rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is tcp. this is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by tcp affect other sessions...

Objective(s): Autologous bone transplantation known as the “gold standard” to reconstruction of osseous defects has known disadvantages. This study was designed to explore the effects of hydroxy-apatite/tricalcium-phosphate (HA/TCP) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the osteogenesis ability of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAdMSCs) in vitro and in vivo. Materials and Methods: hA...

This study aimed to investigate the free calcium released from different brands of toothpaste after incorporation with a beta-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP)/amorphous (ACP) mixed powder and ?-TCP alone. Four were used for experiment: Nano-Bio Activation Toothpaste, Colgate Total Advanced Whitening BORONIA Herbal Whitening, BioMin F. The investigated ACP powders prepared by two-step sintering meth...

Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM 138) xenografts. These agents showed a high relaxivity because of their greater potential to coordinate water molecules. The reduction of T1 relaxation times of 16 and 21% was observed i...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluation radiobiological modeling parameters on tumor control probability (TCP) for prostate cancer in three different models. These parameters included α⁄β ratios and cell surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2). Materials and Methods: The Poisson, equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and linear quadratic (LQ) models was used as...
