We study the level spacing distribution p(s) in the spectrum of random networks. According to our numerical results, the shape of p(s) in the Erdős-Rényi (E-R) random graph is determined by the average degree k and p(s) undergoes a dramatic change when k is varied around the critical point of the percolation transition, k = 1. When k 1, the p(s) is described by the statistics of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE), one of the major statistical ensembles in Random Matrix Theory, whereas at k = 1 it follows the Poisson level spacing distribution. Closely above the critical point, p(s) can be described in terms of an intermediate distribution between Poisson and the GOE, the Brodydistribution. Furthermore, below the critical point p(s) can be given with the help of the regularized Gamma-function. Motivated by these results, we analyse the behaviour of p(s) in real networks such as the internet, a word association network and a protein-protein interaction network as well. When the giant component of these networks is destroyed in a node deletion process simulating the networks subjected to intentional attack, their level spacing distribution undergoes a similar transition to that of the E-R graph.

G-type and lymphatic invasion are independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis of an sm gastric carcinoma, and proliferative activity may be a significant parameter for lymph node metastasis in cases with I-type carcinomas.

A parallel digital-data-driver architecture has been developed to reduce power consumption in low-temperature poly-Si TFT-LCDs. It features low-power 3V-interface level shifters and 198 serial/parallel converters driven in parallel at a clock frequency of 62.5 kHz. Total power consumption in a 2. 4-in., 41K(176 x 234)-pixel TFT-LCD with integrated 6b DACs is 12 mW at a 30-Hz frame frequency.

A 71-year-old man underwent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for a gastric submucosal tumor in 1997; subsequently, he underwent follow-up without therapy. In December 2008, he noticed a mass at the umbilical wound. Computed tomography and physical examination of the umbilical mass indicated suspected recurrence of the gastric submucosal tumor at the port site. Because the lesion was locally confined, surgery was performed, including resection of the greater omentum; peritoneum; rectus abdominis; and the navel, including the skin. Histologic analysis of the tumor yielded positive results for c-kit, thereby indicating a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Mutation analysis of c-kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) revealed an acquired mutation in exon 18 of PDGFRα in the recurrent tumor. To date, only 4 cases of port-site recurrence after laparoscopic resection of GIST have been reported. This is the first study to report an acquired PDGFRα mutation in port-site recurrence after laparoscopic resection of a GIST.
