fine needle aspiration (fna) technique is a well-known procedure in the diagnosis of various organ diseases. this study was conducted to evaluate the utility of fna in the dianosis of neck masses. fine needle aspiration was performed upon 123 patients with palpable nonthyroidal lesions at neck during a five-year period. in ten cases, fna findings were nondiagnostic. from the reminder 113 patien...

The fine structure of a threefold directed triple system is the vector where c. is the number of " directed triples appearing precisely -L times in the system. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a vector to be the fine structure of a threefold directed triple system.

Leadership Studies is a new interdisciplinary field of Organization Studies that is growing at a steady rate all over the world. Leadership studies are seen as a branch of Management and Organization Sciences despite its philosophical roots that can be traced back to Plato’s philosophical writings such as Laws, Politics, or The Republic. Starting from Burns’ seminal book, Leadership (1978), and...

Root respiration uses a significant proportion of photosynthetically fixed carbon (C) and is a globally important source of C liberated from soils. Mangroves, which are an important and productive forest resource in many tropical and subtropical countries, sustain a high ratio of root to shoot biomass which may indicate that root respiration is a particularly important component in mangrove for...

Abstract We encountered a case of diffuse thyroid swelling after fine needle aspiration (dTSaFNA) cytology, and monitored the by ultrasonography. The scan findings are reported. A 57-year-old female visited our hospital complaining in her anterior neck. She had history metal allergy was not taking any medications. Because solid cystic tumor detected left lobe, we decided to perform fine-needle ...

In this paper, we study parallel branch and bound on fine grained hypercube multiprocessors. Each processor in a fine grained system has only a very small amount of memory available, Therefore, current parallel branch and bound methods for coarse grained systems (s 1000 nodes) can not be applied, since all these methods assume that every processor stores the path from the node it is currently p...
