results daily administration of 50 mg/kg ptx (groups 1 and 2) decreased the high stress load in repairing osteotomized femurs when compared with the control group. the highest dose of ptx (200 mg/kg) significantly increased the high stress load when compared with the control group (p = 0.030), group 1 (p = 0.023), group 2 (p = 0.008), and group 3 (p = 0.010), per the lsd findings. materials and...

background patients who have shoulder pain usually have compensatory or contributory deviation of shoulder motion during arm elevation. in the traditional scapulohumeral rhythm, the share of the acromioclavicular (ac) and the sternoclavicular (sc) joint movements and also the role of ac internal rotation angle are unknown. objectives the main purpose of this study was to measure and compare the...

a complex phenomenon such as the mind presents tremendous computational complexity challenges. Modeling field theory (MFT) addresses these challenges in a non-traditional way. The main idea behind MFT is to match levels of uncertainty of the model (also, a problem or some theory) with levels of uncertainty of the evaluation criterion used to identify that model. When a model becomes more certai...

It has become increasingly clear that natural phenomena cannot be formally deduced from laws but that almost every phenomenon has its own particular way of being linked to higher-level generalizations, usually via approximations, normalizations and corrections. This article deals with the following problem: if there are no general principles to link laws to phenomena, and if each phenomenon has...

Retention characteristics of UF membranes are de— lineated through comparison of the combined viscous flow and frictional model with the Ferry—Faxen equation. The molecular weight cut—off concept is discussed using calculations of how sharp cut-off curves one can expect of UF membranes with uniform pore sizes and how heteroporosity will affect such curves. Experimental retention—flux curves for...

Gene silencing is a widespread phenomenon in plants, and can affect endogenous genes as well as transgenes integrated into the genome [1,2]. Gene silencing can be induced by interactions between related genes, and one of the best-known examples is named paramutation. Paramutation is the directed heritable alteration of one allele following exposure to another allele in a heterozygote [3]. Examp...
