Primary central nervous system T-cell lymphoma.

Item does not contain fulltextMost primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSL) are B-cell neoplasms; T-cell lymphomas are quite rare. The authors report two young patients with T-cell PCNSL who had a complete response to chemo- and radiotherapy but developed recurrent disease and died 11 and 13 months from diagnosis. The prognosis of T-cell PCNSL may be worse than that of comparable B-cell tumors

Delay-induced cluster patterns in coupled Cayley tree networks

We study effects of delay in diffusively coupled logistic maps on the Cayley tree networks. We find that smaller coupling values exhibits sensitiveness for value of delay, and leads to different cluster patterns of self-organized and driven types. Whereas larger coupling strengths are very robust against change in delay values, and leads to stable driven clusters comprising only nodes from last generation of the Calaye tree. Furthermore, introduction of delay exhibits suppression as well as enhancement of synchronization depending upon coupling strength values, hence demonstrating richness of the model. To the end we relate the results with social conflicts and cooperation observed in families.Comment: EPJ-ST (In press

Effect of noise on generalized synchronization of chaos: theory and experiment

The influence of noise on the generalized synchronization regime in the chaotic systems with dissipative coupling is considered. If attractors of the drive and response systems have an infinitely large basin of attraction, generalized synchronization is shown to possess a great stability with respect to noise. The reasons of the revealed particularity are explained by means of the modified system approach [A.E. Hramov, A.A. Koronovskii, Phys. Rev. E 71, 067201 (2005)] and confirmed by the results of numerical calculations and experimental studies. The main results are illustrated using the examples of unidirectionally coupled chaotic oscillators and discrete maps as well as spatially extended dynamical systems. Different types of the model noise are analyzed. Possible applications of the revealed particularity are briefly discussed
