The Role Of Time Delays, Slow Processes And Chaos In Modulating The Cell-Cycle Clock by E.V. Presnov, Z. Agur

“…The complicated geometry of this strange attractor can be viewed as an unlimited reservoir of periods in the phase space.We hypothesize that the existence of such a reservoir is advantageous in morphogenetic tissues, such as the bone marrow, as it enables time- and site-specific selection of the optimal cell-cycle period for any specific micro- environment. …”

Development and Preliminary testing of a Mixing and Pelletizing Machine for Livestock Feeds Production by T.A. Ishola, R.A. Busari, O.S. Aboyeji

“…A mixing and pelletizing machine was designed and constructed to mix and pelletize pulverized feed materials (elephant grass, wheat bran, cassava peel, molasses, cassava starch, bone meal, maize stover and groundnut cake). The mixing unit consists of the mixing hopper and a mixing chamber that houses the mixer shaft and the mixing paddles while the pelletizingunit consists of the pelletizer hopper, pelletizing barrel, a shaft with worm thread and die perforation as outlet for the pellets. …”

First in Vivo SPECT Imaging of Mouse Femorotibial Cartilage Using Tc-NTP 15-5 by Elisabeth Miot-Noirault, Aurélien Vidal, Philippe Auzeloux, Jean-Claude Madelmont, Jean Maublant, Nicole Moins

“…Tomographic reconstruction of SPECT data was performed with a three-dimensional ordered subset expectation maximization algorithm, and slices were reconstructed in three axes. 99m Tc-NTP 15-5 rapidly accumulated in the joint, with a peak of radioactivity being reached from 5 minutes postinjection and maintained for at least 90 minutes. Given that bone and muscle did not show any accumulation of the tracer, highly contrasted joint imaging was obtained from 15 minutes postinjection. …”
