Artificial atoms are a cornerstone of emerging technologies that promise to make practical use of the laws of quantum mechanics. In principle, artificial atoms should behave like real atoms but be compatible with a solidstate environment. As such, they could serve as solidstate quantum bits (qubits) ideally suited to interfacing with photonic qubits. They could store, manipulate, and retrieve q...

Artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) is an efficient and popular evolutionary (EAs), which has been attracted wide attention by researchers, improved ABC with various characteristics (ABCs) have proposed. It widely acknowledged that the search operator core element in performance of ABC. However, generally designed operators ABCs are rotation-variable processes dependent mainly on natural coor...

Reproducing a tumor microenvironment consisting of blood vessels and tumor cells for modeling tumor invasion in vitro is particularly challenging. Here, we report an artificial blood vessel implanted 3D microfluidic system for reproducing transvascular migration of tumor cells. The transparent, porous and elastic artificial blood vessels are obtained by constructing polysaccharide cellulose-bas...

PURPOSE The radial forearm flap is one of the most commonly used methods for intraoral reconstruction in oral carcinoma surgery. One of its disadvantages is the residual functional and unaesthetic defect in the donor site. The objective of this report is to describe preliminary cases of a novel method to cover such donor sites based on the use of autologous skin equivalents (ASEs) and an artifi...

The aim of this study was to develop an image preprocessing model that utilize downsampling technique to reduce the pixel matrix to optimize artificial neural network in order to facilitate the handwriting recognition for letter A,B,C,D and E. In the proposed model, the handwriting images was first subjected to binarization process, the followed by the pixel matrix downsampling first using the ...

Background: In recent years, transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue has proved to be a promising approach to restore fertility in cancer patients. However, such a procedure cannot be carried out in women at risk of ovarian involvement due to the threat of reintroducing malignant cells. The aim of this study was therefore to create an artificial ovary as an alternative to restore fertil...
