BACKGROUND A potential treatment for healing hepatic tissue is delivering isolated hepatic cells to the site of injury to promote hepatic cells formation. In this technology, providing an appropriate injectable system for delivery of hepatic cells is an important issue. In this regard, fibrin scaffolds were designed with many advantages over other scaffolds like cell delivery vehicles for biode...

Exploration of the relationship between tooth dimensions, body size, and age is important in paleontology, forensic odontology and aesthetic dentistry. It is reasonable to speculate that tooth length is associated with stature since teeth contribute to facial height. This study aimed to determine whether there was an association between tooth length and stature and age in a sample of Sri Lankan...

The Hazard Rate probability value estimation method is an model that carried out fully parametrically or it can also be done by non-parametric methods. Sometimes using the parametric will give biased results because gives too much in general, while causes variance to high. Therefore, for some cases there a way combine two methods, which called Semiparametric method, has characteristics of impro...

After appropriate pathologic confirmation of the diagnosis of melanoma of every sample, tumor samples were tested for BRAF V600E using a kit based on the PCR/hybridization method. DNA extraction was performed using the QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The BRAF mutation was detected using the ViennaLab BRAF StripAssay® kit (ViennaLab Diagnostics GmbH...

Technology, and simulation in particular, can be a very powerful tool in helping students learn statistics, particularly the ideas of long-run patterns and randomness, in a concrete, interactive environment. This talk will provide examples of the integration of simulation to enhance topics throughout an introductory statistics course through a combination of Minitab macros and specifically desi...

In this study, the average surface roughness values obtained when turning AISI 4140 grade tempered steel with a hardness of 51 HRC, were modeled using fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks (ANN) and multi-regression equations. Input variables consisted of cutting speed (V), feed rate (f) and depth of cut (a) while output variable was surface roughness (Ra). Fuzzy logic and ANN models were dev...

OBJECTIVES This study determined the flexural strength of one hipped and eight presintered zirconia and evaluated the results using different estimation methods of Weibull statistics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Presintered zirconia specimens were prepared in white state and sintered according to each manufacturer's instructions. One hipped zirconia acted as the control group. The specimens were lo...
