psa is a 33-kda serine protease that is produced predominantly by prostate epithelium. however, it has been shown that about 30-40% of female breast tumors produce psa and its production is associated with the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors. we have now developed a new tissue culture system to study psa production in breast cancer and its association with prognostic factors suc...

This paper analyzes a certain class of combinatorial board games that includes Ayo, Tchoukaillon and Modular N–queen. We refine the existing results by providing simple and intuitive proofs using abstract combinatorics, and also reveal some interesting game positions.
