We report an unusual case of a 70-year-old male with history of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and secondary paraspinal extramedullary hematopoiesis with a concurrent follicular lymphoma. The lesion presented as a thoracic paraspinal mass of 9 cm, extending longitudinally between T6 and T9 vertebral bodies. Incisional biopsy revealed that this mass included mature hematopoietic tissue compatible...

The chapter examines seamless learning, where the aim is to enable a continuous fl ow of meaning-making despite changes in the physical and social context. One way to achieve this is by inducing a fl ow state such that learners are so engaged in a mobile learning activity that they lose awareness of their surroundings. Mobile educational games may be one way to achieve such fl ow, but this is n...

An objective of the Atlantic Ocean Tropical tuna Tagging Programme (AOTTP) was to estimate Type-I (immediate) and Type-II (long-term) tag-shedding rates for tropical tunas from double-tagging experiments. Historical information on studies conducted in different parts world incorporated as prior distributions using a Bayesian approach new parameters. were respectively estimated at 0.007 0.084/yr...

Abstract Yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares is one of the major species caught in Fisheries Management Area (FMA) 573 Indian Ocean. Its production contributed to 35.83% total 2013. The study was conducted assess population dynamics this FMA 573, based on length-frequency data collected 2013-2017, and analysed using FiSAT II software. results obtained show length-weight relationship W = 0.000052 F...

Alten proved in [4] that the FEP holds for commutative residuated lattices that satisfy any knotted rule. A class of algebras K is said to have the FEP, if for every algebra A in K and every finite partial subalgebra B of A, there exists a finite algebra D in K such that B embeds into D. B is a finite partial subalgebra of A, if B is a finite subset of A and each n−ary operation f on A induces ...

Sheep from 4 Merino flocks, different in annual clean fleece production when grazed together, were given several nutritional treatments to compare the relationships of wool sulphur with nutrient intake, and with wool growth and plasma cystine. The sheep were selected from a finewool (Fl), a strong wool (S), and 2 medium-Peppin (MP6 and MPlO) flocks. The nutritional treatments varied intakes of ...

The reproductive biology of albacore tuna, Thunnus alalunga, in the South Pacific Ocean was investigated with samples collected during broad-scale sampling between 2006 and 2011. Histology was done in a single laboratory according to standard protocols and the data analysed using generalized linear mixed-effects models. The sex ratio of albacore was female biased for fish smaller than approxima...

To the Editor: The incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) lymphadenitis appears to be rising, likely because of improved diagnostic techniques. Mycobacterium avi-um-intracellulare is the most common etiologic agent of NTM lymphadenitis in children (1,2). Newer diagnostic methods, including DNA sequencing, have identifi ed cervical adenitis secondary to other slow-growing species (M. le...
