telemedicine has changed the way of health care. it is an indispensable tool in the hands of doctors to accelerate and facilitate the process of data interchange. wireless networks consist of small nodes with communications capabilities. development of wireless networks of telemedicine system is highly demanded since these networks promise a wide range of potential applications. in this paper t...

background: axillary nodal spread is an established prognostic factor in breast cancer. axillary nodal dissection and subsequent pathological examination is considered the gold standard technique of assessing the axilla for metastatic disease. a minimum of ten level i axillary nodes are required to be examined before an axillary specimen can be reliably labeled as disease free. this recommendat...

Large scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as the latest trend in revolutionizing the paradigm of collecting and processing data in diverse environments. Its advancement is fueled by development of tiny low cost sensor nodes which are capable of sensing, processing and transmitting data. Due to the small size of sensor nodes there are various resource constraints. It is the severe...

-Effective load balancing has been a demanding task in MANET due to their dynamic and un-predictable nature and topology change. Nodes in MANETs greatly differ with each other in terms of communication and processing power. For effective working of MANET multiple routing backbones are identified from source to destination using intermediate nodes that have better communication and processing ca...

The presence of increased memory and computational power in imaging sensor networks attract researchers to exploit image processing algorithms on distributed memory and computational power. In this paper, a typical perimeter is investigated with a number of sensors placed to form an image sensor network for the purpose of content based distributed image search. Image search algorithm is used to...

castleman disease (cd) is a rare, lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain etiology. we are reporting on two cases of castleman disease. both patients were female. this disease can be found wherever lymph nodes are present. we have reported two unusual cases of castleman disease. a 29- year old woman was referred for evaluation because of a cervical lymph node, weight loss and night sweats. th...

871 mesenteric lymph nodes taken from 110 native cattle from urmia slaughter-house with differentages were examined for linguatula serrata infection. the lymph nodes were studied based on their colourand consistency. 44% of the cattle were found positive for l. serrata infection. the number of parasitesisolated from each infected lymph node varied from 1 to 69 with a mean of 5.48. there were no...

Consider a wireless relay network, where all nodes except the source and destination act as relays. The problem of evaluating the capacity for a source-destination pair in this network and determining the corresponding optimal transmission strategy have attracted considerable research attention recently. However, even for a single relay, complete solutions are still unknown. A popular method to...

The benefit of using indexes for processing coqjunctive queries in a database system is well known. The use of indexes in distributed database systems is equally justified. In a distributed database environment a relation may be horizontally partitioned across the nodes of the system and indexes may be created for the fragment of the relation that resides at each node. However, as an alternativ...

Digital's AlphaServer multiprocessor systems are high-performance servers that combine multiprocessing technology with PC-style I/O subsystems. The system architecture allows four processing nodes, four memory nodes (up to a maximum of 2 GB), and two I/O nodes. All nodes communicate through a system bus. The system bus was designed to support multiple generations of Alpha processor technology. ...
