We present the case of an adolescent with an intramuscular ancient schwannoma of the axillary nerve which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported before. Due to its deep location, intramuscular schwannoma has less clinical signs and hence, is difficult to diagnose. Ancient schwannoma, characterised by degeneration due to long course, is rare and can be mistaken for malignancy due to heterogeneous intensity and degeneration evident on MRI and nuclear atypia on histopathology. It is important to differentiate it from malignancy based on a clinically benign swelling with a long history, well-encapsulated mass on MRI with the split fat sign and absence of significant mitotic activity despite nuclear atypia. The aim of surgery should be enucleation of the tumour while preserving the function of the parent nerve.

Extrapleural Solitary Fibrous Tumor

Abstract Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumors have often been confused with other mesenchymal tumors, such as hemangiopericytoma, fibrous histiocytoma, fibrous meningioma, and leiomyoma, because of morphologic similarity and underrecognition, especially if some unusual features are present. Recently, epithelioid solitary fibrous tumor has been reported in the mediastinum. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit with biphasic architecture, including spindle cell and epithelioid components. Both components demonstrated immunohistochemical features of a solitary fibrous tumor. A background of scattered vessels was present. No evidence of significant nuclear atypia or mitotic activity was noted. In this report, we discuss the differential diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor with unusual epithelioid features. Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors of the orbit with a spindle cell appearance even in the presence of some epithelioid morphology.

Controllable Size

Knowledge of the function and structure of small metal clusters is one goal of research in catalysis. One important experimental parameter is cluster size. Ideally, one would like to produce metal clusters of regulated size in order to characterize size-dependent cluster properties.A source has been developed which is capable of producing microscopic metal clusters of controllable size (in the range 5-500 atoms) This source, the Multiple Expansion Cluster Source, with a Free Jet Deceleration Filter (MECS/FJDF) operates as follows. The bulk metal is heated in an oven to give controlled concentrations of monomer and dimer which were expanded sonically. These metal species were quenched and condensed in He and filtered to produce areosol particles of a controlled size as verified by mass spectrometer measurements. The clusters were caught on pre-mounted, clean carbon films. The grids were then transferred in air for microscopic examination. MECS/FJDF was used to produce two different sizes of silver clusters for this study: nominally Ag6 and Ag50.

Within the last few years, adrenal cortical tumors with features concordant with the diagnostic criteria attributed to oncocytomas have been reported. To date, only nine reported cases exist in the literature. This report is the tenth case presentation of a presumptively benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland with a rare differentiation. Oncocytomas are well recognized benign tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid, and salivary glands and of the kidney. Other organs also give rise to these types of tumors, however with less frequency than the former sites. The characteristics generally used to classify a tumor as an oncocytoma include the following criteria: the tumor is 1) usually a solitary circumscribed mass with no gross nor microscopic evidence of metastasis (no tissue nor vascular invasion), 2) fairly bland in terms of mitotic activity and nuclear morphology, and 3) composed of large eosinophillic cells in which the cytoplasm is packed full of mitochondria (Figure 1).

Mobile Communication Industry

There are different communication standards in present mobile communication industry. Each of this standards has its own feature, architecture, and channel assignment strategies. Each mobile operator uses one of any standard and their aim is to support as much user as possible to communicate with tolerable interference. For that reason they use different cluster size and frequency planning to cover entire geographical area. To reuse the given bandwidth within the entire geographical area some cells uses same sets of frequency and interference arise when the distance between these cells is small. Also when distance is large then capacity is going low. In this thesis our work is to investigation the co channel interference among different cluster size assuming a limited sub urban geographical area in a cellular GSM network. Also we calculate the number of users using each of this cluster size and finally design a cellular system in this geographical area using best results (minimum interference and maximum capacity).
