Lymph Node Evolution in Eyelid and Orbit Squamous Cell Carcinomas
This article summarizes our findings regarding lymph node evolution inside the parotid gland and submental and submanidbular nodes. We recommend to perform systematically an imaging setup and to perform an extensive neck dissection involving IA (submental areas) et IB (submandibular areas) areas when facing a lymph node evolution.

A Parametric Perceptual Deficit Modeling and Diagnostics Framework for Retina Damage using Mixed Reality [PDF]
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive visual impairment affecting millions of individuals. Since there is no current treatment for the disease, the only means of improving the lives of individuals suffering from the disease is via assistive technologies. In this paper we propose a novel and effective methodology to accurately generate

Quantum measurement as driven phase transition: An exactly solvable model [PDF]
A model of quantum measurement is proposed, which aims to describe statistical mechanical aspects of this phenomenon, starting from a purely Hamiltonian formulation. The macroscopic measurement apparatus is modeled as an ideal Bose gas, the order parameter of which, that is, the amplitude of the condensate, is the pointer variable.
