Introduction: Several radiotracers are being used for sentinel node mapping in patients with breast cancer. In the current study, we reported our experience with 99m-Tc Phytate for sentinel node mapping in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Methods: All breast cancer patients who underwent sentinel node mapping using 99m-Tc Phytate were included. All patients received intradermal peri-are...

The purpose of this paper is to study the conditioning of complex Vandermonde matrices, in reference to applications such as superresolution and the problem of recovering missing samples in band-limited signals. The results include bounds for the singular values of Vandermonde matrices whose nodes are complex numbers on the unit circle. It is shown that, under certain conditions, such matrices ...

With increasing complexity of sensor network applications, the trade-off between node-local processing and transmission of data to a central node for handling becomes more significant. For distributed structural health monitoring applications (SHM), we consider different realization choices of the underlying wireless sensor network and implement a key part of the application (a high-order filte...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been proving to be a suitable application domain for wireless sensor networks, whose techniques attempt to autonomously evaluate the integrity of structures, occasionally aiming at detecting and localizing damage. In this paper, we propose a localized algorithm supported by multilevel information fusion techniques to enable detection, localization and exte...

to investigate the effects of drought stress and different combinations of animal manure with super absorbent polymer on yield and yield components of corn, a split plots design was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in fars agricultural research center in 2007. irrigation treatments were assigned as the main factor in three levels: 70, 105 and 140 mm evap...

in this study 121 prescapular, prefemoral and popliteal lymph node of male healthy camel from mashhad abattoir were collected. after collecting of specimens factors such as: length, width, thickness, weight, volume and density of each lymph node were measured by caliper device. all factors were analyzed and compared using excel program. it was revealed that, normal dimensions of right prescapul...

In order to guarantee both the efficiency and robustness in the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network, the paper designs a novel Super-node Overlay Based on Information Exchange called SOBIE. Differing from current structured and unstructured, or meshed and tree-like P2P overlay, the SOBIE is a whole new structure to improve the efficiency of searching in the P2P network. The main contributions are 1) to ...
