Stereology of Extremes; Size of Spheroids
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The prediction of size extremes in Wicksell’s corpuscle problem with oblate spheroids is considered. Three-dimensional particles are represented by their planar sections (profiles) and the problem is to predict their extremal size under the assumption of a constant shape factor. The stability of the domain of attraction of the size extremes is proved under the tail equivalence condition. A simple procedure is proposed of evaluating the normalizing constants from the tail behaviour of appropriate distribution functions and its results are employed for the estimation of the spheroid size. Examples covering families of Gamma, Pareto and Weibull distributions are provided. A short discussion of maximum likelihood estimators of the normalizing constants is also included.

Evaluation of combination effects of 2- methoxyestradiol and methoxyamine on IUdRinduced radiosensitization in glioma spheroids
Background: Glioblastoma is the most common and most malignant cancer of central nervous system. Targeted radiotherapy is an effective method toward its treatment. Iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) is a halogenated thymidine analogue known to be effective as a radiosensitizer in human cancer therapy. In this study we have evaluated the combination effects of 2-Methoxyestradiol, an inhibitor of ...

Background & Aim: In vitro experiments and in vivo studies have revealed that radiosensitizers in radiation therapy may serve as powerful tools in the treatment of glioma cancers. Many cell lines, under some specific conditions will aggregate and grow to form multicellular structures called spheroid. Thses spheroids resemble in vivo tumor models in several aspects. Therefore studying growth...

Background: Several cell lines when cultured under proper condition can form three dimensional structures called multicellular tumor spheroids. Tumor spheroids are valuable in vitro models for studying physical and biological behavior of real tumors. A number of previous studies using a variety of techniques have shown no relationship between radiosensitivity and DNA strand breaks in monolayer ...
متن کاملTunable Plasmonic Nanoparticles Based on Prolate Spheroids
Metallic nanoparticles can exhibit very large optical extinction in the visible spectrum due to localized surface plasmon resonance. Spherical plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years due to the fact that the scattering response of spheres can be analytically evaluated using Mie theory. However a major disadvantage of metallic spherical nanoparticles is ...
