Engineered coatings for titanium implants to present ultra-low doses of BMP-7
...Show More Authors

The ongoing research to improve the clinical outcome of titanium implants has resulted in the implementation of multiple approaches to deliver osteogenic growth factors accelerating and sustaining osseointegration. Here we show the presentation of human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) adsorbed to titanium discs coated with poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA). We have previously shown that PEA promotes fibronectin organization into nanonetworks exposing integrin- and growth-factor-binding domains, allowing a synergistic interaction at the integrin/growth factor receptor level. Here, titanium discs were coated with PEA and fibronectin and then decorated with ng/mL doses of BMP-7. Human mesenchymal stem cells were used to investigate cellular responses on these functionalized microenvironments. Cell adhesion, proliferation, and mineralization, as well as osteogenic markers expression (osteopontin and osteocalcin) revealed the ability of the system to be more potent in osteodifferentiation of the mesenchymal cells than combinations of titanium and BMP-7 in absence of PEA coatings. This work represents a novel strategy to improve the biological activity of titanium implants with BMP-7.

Synthesis of New Opioid Analgesic Peptide Analogues to Enkephalin (Leucine- and Methionine-Enkephalin)
...Show More Authors

A small number of researches were done in the design and synthesis of enkephalin analogues that are able to resist degradation effect of proteolytic enzymes with good bioavailability and half-lives.Through studying structure activity relationships we tried to incorporate phthalyl group, tryptophan and lysine amino acids in different positions in the basic backbone structure of the naturally occurring opioid Leu5- and Met5- enkephalin, in the hope that such insertion of these amino acids could induce interesting addition in the biological activity of these analogues with enhancement of their bioavailability, in addition to decrease side effects as addiction liability.

These synthesized peptides are:

    Using Geometric Properties to Evaluate Possible Integration of Authoritative and Volunteered Geographic Information
    ...Show More Authors

    The assessment of data quality from different sources can be considered as a key challenge in supporting effective geospatial data integration and promoting collaboration in mapping projects. This paper presents a methodology for assessing positional and shape quality for authoritative large-scale data, such as Ordnance Survey (OS) UK data and General Directorate for Survey (GDS) Iraq data, and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, with the intention of assessing possible integration. It is based on the measurement of discrepancies among the datasets, addressing positional accuracy and shape fidelity, using standard procedures and also directional statistics. Line feature comparison has been und

    The interior spaces represent a true reflection of the concepts and values ​​of humanity and requirements; were interested in current research ongoing changes that have occurred in those human values ​​and requirements over time, even pat each time warp its values ​​and its own requirements. Those changes, which receive Bdilalha the spaces linked by a renewal which guarantees the interior design of the spaces of sustainability and bio-coordinated. Launched search from an initial perception that those associated with the changes of the spaces through time that have not been subject to examination and supervision, they will constitute a continuing threat of losing the ties with the past under the pretext of modernization and mo

    The Expression of Epstein-Barr virus in Breast cancer in relation to age
    ...Show More Authors

    Background: Breast cancer is the most common
    malignancy affecting females worldwide. The association
    of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with this cancer is a longstanding
    interest to this field.
    Aim: to investigate the presence of EBV in breast tumor
    tissue in relation to age.
    Patients and Methods: Paraffin-embedded tissue blocks
    from 45 female patients with breast tumors (ranged in age
    from 28 to 85 years) were retrieved. The cases were
    grouped into two categories: group (A): included 30 cases
    with breast carcinoma and group (B): included 15 cases
    with benign breast diseases as a control group .The
    expression of EBV protein was examined
    immunohistochemically.
    Results: Twelve (40%) of the 30 breast canc

    Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Axial Load and Cyclic Lateral Load
    ...Show More Authors

    Columns subjected to pure axial load rarely exist in practice. Reinforced concrete columns are usually subjected to combination of axial and lateral actions and  deformations, caused by  spatially‐complex loading patterns as during earthquakes causes lateral deflection that in turn affects the horizontal stiffness. In this study, a numerical model was developed in threedimensional nonlinear finite element and then validated against experimental results reported in the literatures,
    to investigate the behavior of conventionally RC columns subjected to axial load and  . lateral reversal cyclic loading. To achieve this goal, numerical analysis was conducted by using finite element program ABAQUS/Explicit. The variables co

    A Study of Person Deixis in J. M. Singe's Riders to the Sea
    ...Show More Authors

    This study deals with an important area in the field of linguistics, namely person deixis.
    The study aims at: (1) Describing the notion of deixis, its importance, and its place in the field
    of linguistics, (2) Presenting a detailed illustration of person deixis, and (3) Conducting an
    analysis of person deixis in one of Synge‟s plays Riders to The Sea according to Levinson‟s
    model. The most important aim of these three is the third one (the analysis). To achieve this
    aim, the researcher depends on Levinson‟s (1983) descriptive approach. According to the
    descriptive approach of deixis, the category of person deixis can be defined as the encoding of
    the participant roles in the speech situation. This encoding is r

    The Use of Biorthogonal Wavelet, 2D Polynomial and Quadtree to Compress Color Images
    ...Show More Authors

    In this paper, a compression system with high synthetic architect is introduced, it is based on wavelet transform, polynomial representation and quadtree coding. The bio-orthogonal (tap 9/7) wavelet transform is used to decompose the image signal, and 2D polynomial representation is utilized to prune the existing high scale variation of image signal. Quantization with quadtree coding are followed by shift coding are applied to compress the detail band and the residue part of approximation subband. The test results indicate that the introduced system is simple and fast and it leads to better compression gain in comparison with the case of using first order polynomial approximation.
