The primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to a group of highly malignant tumors and is composed of small round cells of a neuroectodermal origin. Categorized in the same tumor family as Ewing sarcoma, the PNET is most likely to occur in bones and soft tissues. However, a small number of PNET cases arising in the pelvis have been reported as well. We present three cases of pelvic PNET: ...

We aim to construct higher order tau-leaping methods for numerically simulating stochastic chemical kinetic systems in this paper. By adding a random correction to the primitive tau-leaping scheme in each time step, we greatly improve the accuracy of the tau-leaping approximations. This gain in accuracy actually comes from the reduction in the local truncation error of the scheme in the order o...

I examine a class of utility maximization problems with a not necessarily lawinvariant utility, and with a not necessarily law-invariant risk measure constraint. The objective function is an integral of some function U with respect to some probability measure P , and the constraint set contains some risk measure constraint which is not necessarily P -law-invariant. This introduces some heteroge...

Primitive  neuroectodermal  tumor  (PNET)  of  kidney  is  an  extremely  rare  renal  neoplasm  with only about fifty reported cases in literature.  Presumably,of neural crest origin, these tumors behave  aggressively  and  carry  a  poor prognosis.  We  report  a  case  of  22-year  old  female  patient complaining of left loin pain with recurrent hematuria for last 3 months. On clinical ex...
