Carcinoids represent 1–2% of the rectal cancer. We report the case of a woman with a rectal carcinoid and a hypogastric node metastasis. We propose a less invasive treatment of the metastase using In11-octreotide-scintigraphy and intraoperative gamma-probe detector.
This paper presents a monitoring and forecasting system for Grid resources, based on Java and agent technologies. Performance monitoring, measurement and forecasting of Grid resources is an active research area, several researches and projects are studying and developing Grid information systems in order to provide users or schedulers with services necessary to determine which grid resource fulfills...
A web crawler is a relatively simple automated program or script that methodically scans or “crawls” through Internet pages to retrieval information from data. Alternative names for a web crawler include web spider, web robot, bot, crawler, and automatic indexer. There are many different uses for a web crawler. Their primary purpose is to collect data so that when Internet surfers enter a search term...
This paper presents a framework, based on Petri net and dynamic fuzzy clustering, to describe and to schedule task workflows in Grid environments. Computational Grids are intrinsically heterogeneous and dynamic systems, these features make difficult to build a resource scheduler that update itself automatically, following the resource evolution. In order to build a Grid scheduling system that automatically...
Earthquake analysis and monitoring requires complex processing of raw data acquired from several kind of sensors or extracted from data repositories. Management and processing of huge amount of data produced by different sources, i.e. remote sensing and measurement stations of ground and atmospheric physical parameters, the complexity of the environmental models adopted to understand observed phenomena,...
Grid computing allows integration of geographically distributed resources, belonging to different organization, to obtain huge computational power and data management capability that usually cannot be owned by a single computational system. Utilization of this powerful technology is mainly conditioned by tricky management of different architectures and environments and by the difficulty to identify...
Environments that integrate network computer into global computing resources have been studied since the development of Internet. In order to provide a platform independent approach to high-performance network computing, several Java-based implementations have been developed. Java overcomes the issue of maintaining different binary codes, multiple execution environments, and complex architectures...
Coastal areas ecosystem, representing one of the most delicate and complex relationship between natural environment and human activities, is one of the main subject of governments programs for environmental monitoring and eco-sustainable environmental management. This paper describes a quantitatively evaluation of MODIS water leaving reflectance products on coastal areas, where the occurrence of land...
A 52-year-old man with hypertension and prior ascending aorta reconstruction presented with an acute, type B intramural haematoma. The patient was managed by medical therapy and was closely followed up with trans-oesophageal echocardiography. At 36 months, we observed an asymptomatic echo-free space across the aortic, isthmic intramural haematoma associated with single ‘intimal micro-tear’. At 1-month...
