and cytocompatibility. methods: plla/pcl aligned fibrous scaffold was fabricated using electrospinning method. adscs...

the application of laser in dentistry is considered as a favorable technique for patients due to its many advantages compare to other current methods. one of the main goals in pediatric dentistry is to provide the treatment as comfortable as possible without any risks for the care. laser is being used in different pediatric dental conditions including caries detection, caries removal and cavity...

background in the living donor liver transplant setting, the preoperative assessment of potential donors is important to ensure the donor safety. objectives the aim of this study was to identify causes and costs of living liver-donors rejection in the donation process. materials and methods from june 2010 to june 2012, all potential living liver donors for 66 liver transplant candidates were sc...

stem cell research has obtained much prominence in recent years for its therapeutic potential in dealing with serious diseases, many of which are essentially incurable by routine therapies. mesenchymal stem cells with pluripotency and immunomodulatory properties are suitable candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. today, nanofibrous scaffolds are widely used in tissue engin...
