In Vitro Effects of Strontium on Proliferation and Osteoinduction of Human Preadipocytes by V. Nardone, R. Zonefrati, C. Mavilia, C. Romagnoli, S. Ciuffi, S. Fabbri, G. Palmini, G. Galli, A. Tanini, M. L. Brandi

“…Development of tools to be used for in vivo bone tissue regeneration focuses on cellular models and differentiation processes. In searching for all the optimal sources, adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs or preadipocytes) are able to differentiate into osteoblasts with analogous characteristics to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, producing alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen, osteocalcin, and calcified nodules, mainly composed of hydroxyapatite (HA). …”

Effects of Climate Variability on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the Gojeb River Catchment, Omo-Gibe Basin, Ethiopia by Melku Dagnachew, Asfaw Kebede, Awdenegest Moges, Adane Abebe

“…The concurrent decrement and/or increment of annual NDVI and rainfall distributions both spatially and temporarily could be attributed to the significant positive correlation of the monthly (RNDVI-RF = 0.189, P≤0.001) and annual (RNDVI-RF = 0.637, P≤0.001) NDVI with rainfall in almost all portions of the catchment. In the GRC, a strongly negative decrement and strong positive increment of NDVI could be derived by human-induced and rainfall variability, respectively. …”

Stress-Softening and Residual Strain Effects in Suture Materials by Alex Elías-Zúñiga, Beatriz Montoya, Wendy Ortega-Lara, Eduardo Flores-Villalba, Ciro A. Rodríguez, Hector R. Siller, José A. Díaz-Elizondo, Oscar Martínez-Romero

“…This work focuses on the experimental characterization of suture material samples of MonoPlus, Monosyn, polyglycolic acid, polydioxanone 2–0, polydioxanone 4–0, poly(glycolide-co-epsilon-caprolactone), nylon, and polypropylene when subjected to cyclic loading and unloading conditions. It is found that all tested suture materials exhibit stress-softening and residual strain effects related to the microstructural material damage upon deformation from the natural, undistorted state of the virgin suture material. …”
