This paper presents a longitudinal case study in UK biotechnology covering some 30 years during which genomic technologies were introduced into pig breeding. demonstrates how co-innovation involving existing small and medium sized enterprises, together with contributions from academics, has enabled companies to obtain the resources needed for value creation. Important at critical junctures publ...

introduction low dose rate brachytherapy sources have been widely used for interstitial implants in tumor sites, particularly in prostate. dosimetric characteristics of a new irseed 125i brachytherapy source have been determined using the lif thermoluminescent dosimeter (tld) chips. materials and methods dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function around the irseed 125i so...

This paper, describes a novel technique of graft harvest from the drill site during plate osteosynthesis fractures upper limb. The grafts harvested are corticocancellous chips which we prefer to name as 'Drill dust'. dust usually goes wasted surgeons tend ignore collect drilled out bone is washed or after procedure. We decided these in meticulous and systematic manner found that they form signi...

High oleic soybean (HOSBO) and low linolenic acid soybean (LLSBO) oils were evaluated individually and in a 1:1 blend along with cottonseed oil (CSO) to determine frying oil stabilities and the flavor quality and stability of potato chips. Potato chips were fried in the oils for a total of 25 h. Potato chips and oils were sampled periodically for sensory data, gas chromatographic volatile compo...

Zinc has been demonstrated to play an important role in bone metabolism and is required for normal growth. However, no studies have investigated the influence of zinc on calvarial bone healing in aged or adult rats. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether alimentary zinc supplementation and depletion affect bone healing of calvarial defects implanted with osteopromotive substances in adult...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of hypoxia in the pathology of osteoarthritic (OA) bone by exploring its effect on the phenotype of isolated primary osteoblasts from patients with knee OA. METHODS OA bone samples were collected at the time of elective joint replacement surgery for knee or hip OA. Normal bone samples were collected postmortem from cadaver donors. Primary osteoblasts were iso...
