Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) can be induced to differentiate into epithelial-like cells when cultured in a differentiation medium. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signalling pathway plays an important regulatory function in epithelial proliferation and differentiation.TGF-β1 functions through a complex mechanism

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a noble initiative to deal with certain chronic socioeconomic problems of the backward societies. Targeted to achieve eight major goals by 2015, the initiative deserves critical assessment of its achievement and strategies as its time frame is approaching to an end. Based on data on the goals achievement

The reliance on arbitration clause within the context of shareholders' protection under company law rules gives rise to several questions which the article seeks to answer: first, whether members may agree to rely on arbitration regarding matters that would ordinarily be resolved through a statutorily provided remedy such as an oppression remed

Objective: Elucidate the antinociceptive mechanisms of a-mangostin isolated from Garcinia malaccensis Linn. Methods: Male mice/rats (n 1⁄4 6/group) were used in this between-group study. To determine a-mangostin’s antinociceptive profile, animals were given a-mangostin orally (3, 30, or 100 mg/kg) 60 min before the start of the abdominal constr

Given that there are overgrowing demands for video streaming application in the downlink Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A), effective scheduling of these delay-sensitive real-time packets are critical. However, there remains a challenge where (re)transmission of video packets in the downlink LTE-A may subject to numerous impairments including ou

The awareness regarding students with disabilities (SwDs) in campus of higher educational institutions has been increasing. This study investigates the access audit on the proper planning and designing of campus landscape environment which is not only useful for able-bodied people/students but also for the disabled people/students. Preliminary stud

This paper discusses the theoretical aspects of disability and its relationship to campus planning. It presents the theoretical frameworks consist of the definition of disability and people with disabilities (PwDs); types of disabilities in built environment which cover issues and challenges faced by disabled peoples; outdoor spaces of campus plann

The aim of this study is to analyse the performance of fuzzy logic-based control designed for a wheelchair motion control using the eye movement signals. These signals are acquired through electrooculography (EOG) technique. The EOG is a technique to acquire the eye movement signals from a person, i.e tetraplegia, which the data obtained can be use

Fuzzy logic is widely used in many complex and nonlinear systems for control, system identification and pattern recognition problems. The fuzzy logic controller provides an alternative to the PID controller which is a good tool for control of systems that are difficult to model. In this paper, the fuzzy-based classifiers were designed in order to d

DNA methylation silences the gene through addition of methyl group. p16, a tumor suppressor gene that inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase, inactivates the Rb protein and blocks G1 phase in a normal cell cycle. A DNA repair gene, MGMT removes alkyl adduct to a cysteine residue within the protein, thus preventing lethal cross-links. p16 and MGMT methyla
