BACKGROUND Although tissue microarray (TMA) studies of histopathologic material have been frequently reported in studies of malignant diseases, the question of sample size (i.e., the diameter and the number of tissue cylinders investigated) has been rarely discussed. This study addresses the methodologic question of sample size in a variety of tumor types. MATERIAL AND METHODS Material from 2...

This study aimed develop a small-scale demucilager machine evaluate its demucilaging capacity, efficiency, product recovery, damaged parchment coffee, electrical power consumption. also compare use of natural terms...

We report a new periodic structure of the cylinder packing. All the cylinders are congruent and the length of the cylinders are infinite and their directions are restricted to only six directions of 〈110〉. Each cylinder is fixed by cylinders of other directions, so that the whole structure sustains mechanical stability. The packing density equals to

OBJECTIVE To compare oxygen supply options for health facilities in the Gambia and develop a decision-making algorithm for choosing oxygen delivery systems in Africa and the rest of the developing world. METHODS Oxygen cylinders and concentrators were compared in terms of functionality and cost. Interviews with key informants using locally developed and adapted WHO instruments, operational as...

Electromagnetic wave scattering by many parallel infinite cylinders is studied asymptotically as a → 0. Here a is the radius of the cylinders. It is assumed that the points x̂m are distributed so that N (∆) = 1 a R ∆ N(x)dx[1+o(1)], whereN (∆) is the number of points x̂m = (xm1, xm2) in an arbitrary open subset of the plane xoy, the axes of the cylinders are passing through points x̂m, these axes ...

cylinders utilising elastic materials of cylindrical anisotropy. The formulation is based on linear three dimensional elasticity using an analytic form for the displacement field. A similar formulation has been used in the study of waves in plates and more recently, by the authors, in homogeneous cylinders. We have now developed the necessary formulas to apply it to cylinders in which the inhom...

We define and study the Magnus representation for homology cylinders generalizing the work of Kirk, Livingston and Wang [KLW] which treats the case of string links. Using this, we give a factorization formula of Alexander polynomials for three dimensional manifolds obtained by closing homology cylinders. We also show a relationship between the Gassner representation for string links and the Mag...

High heat transfer coefficients and large interfacial areas make bubble columns ideal for dehumidification. However, the effect of geometry on the heat transfer coefficients outside cooling coils in shallow bubble columns, such as those used in multi-stage bubble column dehumidifiers, is poorly understood. The generallyoverlooked entry and coalescing regions become important in shallow bubble c...

We investigate the structure of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid, sodium salt) copolymer in aqueous solutions. We offer detailed characterization of the micellar solutions by scattering techniques and show that they form hexagonal-packed cylinders. The micelles follow the swelling law expected for cylinders, upon addition of water, down to a concentration threshold below which the distance cylin...
