considering the importance of bone augmentation prior to implant placement in order to obtain adequate bone quality and quantity, many studies have been conducted to evaluate different techniques and materials regarding new bone formation. in this study, we investigated the bone healing capacity of two different materials deproteinized bovine bone mineral (dbbm with the trade name of bio-oss) a...

Cytoclean a commercially available detergent, has selective actions on ligand-gated ion channels. Cytoclean (0.0005-0.01% v/v) potentiated 50 microM glycine responses in oocytes expressing alpha-2 glycine receptors by 23 +/- 7% to 342 +/- 43%. Cytoclean is composed of five components dissolved in water, but only one reagent, Bio-Soft D-62, modulated responses of oocytes expressing alpha-2 glyci...

Despite recent studies on bio-fuels for carbon mitigation, biomass resource shortages in Japan continue to be a serious concern. To deal with this future problem, we evaluated whether the large amounts of biomass supplied from arid land afforestation in Western Australia could compensate for this biomass resource shortage, by estimating how much biomass as bio-fuel resource could be produced by...

To reduce the power consumption of bio-sensors which will be potentially implanted into human body, compressed sensing is introduced by taking advantage of the sparsity of bio-signals. Using 32nm CMOS technology, the prototype is able to achieve 10-bit resolution under power consumption of 320 nW. The clock frequency is 20 kHz. The circuit described below is designed to compress bio-signal in t...

To address the challenges in critical care monitoring, we present a multi-modality bio-signal modeling and analysis modeling framework for real-time human state classification and prediction. The novel bioinformatic framework is developed to solve the human state classification and prediction issues from two aspects: a) achieve 1:1 mapping between the bio-signal and the human state via discrimi...

Combined sewer sediment properties were studied in small-scale laboratory ̄umes. Physical and biological characteristics of freshly remoulded sediment beds and beds undisturbed for 1±4 days were examined. When sediment beds were incubated for 1±2 days, the beds became covered with bio®lm and the bed volumes increased by 20±40% due to the formation of methane-®lled cavities. The bed strength dec...

The programs of managing waste materials in developing countries are often unsatisfactory and the unreasonable disposal of waste is a major issue in the worldwide. The main aim of the current study is to: Assess the applicability of Rumex crispus L. in removing heavy metals from the contaminated wastewater effluent form Pharmaceutical laboratories by bio-adsorption method. The dried R. crispus ...
