Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are neoplasms that starts from cells of the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems.  Many are benign, while some are malignant. They most commonly occur in the intestine, where they are often called carcinoid tumors, but they are also found in the pancreas, lung and the rest of the body. Symptoms. The signs and symptoms of a neuroendocrine tumour depend on where in the body it is and what hormones it produces. For example, a tumour in the digestive system (gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumour) may cause: A tumour in the lung (pulmonary neuroendocrine tumour) may cause:  Some tumours may lead to abnormally large amounts of hormones being released into the bloodstream. These are known as "functioning tumours" and can cause symptoms such as: Diagnosis. Many tests can be used to diagnose neuroendocrine tumours, including blood tests, urine tests, scans and a biopsy (where a small tissue sample is taken for closer examination).

He was also very interested in the theory of color. Life and career. Klee was born in Münchenbuchsee, a town near Bern in Switzerland. His mother, born Ida Maria Frick, came from Basel in Switzerland. His father, Hans Klee, came from Tann, a small town in the Hesse state of Germany. Both his parents were musicians. When he was very young he trained to be a violinist. Then he decided to become an artist. He studied art under Heinrich Knirr. In 1899 he was admitted to the Academy of Fine arts in Munich. After leaving the academy he also studied art in Italy. After Italy, he returned to Bern and lived with his parents for several years. Klee married the pianist Lily Stumpf in 1906.

Indohyus (meaning "India's pig") is a small deer-like creature, which lived about 49 or 48 million years ago in Kashmir, India. It belongs to the artiodactyls family "Raoellidae", and is believed to be the closest sister group of Cetacea. It lived during the same time as the related "Pakicetus". The two may have coexisted. About the size of a raccoon or domestic cat, this herbivorous creature shared some of the traits of whales. It also showed signs of adaptations to aquatic life, including a thick and heavy outer bone coating. This is similar to the bones of modern creatures such as the hippopotamus, and reduces buoyancy so that they can stay underwater. This suggests a similar survival strategy to the African mousedeer or water chevrotain which, when threatened by a bird of prey, dives into water and hides beneath the surface for up to four minutes. There are two known species of Indohyus:
Himalayacetus is an extinct aquatic cetacean known from fossils found in the Himachal Pradesh, India. It lived in the remnants of the ancient Tethys Ocean during the early Eocene. This extends the fossil record of whales by some 3.5 million years. "Himalayacetus" lived in the coastline of the ancient Tethys Ocean before the Indian plate collided with Eurasia. It is only known from a single jaw fossil, which makes exact comparisons with other cetaceans almost impossible.

Inferno by the Italian author Dante, is a work of fiction made in the 1500s, as a part of The Divine Comedy. It tells of the fictional journey that two men, Dante himself as well as Greek poet Virgil, takes place through Christian Hell. Hell is made up of several levels, or circles, in which sinners are divided and punished according to their sins. Their punishments are measured according to how many good deeds vs bad deeds were done. The Divine Comedy describes the journey of the soul toward God. And Inferno is about the recognition and rejection of sin.
A Qubit (or quantum bit or QBit) is a unit of measure used in quantum computing.  Like a bit in normal (non-quantum) computing, a Qubit has (the) two states, 0 state and the 1 state.A qubit can also have a state that is somewhere in-between, called a "superposition." Other information. You can not measure the superposition without the superposition going away (changing). If you try to measure a qubit that is in a superposition, the qubit will change, and become one of two states. The resulting state the qubit changes to depends on how it is measured. For simplicity, let's assume we are measuring in a way that will make the qubit change to either a 0 state or a 1 state. A qubit can be represented as a 2-element column vector. A qubit in the 0 state looks like formula_1.  A qubit in the 1 state looks like formula_2. In general, a qubit state will look like formula_3 , where formula_4. α and β are called amplitudes. They can be complex numbers. Each state has an amplitude. By squaring a state's amplitude, you can get the probability of measuring that state. Each state can also have a phase. The phase is part of the amplitude and is what can make the amplitude a complex number. A state's phase is like how much that state has rotated. The angle of phase is usually represented as either Φ or φ. Let's use φ. φ can go from 0 to formula_5 radians. The angle sort of goes into an Euler identity, where instead of formula_6, the formula_7 gets substituted with the angle φ. The state's phase becomes formula_8. This expression formula_8is a phase factor that becomes part of a state's amplitude. It gets multiplied with the amplitude. A phase angle of 0 makes the amplitudes positive real numbers, since formula_10. A phase angle of formula_11 makes the amplitudes negative real numbers, since formula_12. (This is Euler's identity) A
