Introduction: Synchronous neuroendocrine tumor in the background of midrectal adenocarcinoma is rare. It is a very slow-growing tumor and symptomatic only late in the course of the disease. Case Summary: This is a 60 years old gentleman with no past medical illness presented with persistent loose stool with mucus for 3 months. Colonoscopy found cli

The present invention relates to a temperature swing adsorption process for dehydrating ethanol, comprising the steps of: providing an adsorption bed (50) packed with zeolites (20) as adsorbent in an adsorption column; regenerating the adsorption bed (50) by flow of inert gas under atmospheric pressure at 200°C; contacting a feedstream comprising

The task of identifying the main key nodes in the dark (covert) networks is very important for the researchers in the field of dark networks analysis. This analysis leads to locate the major nodes in the network as the functionality can be minimized by disrupting major key nodes in the network. In this paper, we have primarily focused on two basic

Image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments and regions for further processing. Edge detection methods are widely used in the area of image processing for feature detection and extraction. In this paper we use human’s Knee MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) images of patients and applied various image se

This paper reports the result of a research in a pharmaceutical industry in Malaysia. The data have been collected and analyzed because of the some issues occurred in company X. There is need of adding a check station in the company. Moreover, the issues on the health of human eyes sight that required to be considered during quality check. In order

For an assistive device to be usable in carrying out activities of daily living, it is highly important that the device be compact, light in weight and portable. It is even more important that the device be comfortable and safe to use. As different people have different hand sizes, the assistive hands must be designed considering the variety of han

A remote patient monitoring system is implemented which is used for real time monitoring of various heath parameters of a remotely based patient. Oxygen saturation and body temperature are the two parameters calculated and transmitted via a server to a remote client. The main purpose of this paper is to present a remote Pulse Oximetry System for he

The increasing demand for natural gas and oil as an important energy sources has led to rising the application of high strength low alloy steels (HSLA), which indicates continued growth of pipeline installations and the qualification of the actual pipeline network. A difficult problem to be solved for the economic and safe operation of high pressur

The availability of huge data, due to the tremendous storage capacity of modern computers has allowed the systematic collection, and high processing speed has permitted analysis on that data by researchers on a scale far larger than previously possible. Due to this, complex network formation has been seen and observed in many real and artificial co

Superhydrophobic organosilica was fabricated from Tetraorthosilicate (TEOS) as the precursor using a simple sol gel technique and treated by using perfluoroalkysilane. The super hydrophobic silica has been coated on steel and aluminium surface and was characterised based on the silica content on the coating. The results show that the highest contac
