Gallbladder cancer with tumor thrombus in the portal vein: A case report.

Rationale: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly fatal malignancy. Due to its invasiveness and delayed diagnosis, many GBC patients are diagnosed with synchronous liver and hepatoduodenal ligament involvement. In our case, we report a gallbladder cancer with portal vein thrombus.

A comparative assessment of economic-incentive and command-and-control instruments for air pollution and CO2 control in China's iron and steel sector.

China's iron and steel sector is faced with increasing pressure to control both local air pollutants and CO2 simultaneously. Additional policy instruments are needed to co-control these emissions in this sector. This study quantitatively evaluates and compares two categories of emission reduction instruments, namely the economic-incentive (EI) instrument of a carbon tax, and the command-and-control (CAC) instrument of mandatory application of end-of-pipe emission control measures for CO2, SO2 and NOx.

Guaranteed cost synchronization of chaotic cellular neural networks with time-varying delay.

Synchronization of cellular neural networks with time-varying delay is discussed in this letter. Based on Razumikhin theorem, a guaranteed cost synchronous controller is given. Unlike Lyapunov-Krasovskii analysis process, there is no constraint on the change rate of time delay.
