We reported a 35 year old breast cancer patient who was referred to our nuclear medicine department for sentinel node mapping. She was planned to undergo mastectomy and lymphatic mapping. A dose of Tc-99m Phytate was injection in the peri-areolar region in an intra-dermal fashion. Two hours post-injection no sentinel node was visible in the axilla. Due to a high liver uptake, inadvertent intra-...

We construct the analogue of the plactic monoid for the super semistandard Young tableaux over a signed alphabet. This is done by developing a generalization of the Knuth's relations. Moreover we get generalizations of Greene's invariants and Young-Pieri rule. A generalization of the symmetry theorem in the signed case is also obtained. Except for this last result, all the other results are pro...

Hadoop MapReduce framework is an important distributed processing model for large-scale data intensive applications. The current Hadoop and the existing Hadoop distributed file system’s rack-aware data placement strategy in MapReduce in the homogeneous Hadoop cluster assume that each node in a cluster has the same computing capacity and a same workload is assigned to each node. Default Hadoop d...

Super eciency data envelopment analysis(DEA) model can be used in ranking the performanceof ecient decision making units(DMUs). In DEA, non-extreme ecient unitshave a super eciency score one and the existing super eciency DEA models do notprovide a complete ranking about these units. In this paper, we will propose a methodfor ranking the performance of the extreme and non-extreme ecient units.

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) have unique properties that distinguished them from other wireless networks and have special challenges. Not-chargeable, not-changeable and limited power supplies of sensor nodes is the most important challenge of this networks, and if the power supply of node expired, a part of data maybe lost. Because of the importance of covers in wireless sensors, in this work ...

in recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. on-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. most proposed on-demand routing protocols are built and relied on single route for each data session. whenever there is a link disconnection on the active ro...

lymphatic filariasis is endemic to tropical countries and is the most common cause of acquired lymphedema in the world. wuchereria bancrofti is the main etiological agent responsible. while the presentation of filariasis in limbs is common, isolated presentation as a single enlarged lymph node in the neck is very rare. we describe a 48-year-old indian woman, who presented with a hard lymph node...
