objective(s):osteoarthritis (oa) is globally one of the most common diseases from the middle age onwards. cartilage is an avascular tissue therefore it cannot be repaired in the body. conservative treatments have failed as a good remedy and cell therapy as a decisive cure is needed. one of the best and easily accessible cell sources for this purpose is adipose-derived stem cells which can be di...

although in recent two decades, the concept of dielectric barrier discharges (dbds) have been developed in ozone production well, air pollution control, plasma screens and control of chemical, and biological and medical processes, employment of this concept for high voltage applications to improve insulation performance as an alternative to the pressurized gas-insulated systems (gis) utilizing ...

Objective(s):Osteoarthritis (OA) is globally one of the most common diseases from the middle age onwards. Cartilage is an avascular tissue therefore it cannot be repaired in the body. Conservative treatments have failed as a good remedy and cell therapy as a decisive cure is needed.

Objective(s): Since the electric field is the main driving force in electrospinning systems, the modeling and analysis of electric field distribution are critical to the nanofibers production. The aim of this study was modeling of the electric field and investigating the various parameters on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers morphology and diameter. Methods:</st...

Introduction: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a process in which the membrane of the cancer cells are irreversibly damaged with the use of high-intensity electric pulses, which in turn leads to cell death. The IRE is a non-thermal way to ablate the cancer cells. This process relies on the distribution of the electric field, which affects the pulse amplitude, width, and electrical conducti...

background and objectives: pulsed electric field (pef) is a novel emerging technology which is believed to have the potential to substitute conventional thermal pasteurization (htst). in the current study pef was compared with htst based on microbial inactivation and quality attributes. materials and methods: juice was prepared by extracting it from semirum apples. they were chilled to 4ºc over...

in this paper, the effect of electric field on two-dimensional low reynolds air flow around an airfoil and variation of the forces acting on the airfoil is numerically investigated. the electric current and poisson’s equations are solved and the outcome is considered as a source term in the momentum equations. the energy equation is not considered due to its weak effect on the phenomena. the fi...

To calculate and evaluate wave scattering and penetration of electromagnetic waves in different biological tissues it is necessary to use a realistic model of the human body, with all tissues resolved and separately assigned with appropriate electric/magnetic properties. We report the development of a realistic 3D whole-body human model that has been adapted for simulation in CST software, cont...
