comNode classification within Membrane Residue Curves (M-RCMs) currently hinges on Lyapunov’s Theorem and therefore the computation of mathematically complex eigenvalues. This paper presents an alternative criterion for the classification of nodes within M-RCMs based on the total membrane flux at node compositions. This paper demonstrates that for a system exhibiting simple permeation behaviour...

Pipelines that operate on buffers often work well to mitigate the high latency inherent in interprocessor communication and in accessing data on disk. Running a single pipeline on each node works well when each pipeline stage consumes and produces data at the same rate. If a stage might consume data faster or slower than it produces data, a single pipeline becomes unwieldy. We describe how we h...

As we know breast cancer is the second death reason in Iran. One step of treatment process is radiotherapy, which needs careful consideration of contouring and therapeutic techniques Lung, thyroid, spinal cord, trachea and humerus are sensitive organs in breast cancer radiation therapy.  The most clinical studies recommended two ways for delivering 95 percent of dose to supraclavicular and ...

introduction: many radiotracers have been used for sentinel node mapping with acceptable results. the main difference between these radiotracers is the particle size. in the current study, we reported defective labeling of tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid which resulted in large particle size. methods: tc-99m-antimony sulfide colloid was used for axillary sentinel node mapping of 45 breast cance...

In the recent years the aim of drug therapy in depression was redefined and specified. According to this, the main goal of antidepressant treatment goes beyond achieving some degree of response, or full response in the sense of 50% reduction of a depression score, but to remission in the global sense as well as on a more differentiated level, which means almost complete relief of depressive sym...

Among structured Peer-to-Peer systems, Chord has a general popularity due to its salient features like simplicity, high scalability, small path length with respect to network size, and flexibility on node join and departure. However, Chord doesn’t take into account the topology of underlying physical network when a new node is being added to the system, thus resulting in high routing late...

Consider a communication network in which certain source nodes multicast information to other nodes on the network in the multihop fashion where every node can pass on any of its received data to others. We are interested in how fast each node can receive the complete information, or equivalently, what the information rate arriving at each node is. Allowing a node to encode its received data be...
