To evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of VEGF-C, CD34 and VEGFR-2 in cancer tissue of children diagnosed with stadium 4 neuroblastoma (NB) and correlate their presence with the survival rate of children diagnosed with that stage of the disease.

We report on defect formation in convection patterns of stadium-shaped and elliptical horizontal layers of fluid heated from below (Rayleigh-Bénard convection). The fluid was ethanol with a Prandtl number sigma=14.2. The outermost convection roll was forced to be parallel to the sidewall by a supplementary wall heater. The major- and minor-axis aspect ratios Gamma(i)=D(i)/2d, i=1, 2 (D(i) are t...
