Objectives. 1. To determine the presence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in rat embryo limb buds and adult rat knee joints. 2. To determine the pharmacological effects of recombinant human GDF-5 (rhGDF-5) on rat MSCs. 3. To determine the effect of rhG . . .

Higher education personnel face a myriad of tasks in the course of their professional duties. The timing and priority of these tasks are sometimes controlled by the staff themselves, but are often determined by campus or external constituents. Five en . . .

If one imagines the Gaussian primes to be lily pads in the pond of complex numbers, could a frog hop from the origin to infinity with jumps of bounded size? If the frog was confined to the real number line, the answer is no. Good heuristic arguments e . . .

The existence of cancer stem cells (CSC) postulates that tumors are organized as a cellular hierarchy and that tumor initiation, growth and cellular heterogeneity are driven by a subset of cells with stem cell like properties. The CSCs are endowed wit . . .

Bone graft substitutes are commonly used as an alloplastic source for complex bone repair. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have become an idealistic source for bone repair and regeneration due to their potential to differentiate into osteogenic p . . .

We examine properties of the Blum Medial Axis (BMA) to improve its effectiveness for automated shape understanding. The BMA has been used to represent objects since the 1960s. Here we examine measurements on the BMA including shape tubularity (ST), er . . .

The study of prime numbers has been an area of interest in mathematics since antiquity. One natural question one may ask is "How many primes are there less than or equal to some positive integer?" The first attempts to answering this were in the l . . .
