In the staging of cancer patients, transient and spontaneously reversible bilateral adrenal hypertrophy may mimic a secondary localization of the disease.We discuss the case of an 82-year-old male patient with suspected testicular neoplasia in which abdominal CT examination reveals the onset of a bilateral macronodular adrenal enlargement, suggesti
Considering that deployment strategies for underwater sensor networks should contribute to fully connecting the networks, a Guaranteed Full Connectivity Node Deployment (GFCND) algorithm is proposed in this study.The GFCND algorithm WOVEN BASKET attempts to deploy the coverage nodes according to the greedy iterative strategy, after which the connec
Wind turbines operate in the atmospheric boundary layer and are subject to complex random loading.This precludes using a deterministic response of healthy turbines as the baseline for identifying the effect of damage on the measured response of operating turbines.In the absence of such a deterministic response, the stochastic dynamic response of th
Introduction: The quality of care received by patients during the first few hours following an accident and/or acute life-threatening conditions can significantly affect the overall outcome of treatment.This study, therefore, assessed the quality of emergency nursing care in two tertiary healthcare settings in a developing Sub-Saharan African Count
A tensile-strained GeSn/SiGeSn multiple quantum PUMPKIN PIE SPICE well (MQW) laser wrapped in Si3N4 liner stressor is designed and characterized theoretically.A biaxial tensile strain is introduced into the GeSn/SiGeSn MQW laser by the Si3N4 liner stressor.The boosting effects of tensile strain on the threshold current density Jth and optical gain
