Our previous study has shown that the decorated tubules (collectively known as the decorated spongiome) of the contractile vacuole complex (CVC) in Paramecium are the site of fluid segregation, as the binding of microinjected monoclonal antibody (mAb) DS-1 to the tubules reduced the CVC's fluid output. In this study, we showed by immunogold labeling on cryosections that the antigenic sites for ...

Most glenoid implants rely on large centrally located fixation features to avoid perforation of the glenoid vault in its peripheral regions. Upon revision of such components there may not be enough bone left for the reinsertion of an anatomical prosthesis. Multiple press-fit small pegs would allow for less bone resection and strong anchoring in the stiffer and denser peripheral subchondral bone...

In this paper, two versions of an iterative loopless algorithm for the classical towers of Hanoi problem with O(1) storage complexity and O(2) time complexity are presented. Based on this algorithm the number of different moves in each of pegs with its direction is formulated. Keywords—Loopless algorithm, Binary tree, Towers of Hanoi.

We prove that the solutions to the k-peg Tower of Hanoi problem given by Frame and Stewart are minimal. This paper solves the problem of finding the least number of moves needed to transfer a Tower of Hanoi of n disks, from an initial peg to another one of the k− 1 other pegs. This problem generalizes a well known puzzle proposed and solved in [5] for the case of three pegs. The generalization ...

Nowadays, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is widely considered to be the gold standard for treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis. Although optimal mode fixation in TKA continues an important area investigation, cementless offers possibility gain biologic fixation, preserve bone stock and mineral density, potentially improve survivorship. The purpose this retrospective study was evaluate clinical ...

PURPOSE Polycarbonate peg has been customarily used for pegging of hydroxyapatite for years. For better movement, tissue tolerance, and to decrease the complications of pegging, titanium peg system has been used. This study compares the two systems. METHODS Complications associated with pegging (polycarbonate: Bio-Eye or titanium: Dr-Perry new P-K) were retrospectively reviewed from the chart...

Hanoi graphs Hn p model the Tower of Hanoi game with p pegs and n discs. Sierpiński graphs Sn p arose in investigations of universal topological spaces and have meanwhile been studied extensively. It is proved that Sn p embeds as a spanning subgraph into Hn p if and only if p is odd or, trivially, if n = 1. MSC: 05C60

Although more than 100 imprinted genes have already been identified in the mouse and human genomes, little is known about genomic imprinting in cattle. For a better understanding of these genes in cattle, parthenogenetically activated bovine blastocysts were transferred to recipient cows to obtain parthenotes, and fibroblasts derived from a Day 40 (Day 0 being the day of parthenogenetic activat...

the arithmetic mean roughness, ra, values were determined by scanning electron microscopic technique of different core models (furazolidone, nitrofurantoin and acetyl salicylic acid), coated by hpmc film forming solution containing 10 wt% of various molecular weight pegs. the results showed that both plasticizer molecular weight and core surface free energy could have a significant influence on...
