J Stem Cell Res Ther 2017, 2(6): 00081 Abstract Present review article emphasize role of biominerals in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Among all biominerals calcium is essential for body growth and development. It also performs many fundamental functions in cellular metabolism. Inside cell organic matrix is calcified by calcium phosphate minerals. It also embeds bone cells which ...

OBJECTIVE Several studies have documented a profile of elevated scores on the Attention Problems, Aggressive Behavior and Anxious/Depressed scales of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in youth with bipolar disorder. The sum of these scales, referred to as the CBCL Juvenile Bipolar Disorder (JBD) phenotype, has modest diagnostic utility, and high scores are associated with severity of psychopa...

The most expressive way humans display emotions is through facial expressions. In this work we report on several advances we have made in building a system for classification of facial expressions from continuous video input. We introduce and test different Bayesian network classifiers for classifying expressions from video, focusing on changes in distribution assumptions, and feature dependenc...

Themechanisms for in vivo production of bonemarrow–derived hepatocytes (BMDHs) remain largely unclear.We investigated whether granulocyte colony–stimulating factor (G-CSF)–mediated mobilization of hematopoietic cells increases the phenomenon. Recurrent liver injury in mice expressing green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in all hematopoietic-derived cells was produced by 3months of carbon tetrachlor...

The prevalence of hypertension is greater for blacks than whites. Whether black children have higher blood pressure than white children is less clear. We investigated this issue through a prospective longitudinal assessment of blood pressure in 345 white children and 164 black children. Each child had his or her blood pressure measured every 6 months for 2 to 5.5 years. The means for systolic a...

In recent years a lot of novel (mostly naturally inspired) search heuristics have been proposed. Among those approaches is Harmony Search. After its introduction in 2000, positive results and improvements over existing approaches have been reported. In this paper, the authors give a review of the developments of Harmony Search during the past decade and perform a rigorous analysis of this appro...
