Hadoop MapReduce framework is an important distributed processing model for large-scale data intensive applications. The current Hadoop and the existing Hadoop distributed file system’s rack-aware data placement strategy in MapReduce in the homogeneous Hadoop cluster assume that each node in a cluster has the same computing capacity and a same workload is assigned to each node. Default Hadoop d...

Conservation and propagation of species using biotechnologic tools-such as plant tissue culture-are relevant when natural propagation is hampered for various reasons. In vitro techniques allow mass multiplication and propagation under pathogen-free conditions but also override dependence on season for availability of plant material. Moreover, in vitro genetic manipulation of a species, invariab...

In earlier papers (Thimann and Skoog, 1933, 1934) it was shown that the inhibition of lateral buds by the terminal bud in Vicia Faba is due to the production of relatively large quantities of growth hormone by the latter. This substance passes basipetally through the stem, thus reaching the lateral buds, where it inhibits their growth. In these experiments it was shown that a suitable concentra...

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) have unique properties that distinguished them from other wireless networks and have special challenges. Not-chargeable, not-changeable and limited power supplies of sensor nodes is the most important challenge of this networks, and if the power supply of node expired, a part of data maybe lost. Because of the importance of covers in wireless sensors, in this work ...

in recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. on-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. most proposed on-demand routing protocols are built and relied on single route for each data session. whenever there is a link disconnection on the active ro...

lymphatic filariasis is endemic to tropical countries and is the most common cause of acquired lymphedema in the world. wuchereria bancrofti is the main etiological agent responsible. while the presentation of filariasis in limbs is common, isolated presentation as a single enlarged lymph node in the neck is very rare. we describe a 48-year-old indian woman, who presented with a hard lymph node...

lymph node status remains an important prognostic indicator for survival in breast cancer. sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard method of assessment of clinically node negative breast cancers. economic implications as well as patient related factors have lead to the development a number of intra-operative techniques. review of the emerging trends in the last 4 years show that alth...

abstract castleman disease or giant node hyperplasia is a rare disorder of the lymphoid tissue most often involving the mediastinal lymph nodes. we report a case of localized retroperitoneal hyaline-vascular type of castleman disease. a 35-year old woman presented with mild epigastric pain with radiation to the back. amild anemia was the only abnormal associated finding. abdominal ultrasound an...

background: the presence of metastatic lymph nodes is the most important prognostic factor for gastric carcinoma; however, the optimal system for the accurate staging of lymph node metastasis for patients with gastric cancer remains controversial. this study was designed to compare five systems in relation to the n classification of gastric carcinoma. materials and methods: this multicentric hi...

We study the limiting distribution of the degree of a given node in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, a generalized random recursive tree, which is introduced by Devroye et. al (2011). In a scaled attachment random recursive tree, every node $i$ is attached to the node labeled $lfloor iX_i floor$ where $X_0$, $ldots$ , $X_n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, with support in [0,...
