Breast cancer is often hormone responsive with growth or regression of tumors modulated by endocrine manipulations. Estrogens are known to control the growth of many mammary carcinomas in experimental animals, and humans. Knowledge of tumor response to hormones will greatly improve the ability to plan therapy for breast cancer patients. Chemoprevention of breast cancer has been mostly aimed at ...

We introduce a new type of meshes called 5-6-7 meshes. For many mesh processing tasks, lowor high-valence vertices are undesirable. At the same time, it is not always possible to achieve complete vertex valence regularity, i.e., to only have valence-6 vertices. A 56-7 mesh is a closed triangle mesh where each vertex has valence 5, 6, or 7. An intriguing question is whether it is always possible...

Many criticisms have been raised against historical materialism, both from outside of the Marxist tradition and from within. Some of these I engage in the sections from my book Reconstructing Marxism assigned for this session. What I will do here is briefly list five criticisms. Some of these can be countered fairly effectively, others are more serious. I will not discuss all of these in detail...

Although flow cytometric DNA ploidy has turned out as a significant predictor of survival in oral squamous cell carcinoma, little is known about the underlying karyotypic structure of gross aneuploidy. We therefore analysed one diploid and 9 aneuploid carcinomas with relative DNA contents between 1.1 and 2.8 by fluorescence in situ hybridization with topologic markers for the centromere (3cen) ...
