Transplantation of stem cells, including mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), improves the recovery of cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI) in experimental studies using animal models and in patients.However, the improvement of cardiac function following MSC transplantation remains suboptimal in both preclinical and clinical studies.Under

A short introduction of historical overview and current situation refer to forestry problems of the country.Local climate is characterized and impacts of natural phenomena are described, as well as the impacts of human beings.The influence of forest management is mentioned and discussed in relation to latest catastrophic floods.The territory of the

The error in evaluating the swelling grade of paleo-clay is mainly due to the statistical uncertainty of many factors.Therefore, a sensitivity analysis method for the swelling of old clay is proposed.Based on rough set theory, this paper analyzes the sensitivity of various factors to the swelling properties of paleo-clay and establishes the dominan

Floral volatiles and reward traits are major drivers for the behavior of mutualistic as well as antagonistic flower visitors, i.e., pollinators and florivores.These floral traits differ tremendously between species, but intraspecific differences and their consequences on organism interactions remain largely unknown.Floral volatile compounds, such a

This study presents the experimental evaluation of a piezo-inductive grandpas best mechanical system for applications of energy harvesting with low-frequency vibrations.The piezo-inductive vibration energy harvester (PI-VEH) device is composed of a voice coil motor (VCM) extracted from a hard disk drive.The proposed design allows the integration of
