Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors developing from neural crest cells, with numerous sites of origin, commonly the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts.NETs of the genitourinary tract are more common in women.Small cell carcinoma of the prostate or testicular carcinoid are the NETs in male.In this article, we pres
BackgroundThe most primitive ornithischian dinosaurs were small bipeds, but quadrupedality evolved three times independently in the clade.The transition to quadrupedality from bipedal ancestors is rare in the history of terrestrial vertebrate evolution, and extant analogues do not exist.Constraints imposed on quadrupedal ornithischians by their anc
In this study, the K-means algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (K-PSO) and game theory are introduced to establish the quality evaluation model of a rock mass.Five evaluation factors were considered, i.e., uniaxial saturated compressive strength of rock, discontinuity spacing, acoustic velocity, rock quality designation (RQD), and integr
Abstract Background Linear mixed models (LMM) are a common approach to analyzing data from cluster randomized trials (CRTs).Inference on parameters can be performed via Wald tests or likelihood ratio tests (LRT), but both approaches may give incorrect Type I error rates in common finite sample settings.The impact of different combinations of cluste
In this work the author analyzes the changes regarding concretizing the principle of immediacy brought by the Law on Changes and Supplements of the Law on Legal Proceedings in December 2009.The author confirms that the legislator has significantly broadened the range of this principle by widening the principle of self-governing trial related to fri
