Radiation-sterilization at 25 and 35 kGy of freeze-dried human amniotic membranes caused degradative effects in the biologic dressing. The decrease in pH and increase in UV absorption showed that radiation may have caused possible radiolytic changes in this biomaterial. Total nitrogen content, tensile strength, and [H3]water-retention capacity of the irradiated membranes remained invariable. Molecular topography analysis by atomic force microscopy showed radiation-induced defrayment of the collagen fibers, the major structural protein in amnion.

The use of various types of technologies in the classroom and examinations is growing rapidly and is strongly influencing teaching and learning practices. In this paper, we will look at particular situations on how various technologies such as numerically capable calculators, graphics calculators, and technological tools that are CAS enabled or have CAS with Dynamic Geometry, impact students' learning. We also discuss briefly the educational opportunities that are made available by the emergence of graphics calculators with capabilities of handling electronic learning activities, such as Casio’s Class Pad (see [1]) and Casio’s 9860 graphics calculator.
