Osteochondral grafts are used for repair of focal Bracket Cover osteochondral lesions.Autologous grafts are the gold standard treatment; however, limited graft availability and donor site morbidity restrict use.Therefore, there is a clinical need for different graft sources/materials which replicate natural cartilage function.Chitosan has been prop
The article deals with the definitions of the Couch distance, divergence, and similarity characteristics between two finite fuzzy measures, which are generalizations of the same definitions between two finite probability distributions.As is known, a fuzzy measure can be uniquely represented by the so-called its associated probability class (APC).Th
The lack of dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) compromises the integrity and function of muscle fibers.Skeletal muscles, except the diaphragm, do not undergo progressive degeneration in adult mdx mice due to compensatory mechanisms, including structural protein upregulation.New mouse models, including utrophin haploinsufficient mdx (md
Moist-induced electricity generators (MEGs) that harvest electric energy from water or moist has been considered as an efficient and sustainable technique to meet the increasingly serious energy crisis.However, the low output performance, non-degradability and complicated preparation processes of current MEGs have hindered their practical applicati
Regarding strategic importance of wheat and occurrence of sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps Puton), as an important pest of wheat in Iran, an efficient IPM program against the pest is needed for an acceptable production.Since natural enemies are one of the most important components in IPM programs, their identification is necessary for augmentation
