With the popularity of BitTorrent-like P2P applications, improving its performance has been an active research area. Super-seeding, a special upload policy for the initial seeder, improves the efficiency in producing multiple seeds and reduces the uploading bytes of content initiators, thus being highly expected as a promising solution for improving downloading performance while decreasing uplo...

the aim of this research was determination of nutritive value of cressa cretica with gas test method, in vivo digestibility and degradability with nylon bag method in three phenological stages. the amount of crude protein decreased significantly in seeding stage. but the amount of ndf and adf increased in seeding stage. the degradability of dry matter and rapid and slowly degradable fractions d...

This research studies the optimal seeding of a network of consumers who are potential adopters of a technology. This problem has a wide range of applications which include launching a network good, inducing network-based marketing, igniting collaboration in organizations, and stimulating R&D with local spillovers. I have two main results so far. The first result shows that when a firm is unawar...

Neoplastic seeding may arise after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A low risk of seeding after RFA (0-1.1%) has been reported, which may rise up to 2.5% if ablation followed diagnostic biopsy. Needle track seeding presents with one or multiple rounded nodules along the needle track located within the peritoneum, along the abdominal muscles, which were penetrate...

UNLABELLED Objective Clival chordomas are slow-growing aggressive tumors that originate from the extra-axial remnants of the notochord. Current management of these tumors use surgical resection combined with radiation therapy. Given the location and invasive nature of these tumors, complete resection is difficult. A variety of both open and endoscopic therapeutic approaches have evolved and com...
