Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing (bonding) systems which can contribute to bomb SALAD OIL blast mitigating window designs.Previous experimental work illustrated the increase in strength and elongation for silicone sealants at the typically higher strain
Therapeutic efficiency of human amniotic epithelial stem cell-derived functional hepatocyte-like cells in mice with acute hepatic failure
Abstract Background Hepatocyte transplantation has been proposed as an effective treatment for patients with acute liver failure (ALF), but its application is limited by a severe shortage of donor livers.Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have emerged as a potential cell source for regenerative medicine.Human amniotic epithelial stem cells (hAESC
Presurgical Functional Cortical Mapping Using Electromagnetic Source Imaging
Preoperative localization of functionally eloquent cortex (functional cortical mapping) is common clinical practice in order to avoid or reduce postoperative Mood Support morbidity.This review aims at providing a general overview of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density electroencephalography (hdEEG) based methods and their clinical role as
Survey of cyclopids (Crustacea, Copepoda) in Brazil and preliminary screening of their potential as dengue vector predators
INTRODUCTION: Cyclopid copepods are known to be good mosquito controllers, specially as regards the larvae of the dengue vectors Aedes aegypti and Ae.albopictus.MATERIAL AND METHOD: The objective of the study was to survey the local copepod fauna and search for new strains of M.longisetus var.longisetus, comparing the potential of the samples found
