DEFINITION Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) processes are responsible for the operations taking place in the back stage of a data warehouse architecture. In a high level description of an ETL process, first, the data are extracted from the source data stores that can be On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) or legacy systems, files under any format, web pages, various kinds of docu...

Cohesin is best known as a crucial component of chromosomal stability. Composed of several essential subunits in budding yeast, cohesin forms a ring-like complex that is thought to embrace sister chromatids, thereby physically linking them until their timely segregation during cell division. The ability of cohesin to bind chromosomes depends on the Scc2-Scc4 complex, which is viewed as a loadin...

Osseointegrated extra-oral implants have been used effectively as the anchoring points for facial prostheses. The success of the extra-oral implants is dependant upon the continuing health of the bone-implant interface, and although the success rate of extra-oral implants is high there are still recorded failures in all the bones of the face. One of the factors that is believed to influence the...

This paper proposes a tool for dimension reduction where the of original space is reduced: principal loading analysis. Principal analysis to reduce dimensions by discarding variables. The intuition that variables are dropped which distort covariance matrix only little. Our method introduced and an algorithm conducting provided. Further, we give bounds noise arising in sample case.

OBJECTIVE Physiological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under loading or knee malalignment conditions has not been thoroughly investigated. We assessed the influence of static loading and knee alignment on T2 (transverse relaxation time) mapping of the knee femoral cartilage of porcine knee joints using a non-metallic pressure device. METHODS Ten porcine knee joints were harvested en bloc wi...

Bone adapts its morphology (density/micro- architecture) in response to the local loading conditions in such a way that a uniform tissue loading is achieved ('Wolff's law'). This paradigm has been used as a basis for bone remodeling simulations to predict the formation and adaptation of trabecular bone. However, in order to predict bone architectural changes in patients, the physiological exter...

Mechanical loading has been shown to affect cell viability and matrix maintenance in the intervertebral disc (IVD) but there is no investigation on how cells survive mechanical stress and whether the IVD cells perceive mechanical loading as stress and respond by expression of heat shock proteins. This study investigates the stress response in the IVD in response to compressive loading. Bovine c...

Purpose: Higher loading rates have been associated with injuries, plantar fasciitis, tibia bone stress injuries, knee osteoarthritis and PFP. The aim of this study is the evaluation of loading rate in PFP patients compared to healthy individuals during weight bearing tasks. Methods: Search strategy was conducted in databases: Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar. The outcome measu...
