Executive Summary Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential can be a challenge in daily underwriting, as even clinicians are not in full agreement about the correct approach. This article sheds light on this tumor and highlights some of the key favorable factors when underwriting this condition. INTRODUCTION Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential, also known as borderline tumors of the ovary...

Experts' remarkable ability to recall meaningful domain-specific material is a classic result in cognitive psychology. Influential explanations for this ability have focused on the acquisition of high-level structures (e.g., schemata) or experts' capability to process information holistically. However, research on chess players suggests that experts maintain some reliable memory advantage over ...

The primary spermatocytes of Drosophila virilis have been shown to undergo an approximate 300-fold increase in volume and to possess an abundance of ribo somes in the cytoplasm (Ito 1960). These ribosomes are probably involved in the biosynthesis of the various materials needed for this tremendous volumetric increase. Olivieri and Olivieri (1965) have demonstrated that RNA synthesis occurs in s...

the biological, biochemical and immunological It has been proved lately that lysosomes are conditions that prepare the organic susceptibility involved in the mechanism of morphologic which facilitates or impairs the growth of changes, catabolic disorders , autolytic pro­ M. leprae. This paper is a partial attempt to cesses, necrosis , and infections and inflammatory unveil the pathogenic mechan...

A binary code with the same weight distribution as its dual code is called formally self-dual (f.s.d.). We only consider f.s.d. even codes (codes with only even weight codewords). We show that any formally self-dual even binary code C of length n not divisible by 8 is balanced. We show that the weight distribution of a balanced near-extremal f.s.d. even code of length a multiple of 8 is unique....

the narcotic drugs business find its abusement, nowadays, have been one of the most basic political, economic, health, cultural anti-family disorders in almost all over the world. despite all technologic anti cultural developments, it seems that the tendency and interest of producers, distributors and users of these drugs in all different age levels are growing up increasingly. unfortunately, t...

This paper introduces an approach to support different phases of the Even Swaps process by Preference Programming, which is a framework for modeling incomplete information within multiattribute value theory. In the approach, the Even Swaps process is carried out as usual, but in parallel the preferences of the decision maker are modeled with a Preference Programming model, which is also updated...

Despite 180 years of theory on magnetism, it appears that the practice of calculating forces on magnetic media is ambiguous, as illustrated by a recent article by Casperson [1]. Potentially troubling issues include: Which field B or H should be used? Should the total field be used, or only the external field? And if the latter, what is meant by “external”? Can/should effects of magnetization cu...
