Temperature dependent elastic constants CijðTÞ of Cu60Zr30Ti10 bulk metallic glass (BMG) have been studied using MHz frequency range electromagnetic acoustic resonance (EMAR) from 4.5 to 300K. At ambient temperature, the BMG shows low shear/bulk modulus ratio (or equivalently high Poisson ratio) compared with that of corresponding crystalline state dues to the dense random packed glassy structu...

OBJECTIVE To compare long- term outcomes of buccal mucosa graft (BMG) augmentation urethroplasty for long segment bulbar urethral strictures done by placing the graft ventrally, dorso-laterally and dorsally. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a single institution retrospective study on 112 who underwent BMG augmentation urethroplasty for non-traumatic bulbar urethral strictures between January...

Histological changes in cultured neonatal skeletal muscle tissue at the early stage of cartilage induction by syngeneic insoluble bone matrix gelatin (BMG) containing bone morphogenetic protein were examined by light and electron microscopy. Minced skeletal muscle was cultured on hemicylindrical pieces of BMG for 14 days. Chondroblasts first appeared in the crevices of the BMG on Day 7 of the c...

This qualitative study examines student musicians’ perceptions of their performance and development resulting from Body Mapping (BMG) technique. BMG is a somatic (mind-body) education technique designed to teach musicians skills in self-evaluation and change for performing with sensory-motor integrity. A qualitative study guided by an interpretive framework was used to collect data from undergr...

We have developed a simple biologically non-invasive method for determining the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of bile salts using pure naturally occurring bilirubin IX alpha monoglucuronide (BMG), an important bile pigment present in virtually all mammalian biles. This methodology employs visible absorbance spectroscopy of BMG in bile salts over a range of bile salt concentrations that ...

Background: In several conditions we have face cranial bone defects. Reconstruction of these defects remains one of the most challenging problems encountered by craniofacial surgeons. Objective: To evaluate bone repair in cranial bone defects by use of an implant made of octacalcium phosphate in combination with bone matrix gelatin (OCP/BMG). Methods: We used 40, 5–6-week-old male Sprague-Dawle...

BACKGROUND The use of buccal mucosa grafts (BMG) for urethral reconstruction has increased in popularity over the last several decades. Our aim was to describe our institutional experience with and outcomes after BMG urethroplasty. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of boys undergoing BMG urethral reconstruction. Preoperative and perioperative characteristics and postoperative ...

Best match graphs (BMG) are a key intermediate in graph-based orthology detection and contain large amount of information on the gene tree. We provide near-cubic algorithm to determine whether BMG can be explained by fully resolved tree and, if so, construct such Moreover, we show that all binary trees refinements unique binary-resolvable (BRT), which general is substantial refinement also leas...
