Metastatic spread of the primary is still defined as the systemic stage of disease in treatment guidelines for various solid tumors. This definition is the rationale for systemic therapy. Interestingly and despite the concept of systemic involvement, surgical resection as a local treatment has proven to yield long-term outcomes in a subset of patients with limited metastatic disease, supporting...

252 Pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound present in contaminated soil at the Champion International Superfund site in Libby, Montana, a site presently undergoing land farming/preparedbed bioremediation, was evaluated with regard to incorporation into soil components (humification) in biologically active and poisoned treatments under varying environmental conditions including...

A sensor network is made up of a large number of sensors with limited energy. Sensors collect environmental data then send them to the sink. Energy efficiency and thereby increasing the lifetime of sensor networks is important. Direct transfer of the data from each node to the central station will increase energy consumption. Previous research has shown that the organization of nodes in cluster...

In this work, slip flow of helium gas has been studied in a three dimensional rectangular microchannel heat sink with 11 microchannel and 10 rectangular fins. Helium gas flow is considered ideal and incompressible. The finite volume method with using coupled algorithm is employed to carry out the computation. To validate the present work, comparison with numerical and experimental studies is do...

The Performance of electric vehicle IGPT Pin fin heat sink can be measured by the temperature field and the fluid pressure and other parameters. In order to improve the cooling effect of Pin fin heat sink, diameter, length and distance of the fin was optimized combination. The relationship between pressure drop of the water inlet, outlet and pin fin parameters was analyzed and calculated. It wa...

Understanding the role of stored non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in trees has been a long-term goal tree physiology research. A study published this issue strengthens possible NSC storage as key to mitigate drought effects.

Canola yield production is driven by the balance between source (leaves) and sink (pods seeds) activity during reproductive period of a crop. However, previous literature has not reported impact source-sink limitations under different nitrogen (N) supplies, its effect on seed filling. Therefore, objectives this study were to 1) explore manipulations filling main parameters: duration rate; 2) un...

Photosynthetic rate, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase activity, specific leaf weight, and leaf concentrations of carbohydrates, proteins, chlorophyll, and inorganic phosphate were determined periodically from midbloom until maturity in leaves of soybean plants (Glycine max L., var. Hodgson) from which reproductive and vegetative sinks had been removed 32 hours before measurement, or contin...
