nowadays brain tumors remain as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and are often treatment refractory. the grading of brain tumor has an important implication in clinical management. currently, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) is an important modality in evaluating and grading brain tumors. the aim of this study is  evaluation of metabolites in the differentiation of brain tumo...

When the available statistical information is imperfect, it is dangerous to follow standard optimisation procedures to construct an optimal portfolio, which usually leads to a strong concentration of the weights on very few assets. We propose a new way, based on gener-alised entropies, to ensure a minimal degree of diversiication.

Background: Most preclinical studies are carried out on mice. For internal dose assessment of a mouse, specific absorbed fraction (SAF) values play an important role. In most studies, SAF values are estimated using older standard human organ compositions and values for limited source target pairs.Objective: SAF values for monoenergetic photons of energies 15, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 4000 keV...

colloid cysts are mucous-filled masses with an outer fibrous layer. these cysts are rare developmental malformation and not a true neoplasm. they usually found incidentally and are asymptomatic; but in some cases may associate with rapid neurologic deterioration, herniation, and sudden death. recognition of this rare but important diagnosis may result in decreasing mortality. in this report, we...

The probabilistic Noisy OR model has been widely used as a means of reducing the amount of probabilistic information that is needed to specify the interaction between groups of variables. Motivated by our work on the diagnosis of faults in satellite subsystems , which required a similar synthesis of partial possibilistic information on interactions , we consider a number of ways of gener-alisin...

Brain tumours are masses of abnormal cells that can grow in an uncontrolled way the brain. There different types malignant brain tumours. Gliomas from glial and identified as astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, ependymoma. We study a mathematical model describes glia-neuron interaction, glioma, chemotherapeutic agent. In this work, we consider drug sensitive resistant glioma cells. show continuous ...
