Two types of piezoelectric wafer active sensor (PWAS) oscillators, Colpitts-type PWAS oscillator and series-type PWAS oscillator, designed for in-vivo monitoring of capsule formation around soft tissue implants have been presented. Both of the oscillators were explored analytically and experimentally. Colpitts-type PWAS oscillator uses the inductive property of the PWAS in its resonant frequenc...

The human brain processes information showing learning and prediction abilities but the underlying neuronal mechanisms still remain unknown. Recently, many studies prove that neuronal networks are able of both generalizations and associations of sensory inputs. In this paper, following a set of neurophysiological evidences, we propose a learning framework with a strong biological plausibility t...

Regenerative medicine has greatly progressed, but tendon regeneration mechanisms and robust in vitro differentiation protocols remain to be elucidated. Recently, explant co-culture (CO) been proposed as an model recapitulate the microenvironment driving development regeneration. Here, we explored standardized for production storage of bioactive tendon-derived secretomes with evaluation their te...

the aim of the present study was to assess the bio-trickling filter startup for the treatment ofwastewater produced by pegah dairy company at psychrophilic condition. the startup time of a bio-tricklingfilter is directly proportional to the concentration of microbial population. abio-trickling column with a height of150 cm was packed with lava rocks with the liquid recirculated through the pack...

More than 20% of all dogs in the United States suffer from lameness and pain associated with chronic osteoarthritis (OA). Many times the current therapeutic modalities are not well tolerated by the pet leaving, few choices for alleviating suffering. Regenerative medicine brings new modalities that may aid dogs that either do not respond to or cannot tolerate traditional therapy. The present stu...

Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is a new approach to modeling systems comprised of autonomous, interacting agents. ABMS promises to have far-reaching effects on the way that businesses use computers to support decision-making and researchers use electronic laboratories to support their research. Some have gone so far as to contend that ABMS is a third way of doing science besides ded...
