The amniotic membrane (AM) and amniotic fluid (AF) have a long history of use in surgical and prenatal diagnostic applications, respectively. In addition, the discovery of cell populations in AM and AF which are widely accessible, nontumorigenic and capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types has stimulated a flurry of research aimed at characterizing the cells and evaluating their ...

We present a technique for devising a progress indicator of static analyzers. Progress indicator is a useful user interface that shows how close a static analysis has progressed so far to its completion. Because static analysis’ progress depends on the semantic complexity, not on the code size, of the target software, devising an accurate progressindicator is not obvious. Our technique first co...

To my family and friends. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research work that I commenced four years ago would not have culminated into this dissertation without the help and constant support of many people. I am grateful to my advisor, Professor John D. Cressler, for providing me with this wonderful and exciting opportunity. His deep love and enthusiasm for research and his passion for life is very i...

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has tremendous potential for geometrically complex metallic products with freedom of design and desirable performance. Qualification certification are critical to ensuring the successful adoption metal AM by various sectors accelerating standardisation progress. This article provides a comprehensive review on status challenges qualification AM, which is timely ...

Circadian rhythms are driven by endogenous clock gene and affects in several gastric parameters causing ulcerogenesis. The study was aimed to evaluate the time dependent antiulcer activity of hydroxyzine in cold-stress-induced ulcer model. The ulcer protection effect of hydroxyzine was studied at various time intervals (9 am, 1 pm, 5 pm, 91 pm, 1 am and 5 am) in cold stress ulcer model using wi...

Background: The appropriate colon cleansing is a major determinant of quality of colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of the morning (AM) PEG (polyethylene glycol) solution to previous-evening (PM) PEG solution for the afternoon colonoscopy. Methods: This comparative study compared the AM to PM prep for afternoon outpatient colonoscopy. The subjects r...

These notes are to be regarded as a ‘plea for help’. Although I continue to make progress at proofs, the progress is slow. I am out of my usual area of work, and others, more expert in convex geometry matters, may well be able to tell me whether things that I’m trying to prove are true or not, or unknown. My email is [email protected] Assistance with settling the questions associated with ...
