A method called "backprocessing", for subgross examination of sections, ranging between 50 microns and 1 mm in thickness using a dissecting microscope was developed. It requires either archival or current diagnostic breast tissue. In this study tissue is assumed to have been already embedded in paraffin wax for immediate diagnostic purposes. The advantages of backprocessing include the ability ...

Activity rules have emerged in recent years as an important aspect of practical auction design. The role of an activity rule in an iterative auction is to suppress strategic behavior by bidders and promote simple, continual, meaningful bidding and thus, price discovery. These rules find application in the design of iterative combinatorial auctions for real world scenarios, for example in spectr...

In this paper we have used one 2 variable Boolean function called Rule 6 to define another beautiful transformation named as Extended Rule-6. Using this function we have explored the algebraic beauties and its application to an efficient Round Robin Tournament (RRT) routine for 2 (k is any natural number) number of teams. At the end, we have thrown some light towards any number of teams of the ...

Yttrium-90 has been described as one of the best radionuclides for tumor therapy when chelated to tumor-associated antibodies. This evaluation is based on the superior properties of this radionuclide (suitable half-life, pure beta-ray emitter of intermediate energy, stable daughter, and suitable chemical properties) and because it is available as a radionuclide generator product by decay of its...

Based on our comprehensive observations in Beijing, we show that 80–90% of PM2.5 was formed via atmospheric reactions during haze days and over 65% the number concentration particles resulted from new particle formation.

UNLABELLED This investigation examined the accuracy of dose calibrator activity measurement of the beta-emitting radiopharmaceutical (90)Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan. METHODS Five different facilities independently measured (90)Y in a 10-mL syringe geometry with 30 dose calibrator models from 3 different manufacturers. The activities ranged from 81.4 MBq (2.2 mCi) to 1,406 MBq (38 mCi) over the vol...
