Chemical grafting of Polyaniline (PAni) and chitosan (CS) as has been carried out with formaldehyde as grafting agent and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. For this reason aniline monomers were copolymerized with chitosan and were chemically polymerized. The synthesized copolymer was Characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible, scanning electron microscopy ...

Cell transplantation has been suggested as an alternative therapy for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) because this can suppress spontaneous recurrent seizures in animal models. To evaluate the therapeutic potential of human neural stem/progenitor cells (huNSPCs) for treating TLE, we transplanted huNSPCs, derived from an aborted fetal telencephalon at 13 weeks of gestation and expanded in culture a...

A large body of experimental evidence supports the positive effect that supplementing standard breast augmentation techniques with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) has on fat graft survival; however, several clinical studies, including the study by Jung et al. have found that employing ASCs during breast augmentations has limited therapeutic benefit. How can we explain this discrepancy in the ...

Watermelon is widely propagated through grafting, after which seedlings are subjected to healing under controlled conditions including artificial lighting. Light wavelengths, such as blue, red, and far-red, impose considerable effects on seedlings, possibly carry the mature plants. The aim of present study examine whether different light wavelengths during grafted watermelon variable field cult...

Grafting cold-hardy hybrid grapevines may influence their attributes under different pedoclimatic conditions and also contribute to cold-hardiness, plant physiology, affect yield fruit composition. In a six-year study, we evaluated bud survival, development, nutrient deficiencies, yield, composition for three grape varieties: Frontenac, Frontenac blanc, Marquette. The varieties were grafted on ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of cardiac stress testing after coronary revascularization in community practice. BACKGROUND The American College of Cardiology Foundation appropriate use criteria provide guidance for the use of cardiac stress imaging after coronary revascularization. However, little is known regarding the use of routine cardiac stress testing...

A series of well-characterized starch-g-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) graft copolymers was prepared from corn starch which had been heated in water at temperatures up to 94°C to vary the extent of starch granule swelling and disruption. Graft polymerization onto gelatinized starch gave less frequent grafting of higher molecular weight PAN than comparable graft polymerizations onto ungelatinized starc...

Penyambungan (grafting) merupakan salah satu upaya untuk memperbaiki sifat tanaman menggunakan bahan klonal baik pada fase pembibitan, pemeliharaan maupun rehabilitasi. Keragaan kopi Robusta dapat diperbaiki melalui penyambungan intraspesifik (Robusta/Robusta) menghasilkan produktivitas yang lebih tinggi atau interspesifik (Arabika/Robusta) Arabika. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) mengetahui p...

Gamma radiation-induced graft copolymerization of styrene onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films was studied using simultaneous irradiation technique. The effects of grafting conditions on the degree of grafting were investigated. The grafting conditions include monomer concentration, irradiation dose, dose rate, and the type of solvent. Moreover, the effect of the addition of crosslinki...
