In this paper we continue development of formal theory of a special class offuzzy logics, called EQ-logics. Unlike fuzzy logics being extensions of theMTL-logic in which the basic connective is implication, the basic connective inEQ-logics is equivalence. Therefore, a new algebra of truth values calledEQ-algebra was developed. This is a lower semilattice with top element endowed with two binary...

Over the last twenty years, technology has reorganized how we live, communicate, and learn. Learning needs theories that describe learning principles processes, should be reflective of underlying social environments. This work presents a research investigation if education can remain relevant in digital era. Two conflicting complementing concepts “critical pedagogy” have been discussed to estab...

introduction: nowadays the necessity of the existence of a certain width of keratinized gingiva is emphasized upon to maintain periodontal health and prevent soft tissue recession around teeth and dental implants. this study was carried out to compare two gingival graft procedures including connective tissue graft and graft with a combination of collagen sponge with platelet-rich plasma and pla...

background: cardiac involvement in systemic sclerosis (ssc) is more prevalent than previously thought. in this study, the frequency and severity of cardiovascular involvement were assessed in ssc patients referred to firouzgar hospital. methods: fifty-eight patients with ssc, selected from the data bank of ssc patients, were reviewed for the frequency and severity of 8 organ involvements in thi...

Bone is a dense connective tissue which is being aff ected by many diseases and that is independent of any age limits. Fibro-osseous lesions consist of the normal bone is being substituted by benign fi brous tissue comprising varying amount of mineralization which characteristically aff ect jaws and the craniofacial bone pathology.

stem cells are of great interest for regenerating disturbed tissues and organs. these cells are commonly isolated from the bone marrow, but there has been interest in other tissues in the recent years. in this study, we evaluated the possibility of isolation of stem cells from oral connective tissue and investigated their characteristics.in this experimental study, sampling from the bone marrow...

objective: different surgical procedures have been proposed for the treatment of gingival recessions. the goal of this study was to compare the clinical results of gingival recession treatment using subepithelial connective tissue graft and an acellular dermal matrix allograft. materials and methods: the present study was performed on 5 patients with 9 bilateral miller`s class i or ii gingival ...

We have used organs cultures of murine mesentery as a model system to investigate the mechanisms by which B16-F10 melanoma cells invade normal tissues. The mesentery has the advantage of being a real tissue, consisting of a loose connective tissue, containing a normal complement of stromal cells and extracellular matrix, covered by a continuous epithelium of squamous mesothelial cells which are...
