background: a precise understanding of the mechanism of human neointimal stenoses and atherosclerotic fibrous plaques , which give rise to thromboses in vital arteries, requires a suitable animal model that would mimic the same characteristics well. we developed a rabbit model of neointimal stenosis and fibrotic plaque rupture in the carotid artery to visualize the lesion progress and to charac...

bone matrix gelatin (bmg) has been used for bone induction intramuscularly and subcutaneously by many investigators since 1965. more recently, some of the researchers have used bmg particles for bone repair and reported various results. in present study for evaluation of bone induction and new bone formation in parital defects, bmg particles were used in five groups of rats. the bmg was prepare...

this research considers the recognition and evaluation of identity formation process in new towns, with special reference to hashtgerd new town in iran, located in some 65 kilometers distance on the west of tehran, the capital. the construction of hashtgerd new town and people settlement was started in more than 15 years ago. the concept of city identity, its divisions and elements, explanation...

the hydrolysis of cadmium nitrate was studied spectrophotometrically at different ionic strengthsof sodium perchlorate in a wide ph range, 1-12, and at 25 c. least squares calculations areconsistent with the formation of m(oh)+, m(oh)2, m(oh)3- and m(oh)42- species, which m iscd2+. the dependency on ionic strength in the background electrolyte solutions was taken intoaccount by using a debye-hu...

feminist critical discourse analysis is an approach distinguished by its focus on revealing unequal power relations between women and men in their social life. in the present paper, it is suggested that simone de beauvoir’s theory of the formation of gender identity and female subject in the second sex provides a meaningful theoretical ground to the feminist critical discourse analysis. althoug...

conclusions alendronate may be considered a therapeutic option for improving the bone formation process and reducing resorption in different bone grafting procedures. further detailed studies should focus on dosage and time-dependent effects of alendronate on bone remodeling. results at 6 weeks, the bone area was significantly larger in the xenograft-alendronate group (33.0% ± 5.0%) than in the...

the main purpose of this research paper is to compare qiujiahe formation (є1q) and longmaxi formation (s1ln) in north sichuan basin where shale gas exploration has not been fully researched, and hence represents the possibility of shale gas concentration under the complex geological conditions. based on valid laboratorial analysis, there are optimistic prospects for є1q and s1ln of research are...

Intonational phrasing is a research topic in both phonological theory and speech synthesis. Both disciplines can benefit from a systematic evaluation and fine tuning of intonational phrasing algorithms. This article presents a method for the evaluation of intonational phrasing algorithms. The method allows for a largely automatic evaluation. A number of advantages of this approach are discussed...
