Modulation of type beta transforming growth factor activity in bone cultures by osteotropic hormones.

abstract：:When two vortices cross, each of them breaks into two parts and exchanges part of itself for part of the other. This process, called vortex reconnection, occurs in classical and superfluids, and in magnetized plasmas and superconductors. We present the first experimental observations of reconnection between quantized ...
