A Quadruple Rainbow

JPEG : the quadruple object

The thesis, together with its practice-research works, presents an objectoriented perspective on the JPEG standard. Using the object-oriented philosophy of Graham Harman as a theoretical and also practical starting point, the thesis looks to provide an account of the JPEG digital object and its enfolding within the governmental scopic regime. The thesis looks to move beyond accounts of digital ...

Quadruple primary urogenital cancers – A case report

INTRODUCTION Urogenital cancers are not an uncommon occurrence in daily practice. Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer in men, kidney cancer accounts for 2.4% of all cancers and bladder cancers represent 3.1% of cancers in both men and women [1]. However, the cases of a simultaneous development of all three cancers, including one with a neuroendocrine component, are very few and f...

A surgical case of quadruple lung cancer.

The patient was a 50-year-old male psychiatrist with a history of smoking 3 packs of cigarettes per day for 30 years. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a nodular shadow in the left S6 segment in April 2002, for which thoracoscopic partial resection of the lung was performed. Because adenocarcinoma was diagnosed by intraoperative frozen sectioning, a left lower lobectomy and lymph node disse...

Affine - invariant quadruple systems

Let t, v, k, λ be positive integers satisfying v > k > t. A t-(v, k, λ) design is an ordered pair (V,B), where V is a finite set of v points, B is a collection of k-subsets of V , say blocks, such that every t-subset of V occurs in exactly λ blocks in B. In what follows we simply write t-designs. A 3-(v, 4, 1) design is called a Steiner quadruple system and denoted by SQS(v). It is known that a...
