MANAGEMENT OF A RAPIDLY EXPANDING NECK MASS WITH A RARE DIAGNOSIS

Management of a rapidly expanding neck mass with a rare diagnosis

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours are uncommon, aggressive tumours that are very rarely found in the head and neck.Whilst commonly associated with NF1 and radiotherapy, they can on occasion present sporadically.MPNSTs provide a challenge to the pathologist in diagnosis due to the often heterogeneous nature of their composition.A 60 year old

Control of cyclin C levels during development of Dictyostelium.

Cdk8 and its partner cyclin C form part of the mediator complex which links the basal transcription machinery to regulatory proteins.The pair are required for correct regulation of a subset of genes and have been implicated in control of development in a number of organisms including the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.When feeding, Dictyost

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping with Iterative Sparse Extended Information Filter for Autonomous Vehicles

In this paper, a novel iterative sparse extended information filter (ISEIF) was proposed to solve the simultaneous localization and Pants mapping problem (SLAM), which is very crucial for autonomous vehicles.The proposed algorithm solves the measurement update equations with iterative methods adaptively to reduce linearization errors.With the scala
