Background and Objectives: Uterine smooth muscle tumors are the most common human neoplasm .They are divided clinically as benign and malignant but there is  another group of  lesions which is difficult to place in these two categories ,so-called smooth  muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) and differentiation  of these tumors on the basis of H&E staining is impossible . Th...

The present article demostrates the implementation of a psycholinguistic model of second language learners' interlanguage in an Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) system for studying second language acquisition. We have focused our work on the common interlanguage structures of students at the same language level. The Interlanguage Level Model (ILM) is made up of these stru...

A new adaptive lter algorithm has been developed that combines the beneets of the Least Mean Square (LMS) and Least Mean Fourth (LMF) methods. This algorithm , called LMS/F, outperforms the standard LMS algorithm judging either constant convergence rate or constant misadjustment. While LMF outperforms LMS for certain noise prooles, its stability cannot be guaranteed for known input signals even...

Uterine sarcoma is a rare tumor of mesodermal origin, accounting for 2-6% of uterine malignancies. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) has been reported in only 1% of all uterine malignancies and is regarded as the most common primary uterine sarcoma. Herein, we present a case of LMS with unusual macroscopic features. The patient was a 61-year-old woman with LMS, which consisted of a large cystic mass (88×136...

The EUME project is intended to develop an Intelligent Learning Management System (ILMS) with the aim to improve the quality of traditional teaching strategies as well as to facilitate the implementation of new learning methodologies. At this project stage, we have developed a knowledge model of the educational domain, designed a component-based software architecture, and implemented the second...

In this paper, echo cancellation is done using genetic algorithm (GA). The genetic algorithm is implemented by two kinds of crossovers; heuristic and microbial. A new procedure is proposed to estimate the coefficients of adaptive filters used in echo cancellation with combination of the GA with Least-Mean-Square (LMS) method. The results are compared for various values of LMS step size and diff...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Hysterectomy for presumed leiomyomata is 1 of the most common surgical procedures performed in nonpregnant women in the United States. Laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) with morcellation is an appealing alternative to abdominal hysterectomy (AH) but may result in dissemination of malignant cells and worse outcomes in the setting of an occult leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We sought to evalu...
