A Hierarchical Probability Model of Colon Cancer

A Hierarchical Probability Model of Colon Cancer

We consider a model of fixed size N = 2 l in which there are l generations of daughter cells and a stem cell. In each generation i there are 2 i−1 daughter cells. At each integral time unit the cells split so that the stem cell splits into a stem cell and generation 1 daughter cell and the generation i daughter cells become two cells of generation i + 1. The last generation is removed from the ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Mammographic mass detection with a hierarchical image probability (HIP) model

We formulate a model for probability distributions on image spaces. We show that any distribution of images can be factored exactly into conditional distributions of feature vectors at one resolution (pyramid level) conditioned on the image information at lower resolutions. We would like to factor this over positions in the pyramid levels to make it tractable, but such factoring may miss long-r...

The effect of Continuous Care Model on self-care in patients with colon cancer

Introduction: Colon cancer and its treatments have several signs and symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, lethargy, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, anemia, and eating disorders that self-care is essential to control in these patients. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the continuous care model on self-care in patients with colon cancer. Methods: The present study was an experi...
