objective: by date investigations have indicated the presence of stem cells within the pulp tissue of both temporary and permanent human teeth. in the present study, these stem cells were compared in terms of their growth kinetics and culture requirements. materials and methods: stem cells within the pulp of the human third molar (permanent tooth) and the deciduous incisor (temporary tooth) wer...

Variation in movement across time and space fundamentally shapes the abundance and distribution of populations. Although a variety of approaches model structured population dynamics, they are limited to specific types of spatially structured populations and lack a unifying framework. Here, we propose a unified network-based framework sufficiently novel in its flexibility to capture a wide varie...

The first positive trend is the slowing of global population growth. There is a significant shift in global fertility that will enable us at least to think about moving to a world of near stable populations within a century, maybe sooner. Fertility in about 40 per cent of the world’s countries is now below the replacement rate. Another 40 per cent are experiencing continued downward movement of...

The majority of the world's population will live in cities in the next few years and the pace of urbanization worldwide will continue to accelerate over the coming decades. While the number of megacities is projected to increase, the largest population growth is expected to be in cities of less than one million people. Such a dramatic demographic shift can be expected to have an impact on popul...

An eco-evolutionary feedback loop is defined as the reciprocal impacts of ecology on evolutionary dynamics and evolution on ecological dynamics on contemporary timescales. We experimentally tested for an eco-evolutionary feedback loop in the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, by manipulating initial densities and evolution. We found strong evidence that initial aphid density alters the rate and...

"The purpose of this [one-page] note is to empirically investigate the impact of geographic after-tax real income differentials on geographic population growth rate differentials. The focus is on population growth rates in Florida's 67 counties over the period 1980-88." The authors conclude that "even after allowing for a variety of other location-influencing factors, including coastal access...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate glycemic variability indices in relation to demographic factors and common environmental lifestyles in a general adult population. METHODS The A Estrada Glycation and Inflammation Study is a cross-sectional study covering 1516 participants selected by sampling of the population aged 18 years and over. A subsample of 622 individuals participated in th...

BACKGROUND Endemic human pathogens are subject to strong immune selection, and interrogation of pathogen genome variation for signatures of balancing selection can identify important target antigens. Several major antigen genes in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have shown such signatures in polymorphism-versus-divergence indices (comparing with the chimpanzee parasite P. reichenowi)...

Forest dynamics is mostly concerned with the changes in forest structure and composition over time, including its behavior response to anthropogenic natural destructions which one of primary evidence change. This study presents vegetation pattern formation taken into account all interaction measure indices such as light, water, temperature nutrients fertility. Michaelis-Menten Kinetics a Contin...

Economic growth is a leading indicator in measuring country's well-being. most countries the world has increased so far. Therefore, purpose of this study to find out factors that affect economic OIC member countries. The also aims determine 10 results showed export variables, government spending, human development indices had significant positive effect on While population variable, labor force...
