Recapitulating Endochondral Ossification for Bone Repair: From Development to Engineering Strategy
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes the developmental basis of endochondral ossification (ECO) and its applications in bone tissue engineering (BTE). It first outlines the key biological processes and signaling pathways underlying ECO, then discusses biomaterial‐based engineering strategies derived from these principles, and finally highlights future directions for

Measuring Inefficiency in Public Utilities: Does the Distribution Matter? [PDF]
In this paper we describe two of the most used distributions for the inefficiency term in a stochastic frontier: the Half Normal and the Exponential distributions.

EXTERNAL FACTOR AS A CAUSE OF INEFFICIENCY IN THE CONFLICT RESOLUTION OF DARFUR
RUDN Journal of World History, 2015 The article analyses the ethno-political conflict in Darfur (Sudan) that began in 2003 between the Arab armed militia of central Sudanese government known as Janjawid, and the two popular rebel groups of Darfur namely “Sudan People Liberation Army’’, and

The Confessions of an Inefficient Provider
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011 ![Figure][1] It has been said that nearly everyone has details in their lives that they are anxious to keep secret. These are issues, often involving guilt, that we carry inside hoping that they will never become known.

Technical inefficiency and public capital in US States: A stochastic frontier approach [PDF]
This paper estimates a translog stochastic frontier production function in the analysis of all 48 contiguous U.S. states in the period 1970-1983, to attempt to measure and explain changes in technical efficiency.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Highly water‐soluble dicationic bis(indolium) dyes have been prepared, showing excellent two‐photon absorption and light emission. Their fluorescence behavior discloses an unusual increasing blue shift with increasing solvent polarity, which, in parallel, is beneficial for enhanced detection in biological media.
