TOPIC: Disorders of the Pleura TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Solitary fibrous tumors pleura (SFTP) are rare that account for 5% all primary pleural tumors. SFTP originate from submesothelial mesenchymal layer primitive fibroblast or cells. Although most benign and can be cured by complete resection, malignant forms known to recur more frequently. CASE PRESENTATION: A...

Net CO2 assimilation (A), evapotranspiration (ET), and stomatal conductance (gs) were determined in two experiments for 14 and 18 raspberry (Rubus sp.) genotypes, respectively, grown in 4-L containers and exposed to 35 °C daytime temperatures 2 weeks and 4 weeks after placement in growth chambers. Measurements were taken on two successive leaves on the same primocane between the third and seven...

The blackberry industry needs a reliable method to ensure trueness-to-type of blackberry products. Microsatellite markers or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are ideal for cultivar fingerprinting, paternity testing and identity certification. Fingerprinting is valuable for variety identification, quality control and as a legal method to protect against infringement by competitors. The objectives ...

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) sits at the interface between sensory and motor areas and performs sensorimotor transformations. Current research is beginning' to unravel the details of this transformation process. The first part of this chapter focuses on planning signals found in the PPC. Experiments show that the dlOUght to reach can bc read out from the parietal reach region of monkeys ...

Introduction: Type B1 CAIs are a major type of refractory inclusion in CV3 carbonaceous chondrites. An intriguing feature of fassaite in many Type B1 inclusions is complex zoning within single crystals. Seen in backscattered electron images (BEIs), the zoning reflects irregular, sometimes patchy, distributions of TiO2 and correlated and anticorrelated oxides; this zoning is not synonymous with ...

The “Real Time” that keeps everyone updated on the developing present is an historical amalgam that posits itself as the general nature of time. Real Time works by automating data exchanges that are so rapid we experience them as evidence of a progressive and synchronized present moment that is in fact largely constructed by Real Time. This time dominates other temporalities by translating them...

In this paper a Bayesian approach for accelerated life testing will be considered. It will be assumed that the failure times at the different stress levels follow a Weibull distribution and exponential distribution, respectively. In accelerated life tests, the components are exposed to an environment that is more severe that the usual environment, such that the components will fail in a shorter...

In the July 15, 1990 issue, Meeker et all described the molecular events underlying the (5;14)(q31;q32) translocation that occurs in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) of B-lineage associated with eosinophilia. Observations of specific chromosomal translocations such as the t(5;14), which are associated with hematopoetic malignancies displaying a unique biologic or clinical characteristic, are im...

This case-control study assessed the effects of pesticide use on semen characteristics among rice farmers of Kienxuong District, Thaibinh Province, Vietnam. Semen samples of 1,036 rice farmers were obtained by manual masturbation and screened at Commune Health Stations. Of these, 156 abnormal semen samples were identified; 314 rice farmers with normal semen were recruited as controls. The semen...
