background gelatin and chitosan are known as biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymers.these biopolymers have recently receivedincreasingly more attention for tissueengineering.the aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity effects of gelatin-chitosan film on bone marrow stromal cell(bmscs) culture in rat.                                                  material & methods: first, gelatin...

background cleft palate (cp) is a common congenital defect. it makes serious difficulties for cleft-affected children. the gold standard of care is autogenous bone grafting which may cause additional problems in donor site along with disappointing results. tissue engineering is a promising solution for a widespread range of defects and disorders. it is reasonable to utilize this novel technolog...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are multipotent cells, capable of differentiating into different cell lines.they can sense their surrounding biochemical and biophysical factors, which play major roles in their differentiation toward different phenotypes. therefore, the exposure of these cells to endothelial growth factor (vegf) as well as hemodynamic biomechanical forces, which act on...

infinite dilution activity coefficients have been measured for seven binary systems at three different pressures using a newly - designed ebulliometer. the results obtained through these experimental measurements have been compared to literature values for four of the seven binary systems and the calculated deviation has been less than five percent in most cases. having verified the soundness a...

Density, viscosity and refractive index of pure, binary and ternary mixtures of diethanolamine (DEA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) with water have been measured at different temperatures from 288.15 K to 323.15 K at atmospheric pressure. Also, this study presents the effects of mixture composition and temperature upon these thermo- physical properties. To measure the density and refractive i...

a simple and reliable method for quick estimation of the dielectric constant of a binary solvent mixture is proposed. the validity of the proposed method has been tested for a broad range of binary solvent mixtures

In this article, multiple-product PVRP with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. A mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. Each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. To solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...

In this presentation we show the semi-supervised learning with two input sources can be transformed into a maximum margin problem to be similar to a binary SVM. Our formulation exploits the unlabeled data to reduce the complexity of the class of the learning functions. In order to measure how the complexity is decreased we use the Rademacher Complexity Theory. The corresponding optimization pro...

binary decision diagram (bdd) is a data structure proved to be compact in representation and efficient in manipulation of boolean formulas. using binary decision diagram in network reliability analysis has already been investigated by some researchers. in this paper we show how an exact algorithm for network reliability can be improved and implemented efficiently by using cudd - colorado univer...

in this paper, we consider an arbitrary binary polynomial sequence {a_n} and then give a lower triangular matrix representation of this sequence. as main result, we obtain a factorization of the innite generalized pascal matrix in terms of this new matrix, using a riordan group approach. further some interesting results and applications are derived.
