In this volume an account is given of the technologies relevant to the detection of sentinel lymph nodes in the context of surgical oncology. This is a rapidly and evolving field, and the clinical applications discussed in this volume are exciting and important. A multidisciplinary team was assembled to discuss this subject in the light of direct experience gained by each of the groups in the previous 12 months. Clinical case material is presented and the methodology of sentinel lymph node imaging and detection is discussed in detail. The authors have assembled in a single volume a significant amount of personal data and a comprehensive literature review which will serve as a single reference and teaching source for all those interested in this critical technique relevant to the management of large numbers of patients in surgical oncology.

Many environmental problems contain incomplete data in the initial or boundary conditions. How do we solve problems for which some of the initial and/or boundary conditions are unknown? Using a new technique, the sentinel method, this book answers these questions and others as they pertain to inverse problems in environmental pollution, such as pollution of underground and surface waters, thermal pollution, and air pollution.

Marcus doesn't know why the Legion is chasing the girl through the radioactive wastelands between settlements, but when he crosses paths with her, he feels compelled to help. The brutality of the Legion is well known, and he couldn't leave her to that fate. Besides, people have been going missing, and he wants to know why. Perhaps this girl has the answers? If he can ever get her to talk. She, on the other hand, is on her own mission. One that will determine the fate of what is left of the world. But she's in over her head, and she knows it. If she ever wants to succeed, she's going to have to ask for help, something people in her past have been less than willing to provide. Together they must fight to stay one step ahead of the Legion, because the repercussions of failure extend much further than Marcus could ever imagine.
