Memory of Beheram
Looking out across Karachi from the palace veranda you might be forgiven for thinking that you were in Tenerife. There were palm trees. Floral-painted buses forcing their way through the crowd. Street vendors selling savoury fritters from wicker baskets. Others walked like chain-men with buckets and tin cups swinging by their side as they sold water to the thirsty. Everywhere the 'toot-toot' of motor vehicles. There was a vibrancy in this young country, which had achieved independence scarcely five years before.During school holidays, when I was not attending the posh Mama Parsi High School, I might be travelling in a Jeep on one of Papa's many business trips to Afghanistan or India. But for the spoiled favourite daughter of a rich Persian Zoroastrian family, having everything was not enough. I had to throw it all away.
Transcending The Pearly Whites: Interesting Life Journeys Of Dental Surgeons
The Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore, was founded in 1929 and celebrated its 95th anniversary in 2024. Over the decades, many successful and illustrious dental surgeons have emerged from its halls. These alumni exemplify the quality of the faculty's dental education, research, and service.The editorial team approached and invited a diverse group of graduates from various cohorts to share their life stories and journeys in dentistry — the ups and downs, trials and tribulations they faced, and how they overcame challenges, adapted, and ultimately triumphed.Life, of course, is about more than just dentistry.

Clash of Democracies and Autocracies Can Democracies Be Saved?
This is a short history of evolution of governance, focused on the American and Swiss democracies. Plato in his dialogues argued that by investigating what is behind the idea of democracy, we may find its true form and function. And thus, by discovering its true form and function, we could know how best democracy could become a well-functioning reality. By such inquiry, the author tries to discover what was the vision of American forefathers for the American democracy when the American people were incorporated as one indivisible nation under God defined by the United States Constitution in 1787. Today, the clash of democracies and autocracies is being played out in Ukraine as its bloodbath being watched daily around the world. This must be stopped by every means available and by every person who prefers democracy. The pen, after all, was victorious against the most powerful empire of its day. Why would it not work again in twenty- first century's lightning speed of the enlightening Digital Age?
Medical Coatings and Deposition Technologies
Medical Coatings and Deposition Technologies is an important new addition to the libraries of medical device designers and manufacturers. Coatings enable the properties of the surface of a device to be controlled independently from the underlying bulk properties; they are often critical to the performance of the device and their use is rapidly growing. This book provides an introduction to many of the most important types of coatings used on modern medical devices as well as descriptions of the techniques by which they are applied and methods for testing their efficacy. Developers of new medical devices and those responsible for producing them will find it an important reference when decidin...

Soon, he visits her on a regular basis and she is looking forward to their nightly play-dates at the store. As their bond strengthens, he becomes like the son she had always dreamed of—except, he alread...
Osteopontin
Osteopontin is a GRGDS-containing phosphoprotein secreted by most epithelial cells, many cancer cells, and stimulated or activated cells of various types including smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and macrophages. It is a ligand for the avb3 integrin, promoting cell adhesion and triggering a signal transduction pathway that can influence gene expression. Binding multiple Ca++ ions, osteopontin is involved in the formation and remodelling of mineralised tissues and Ca++ homeostasis; it has also been implicated in host defence mechanisms.
