Based on immunomodulatory, osteogenic, and pro-angiogenic properties of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), this study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of ASC-derived cell therapies for clinical indications.Two autologous ASC-derived products were proposed to 17 patients who had not experienced any success with conventional therapies: (1) a sc

Texture classification algorithms using local binary pattern (LBP) and its variants usually can achieve attractive results.However, the selected rotation invariant structural patterns in numerous LBP variants are not absolutely continuous invariant to any rotation angle.To improve the classification effectiveness on this occasion, in this paper, we
