RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism whereby small RNAs (siRNAs) directly control gene expression without assistance from proteins. This mechanism consists of interactions between RNAs and small RNAs both of which may be single or double stranded. The target of the mechanism is mRNA to be degraded or aberrated, while the initiator is double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to be cleaved into siRNAs. Obse...

Compute Generated Forces (CGF) have long been used in combination with human players as semi-automated forces (SAF) in the DIS and HLA contexts to represent opposing or friendly forces. The Composable Behavior Technology (CBT) was developed to provide the capability of representing complex behaviors in terms of primitive behaviors, allowing new behaviors to be easily defined to meet simulation ...

Wounds with full-thickness skin loss are commonly managed by skin grafting. In the absence of a graft, reepithelialization is imperfect and leads to increased scar formation. Biomaterials can alter wound healing so that it produces more regenerative tissue and fewer scars. This current study use the new chitosan based biomaterial in full-thickness wound with impaired healing on rat model. Wound...

Sensitivity analysis plays an important role to help engineers gain knowledge of complex model behaviors and make informed decisions regarding where to spend engineering effort. In design under uncertainty, probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) is performed to quantify the impact of uncertainties in random variables on the uncertainty in model outputs. One of the most challenging issues for ...

JDMS, Volume 2, Issue 3, July 2005 Pages 145–160 © 2005 The Society for Modeling and Simulation International It is widely accepted that acquisition of the knowledge behind military tactics has been one limiting factor in the development of computer generated forces (CGF) for training simulations. This has been addressed by several researchers with varying degrees of success. A system capable o...

Computer generated forces have enormous potential for training simulations, mission evaluation and real-world projects. However, to be successful they must faithfully reproduce expert human behavior. Unfortunately, there are currently no standard procedures or methods for determining whether a CGF's behavior meets this validity criterion. Instead, ad hoc methods, which are both tedious and erro...

OBJECTIVE Verify the effects of the association between Biosilicate® and ultrasound and, Biosilicate® and laser in bone consolidation process of rats, through the biomechanical and histological analysis. METHODS Forthy male rats were used. The animals were randomized into four groups (n=10): control group fracture no treated (CGF); group treated with Biosilicate® (BG); group treated with Bios...

Computer Generated Forces (CGFs) are a key component in constructive simulations and are being increasingly used to control multiple entities in Synthetic Environments (SEs). Being a cost-effective way to providing extra players in SEs, they are becoming a possible alternative in various activities, such as Concept, Development and Experimentation (CD&E), analysis, training, tactic development,...
