Following status epilepticus in the rat, dentate granule cell neurogenesis increases greatly, and many of the new neurons appear to develop ectopically, in the hilar region of the hippocampal formation. It has been suggested that the ectopic hilar granule cells could contribute to the spontaneous seizures that ultimately develop after status epilepticus. However, the population has never been q...

The present study investigated the influence of granule size of 2 biphasic bone substitutes (BoneCeramic® 400-700 μm and 500-1000 μm) on the induction of multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) and implant bed vascularization in a subcutaneous implantation model in rats. Furthermore, degradation mechanisms and particle phagocytosis of both materials were examined by transmission electron microscopy ...

Transport and retention of multi-sized suspended granules are common phenomena in fracture media oil, gas geothermal reservoirs. It can lead to severe permeability damage productivity decline, which has a significant impact on the efficient development underground resources. However, granule transport behaviors remain not well understood quantified. The novel stochastic model is proposed for na...

Cellular communication depends on membrane fusion mechanisms. SNARE proteins play a fundamental role in all intracellular fusion reactions associated with the life cycle of secretory vesicles, such as vesicle-vesicle and vesicle plasma membrane fusion at the porosome base in the cell plasma membrane. We present growth and elimination (G&E), a birth and death model for the investigation of granu...

The manufacture of highly drug-loaded fine globular granules eventually applied for orally disintegrating tablets has been investigated using a unique multi-functional rotor processor with acetaminophen, which was used as a model drug substance. Experimental design and statistical analysis were used to evaluate potential relationships between three key operating parameters (i.e., the binder flo...

We study the mean size of wavelet packets in Lp. An exact formula for the mean size is given in terms of the p-norm joint spectral radius. This will be a corollary of an asymptotic formula for the Lp-norms on the subdivision trees. Then the stability and Schauder basis property of wavelet packets in Lp, and the instability of biorthogonal wavelet packets in L2 are analyzed. AMS Subject Classifi...
