Objective: The present study aimed to assess ridge augmentation with an allograft bone ring versus GBR titanium

Abstract In the last decade, index-based weather products (also called derivatives) have been gaining attention in climate resilience discussion. Weather derivatives are designed to help companies hedging against variability. These products, that can be market-traded or over-the-counter, compensate individuals based on a pre-defined index. Thus, pay-offs of derivative depend index and not, as w...

Abstract The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the largest coral reef system on earth, with ecological and scientific importance for world economic iconic value Australia. However, characterisation of its offshore wave climate remains challenging because remoteness large dimensions. Here, we present a detailed analysis GBR, unveiling details both modal conditions extreme events. We used calibrated sa...

Research related to the potential for coral reef-derived dimethylsulfide (DMS) oxidation products regulate regional climate of Great Barrier Reef (GBR) according CLAW hypothesis is summarized in this mini review. The GBR has been indicated as a region high DMS production where atmospheric emissions may be increased when corals are subject environmental stresses associated with low tide. During ...

Introduction: Health promoting properties which generated worldwide interest in germinated rough rice (GRR) and brown (GBR) are attributed largely by the bioactive compounds bran. Therefore, present study, antioxidant activities from gradient methanol ethanol solvents followed fractionations were evaluated. Methods: GRR GBR crude extracts successively obtained two concentrations of (80% 100%) (...

Objectives To evaluate new lateral bone formation and volume augmentation by guided regeneration (GBR) in chronic non-contained defects with the use of a non-resorbable TiO2-block. Materials methods Three buccal were created each hemimandible eight beagle dogs allowed to heal for 8 weeks before treatment GBR. Each was randomly allocated 4- or 12-week healing time after GBR, three intervention g...

Herbal cosmetics are gaining popularity over chemicals for beauty products. However, natural products often prone to deterioration. Therefore, stability and compatibility testing the main examinations of safety reliability herbal cosmetics. Liquid crystal structures provide better application performances than conventional emulsion systems in terms stability, controlled release, moisturizing. R...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a new treatment for bone defects, and the property of membrane is critical to the success of GBR. This study focuses on a novel membrane tube for GBR, which was prepared by a nanocalcium-deficient hydroxyapatite-multi(amino acid) copolymer (n-CDHA-MAC) composite. The biomechanical strength and degradability of this membrane tube under mec...

Two different uptake processes terminate the synaptic action of released catecholamines in brain: the high-affinity uptake to presynaptic nerve terminals (uptake(1), followed by oxidation by monoamine oxidase, MAO) or glial cells uptake (uptake(2), followed by O-methylation by catechol-O-methyltransferase, COMT, and/or oxidation by MAO). For dopaminergic neurons, uptake by the high-affinity dop...
