Effectiveness of Positron Emission Tomography for Predicting Chemotherapy Response in Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases حسب Glazer, Evan

"…Chemotherapy changes the activity of a malignant lesion,1,10,11 but exactly how much is unclear. There appears to be a correlation between decreasing PET uptake and reduction in tumor burden; however, hypometabolic lesions may still harbor viable malignant cells.10,11 In addition, the authors reviewed the temporal relationship between chemotherapy and false-negative and false-positive results on PET. …"

Basin of Attraction through Invariant Curves and Dominant Functions حسب Al-Sharawi, Ziyad

"…We study a second-order difference equation of the form ₙ₊₁= ₙ(ₙ₋₁) + ℎ, where both () and () are decreasing. We consider a set of invariant curves at ℎ = 1 and use it to characterize the behaviour of solutions when ℎ > 1 and when 0 < ℎ < 1.The case ℎ > 1 is related to the Y2K problem. …"
