human adipose tissue represents an abundant, practical and appealing source of donor tissue for autologous cell replacement. recent findings have shown that stem cells within the stromalvascular fraction of adipose tissue display a multilineage developmental potential. adipose tissue-derived stem cells can be differentiated towards adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic,myogenic and neurogenic li...

the identification of multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) derived from adult human tissues such as bone marrow and connective tissues has provided exciting prospects for cell-based tissue engineering and regeneration. this review article focuses on the biology of mscs, their differentiation potentials in vitro and in vivo, and their application in tissue engineering. our current unders...

purpose: using citation analysis of articles published by researchers of the engineering research institute (1991-2005), the current papers examines information seeking behavior of researchers. . methodology: for this reason, 3642 citations were extracted from 547 articles published by the researchers applying bradford's law of scattering to the cited periodicals, the most used periodicals...

In reliability engineering, component importance measures are used to prioritise components in a system for purposes such as reliability improvement and maintenance planning. Existing importance measures have paid little attention to the costs incurred by maintaining a system and its components within a given time period. Cost-effectiveness analysis, however, is critically important in increasi...

The application of robotics to disability and rehabilitation research is fairly recent. This field of research appears to be growing. The National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE is the largest freely accessible public database of medical literature, with more than 11 million citations from 1960 to the present (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi). The number of publications cited each ...
