lnflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare, non-neoplastic inflammatory process. It is most commonly occurs in the orbit, but extension into brain parenchyma is uncommon. In a confirmed case of IPT, most cases show good improvement with steroid theraphy. A 50-year-old man with progressive left-eye visual disturbance and mass lesion was admitted in a hospital. A left orbital mass biopsy revealed w...

Triazines comprise an important pollutant class owing to continued use in certain countries, and owing to strong environmental persistence that leads to problems even in countries like Sweden where the use of triazines has been prohibited for some years. We investigated mass-selective detection for analysis of triazines. More specifically, we studied the background reduction and sensitivity enh...

tumors. They account for less than 0.5% of all the masses found in the mediastinum (1, 2). Over 90% of these tumors are cavernous or capillary hemangiomas. Venous hemangiomas in the mediastinum are extremely rare (1, 2). The CT findings of hemangiomas that have been reported in the world literature are well-marginated solid masses in the mediastinum with a central collection of contrast materia...

Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast (NECB) is a very rare type of invasive breast carcinoma. Most NECBs appear on breast imaging as solid masses of varied shapes and margins, and have worse clinical outcomes than does invasive ductal carcinoma, not otherwise specified. However, there have been no reports to date regarding NECB with features of inflammatory breast carcinoma. Here, we ...

In order to quantitatively characterize the enhancement of hole mobility of strained silicon under different stress intensity conditions, changes of hole effective mass should be studied. In the paper, strained silicon under in-plane biaxially tensile strain based on (0 0 1) substrate and longitudinal uniaxially compressive strain along h1 1 0i are investigated thoroughly. By solving the Hamilt...

Results on transverse mass spectra of neutral pions measured at central rapidity are presented for impact parameter selected 158·A GeV Pb + Pb, and Pb + Nb collisions. The distributions cover the range 0.5 GeV/c ≤ mT − m0 ≤ 4 GeV/c . The change of the spectral shape with centrality is studied in detail. In going from peripheral to medium central collisions there is a nuclear enhancement increas...

Results on transverse mass spectra of neutral pions measured at central rapidity are presented for impact parameter selected 158·A GeV Pb + Pb, and Pb + Nb collisions. The distributions cover the range 0.5 GeV/c ≤ mT − m0 ≤ 4GeV/c . The change of the spectral shape and the multiplicity with centrality is studied in detail. In going from p+p to semi-peripheral Pb+Pb collisions there is a nuclear...

In the present paper, the flow and heat transfer of two types of nanofluids, namely, silver-water and silicon dioxide-water, were theoretically analyzed over an isothermal continues stretching sheet. To this purpose, the governing partial differential equations were converted to a set of nonlinear differential equations using similarity transforms and were then analytically solved. It was found...

Context. In the standard formulation of the disc instability model for soft X-ray transient and dwarf nova outbursts, the mass transfer rate from the secondary is assumed to be constant. This may seem natural since the L 1 point remains shielded from the accretion luminosity by the accretion disc. However an indirect heating could take place and could lead to an enhancement of the mass transfer...
