Several studies have suggested that olfactory ensheathing glia (EG) can form Schwann cell (SC)-like myelin. Because of possible misinterpretation attributable to contaminating SCs, the capacity of EG to produce myelin needs to be explored further. Therefore, we compared the abilities of adult EG, purified by immunopanning with p75 antibody, and adult SCs to produce myelin when cocultured with p...

Genetic and non-genetic correlations of the average somatic cell score (SCS) at different stages oflactation (100, 150, 200, 305 and 365 days in milk) with lactation performance were estimated based on thefirst lactation records of Iranian Holstein calving during 2000 to 2009. (Co) variance components wereestimated using derivative-free REML based on multiple traits animal models. The estimated...

OBJECTIVES Predegeneration is a standard technique to obtain mitotically activated and enriched cultures of Schwann cells (SCs). This study, for the first time, evaluated the impact of various duration of predegeneration on cell yield and enrichment of SCs from dog peripheral nerve. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dog sural nerves were subjected to 5, 10, 15 day-long in vitro predegeneration. The total...

aging is characterized by a failure to maintain tissue homeostasis. Mounting evidence suggests that the accumulation of senescent cells (SCs) is a causal agent in this process, highlighting the relationship between increased SC burden, loss of homeostasis, and heightened risk of developing age-related diseases (ARDs) [1]. Exploring the mechanisms that link SCs and tissue homeostasis is essentia...

Oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea (SCS) has garnered global attention recently; however, uncertainty regarding the accurate number of offshore platforms in the SCS, let alone their detailed spatial distribution and dynamic change, may lead to significant misjudgment of the true status of offshore hydrocarbon production in the region. Using both fresh and archived space-borne images...

5G+ systems expect enhancement in data rate and coverage area under limited power constraint. Such requirements can be fulfilled by the densification of small cells (SCs). However, a major challenge is the management of fronthaul links connected with an ultra dense network of SCs. A cost effective and scalable idea of using network flying platforms (NFPs) is employed here, where the NFPs are us...

As the immediate Past-President of the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS), I commend Henderson et al. for their leadership in developing the Policy Statement, NANS Training Requirements for Spinal Cord Stimulation Devices: Selection, Implantation, and Followup. Neuromodulation 2009; 12:171–4. The continued advancements in the field of neuromodulation are increasingly tempered by a ra...

Runoff potentiality of a watershed was assessed based on identifying curve number (CN), soil conservation service (SCS), and functional data analysis (FDA) techniques. Daily discrete rainfall data were collected from weather stations in the study area and analyzed through lowess method for smoothing curve. As runoff data represents a periodic pattern in each watershed, Fourier series was introd...

This study presents a revised and calibrated Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number (CN) rainfall runoff model for predicting in Malaysia using new power correlation Ia = SL, where L represents the initial abstraction coefficient ratio. The traditional SCS-CN with proposed relation 0.2S is found to be unreliable, exhibits improved accuracy. emphasizes need design flood control infrastruct...
