BACKGROUND The human anterior cruciate ligament (hACL) and medial collateral ligament (hMCL) of the knee joint are frequently injured, especially in athletic settings. It has been known that, while injuries to the MCL typically heal with conservative treatment, ACL injuries usually do not heal. As adult stem cells repair injured tissues through proliferation and differentiation, we hypothesized...

Abstract The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method was applied to calculate the runoff in Khur khur watershed (KHW) based on (GIS and RS) techniques. is located southeast of Iraqi Kurdistan region northeast Iraq foothill zone. total area (106.84) km 2 , fifth order, it meets Sirwan river. study aim speculate annual volume select dam site order harvest water from (KHW). research...

The future multimedia Internet needs mechanisms to provide QoS (Quality of Service) for users. Service curve (SC) is an effective description of QoS and SCED (service curve based earliest deadline first policy) is an efficient scheduling algorithm to guarantee SCs specified by users. Deadline calculation is the core of SCED. The unique treatable SC as we know is the concave piecewise linear SC ...

Objective Cervical spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been found to augment cerebral blood flow (CBF) in a number of animal models. However, the effective use of SCS is hampered by a lack of understanding of its mechanism(s) of action. In this paper, we focus on the sympathetic and parasympathetic effects of SCS on CBF. Method Sprague-Dawley rats were selected for the experimental series.The ani...

Early recombination nodules (ENs) are protein complexes approximately 100 nm in diameter that are associated with forming synaptonemal complexes (SCs) during leptotene and zygotene of meiosis. Although their functions are not yet clear, ENs may have roles in synapsis and recombination. Here we report on the frequency and distribution of ENs in zygotene SC spreads from six plant species that inc...

pavement permanent deformations due to lack of shear strength in mixture are a major reason of rutting. any simple test to determine mixtures resistance to permanent deformation isn’t distinguished in the 1st level of superpave mix design method and prevalent methods for evaluating mixture rut resistance are expensive and time-consuming. two aggregate types, gradations, asphalt cements and fill...

We have produced a high-resolution physical recombination map for tomato chromosomes by determining the frequency and distribution of recombination nodules (RNs) on tomato synaptonemal complexes (SCs). We present evidence that there is a 1:1 relationship between RNs and chiasmata. Every SC has at least one RN. There are no RNs at the ends of SCs, in kinetochores, or in the heterochromatic short...

Suburban growth and its impacts on surface runoff were investigated using the soil conservation service curve number (SCS-CN) model, compared with integrated advanced remote sensing geographic information system (GIS)-based approach, over South Kingston, Rhode Island, USA. This study analyzed employed supervised classification method four Landsat images from 1994, 2004, 2014, 2020 to detect lan...

The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Sense of Contribution Scale (SCS), a newly developed, 7-item questionnaire used to measure sense of contribution in the workplace. Workers at 272 organizations answered questionnaires that included the SCS. Because of non-participation or missing data, the number of subjects included in the analyses for internal consist...

Schwann cells (SCs) are indispensable for cell therapy and tissue engineering of the peripheral nervous system. Easy access to activated, highly proliferative SCs is necessary for clinical applications. The present study developed a fast, efficient method for obtaining highly purified SCs from the peripheral nerve of a mature Rhesus monkey. The common peroneal nerves of 4‑year‑old Rhesus monkey...
