Q3875054 Neuro-oncology is the study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms, many of which are (at least eventually) very dangerous and life-threatening (astrocytoma, glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, ependymoma, pontine glioma, and brain stem tumors are among the many examples of these). Among the malignant brain cancers, gliomas of the brainstem and pons, glioblastoma multiforme, and high-grade (highly anaplastic) astrocytoma are among the worst. In these cases, untreated survival usually amounts to only a few months, and survival with current radiation and chemotherapy treatments may extend that time from around a year to a year and a half, possibly two or more, depending on the patient's condition, immune function, treatments used, and the specific type of malignant brain neoplasm. Surgery may in some cases be curative, but, as a general rule, malignant brain cancers tend to regenerate and emerge from remission easily, especially highly malignant cases. In such cases, the goal is to excise as much of the mass (tumor cells) and as much of the tumor margin as possible without endangering vital functions or other important cognitive abilities. |

Q7233199 A positional game is a kind of a combinatorial game for two players. It is described by: X {\displaystyle X} - a finite set of elements. Often X {\displaystyle X} is called the board and its element are called positions. F {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F}}} - a family of subsets of X {\displaystyle X} . These subsets are usually called the winning-sets.A criterion for winning the game.During the game, players alternately claim previously-unclaimed positions, until one of the players wins. If all positions in X {\displaystyle X} are taken while no player wins, the game is considered a draw.The classic example of a positional game is Tic-tac-toe. In it, X {\displaystyle X} contains the 9 squares of the game-board, F {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F}}} contains the 8 lines that determine a victory (3 horizontal, 3 vertical and 2 diagonal), and the winning criterion is: the first player who holds an entire winning-set wins. Other examples of positional games are Hex and the Shannon switching game.For every positional game there are exactly three options: either the first player has a winning strategy, or the second player has a winning strategy, or both players have strategies to enforce a draw. The main question of interest in the study of these games is which of these three options holds in any particular game.A positional game is finite, deterministic and has perfect information; therefore, in theory it is possible to create the full game tree and determine which of these three options holds. In practice, however, the game-tree might be enormous. Therefore, positional games are usually analyzed via more sophisticated combinatorial techniques. |

Q6934641 Multiculturalism without Culture is a book written by Anne Phillips. The topic of multiculturalism is explored by Phillips with reference to such subjects as Feminism, Anthropology, Political Theory, Law, and Philosophy. Her inspiration to write the book stemmed from the contrasting concerns of multiculturalism challenging the rights of women and feminism encroaching upon the well-being of cultures. While Phillips presents many different perspectives on multiculturalism, her general argument in the book can be summed up as: “It is time for elaborating a version of multiculturalism that dispenses with reified notions of culture, engages more ruthlessly with cultural stereotypes, and refuses to subordinate the rights and interests of women to the supposed traditions of their culture.” |

This, along with the Navajo's adaptation of certain pueblo lifeways after the Pueblo Revolt (1680-1692), led to increased settlement size and new trade relations.

Q5140755 Coenodomus hockingii is a species of snout moth in the genus Coenodomus. It was described by Walsingham in 1888, and is known from the United States, India and Indonesia.The larvae are gregarious, and live in strong tubes of white silk, of the consistency of stout cardboard. These are open at both ends, and from three to fifteen are agglomerated together, the heads of the larvae projecting from one or other end, according to the position of the leaves of their food, to which the whole mass of tubes is attached by stout silken threads consisting of many strands. The walls of these tubes are double, and of very curious construction. The inner lining of white silk is smooth and rather shining, while the outer layer is much stouter and has an uneven surface. This is due to the interposition of larval excrement between the two walls. The silk at the ends of the tube is frayed out, and has apparently been used for attaching them to the leaves and twigs, or for changing the position of the common dwelling, according to the feeding requirements of its various inmates. |
