  Canine Mast Cell Tumors
Mast cells are cells that normally occur in the skin and other tissues, such as the intestines and respiratory tract.
In determining the appropriate therapy for mast cell tumors and their wide variety of forms, it is important to remember that each animal needs to be evaluated and treated individually.
Because it is difficult to diagnose a mast cell tumor by visual inspection, it is important that all suspicious-looking skin tumors be examined by a veterinarian and followed up with diagnostic testing and identification.

 Mapping Mast Is a Marvel of Engineering
The massive graphite-epoxy and titanium mast forms the nexus of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, separating the two radar antennas used in the project.
The company has built NASA masts and booms for years, including specimens that flew, or are flying on Galileo, Cassini, Mars Pathfinder and Lunar Prospector.
The 605-pound (275-kilogram) mast also carries a shiny web of utility lines, including 440 pounds (200 kilograms) of coaxial and fiber-optic cables, copper wire and a single thruster gas line.

 MAST - Introduction
MAST is a tool for searching biological sequence databases for sequences that contain one or more of a group of known motifs.
MAST takes as input a file containing the descriptions of one or more motifs and searches a sequence database that you select for sequences that match the motifs.
MAST works by calculating match scores for each sequence in the database compared with each of the motifs in the group of motifs you provide.

In vessels having more than one mast, a small forward mast is called the foremast and a small mast abaft the mainmast is called the mizzenmast.

  Mast Cell Tumors   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Mast cells are meant to participate in the war against parasites (as opposed to the war against bacterial or viral invaders).
While the mast cell tumor does not spread to lung the way other tumors do, there are many lymph nodes in the chest and it is helpful to radiograph the chest to assess the size of these lymph nodes and thus help determine the extent of tumor spread.
Mast cell tumors that originate in deeper tissues such as the liver or spleen carry a particularly grave prognosis.

 Making the Most of Your Mast
The term "mast" is a general term that refers to the reproductive bodies of plants and is often associated with wildlife food sources.
Mast has been found to be consumed in all seasons, but not necessarily from the same plant species.
Mast producers for each season should include an array of vegetation ranging from ground-cover plants such as grasses, forbs and low shrubs, to large shrubs, mid-story trees, and overstory trees.

Mast Sanity Spokesperson Yasmin Skelt says “Why then is it OK to put these devices in schools, exposure from which has been shown to be equal or more than that from the main beam from a Mobile Phone Mast?[8]”

 STS-99 Payload: SRTM Hardware--the Mast
The mast technology enables the SRTM system to perform at the high precision necessary to achieve the desired mapping resolution.
Suppose the mast tip moves around by only 2 cm (a bit less than 1 inch) with respect to the Shuttle (this is something that is expected to happen during the mission, due to the astronauts moving around and Shuttle thrusters firing).
Part of this is measuring where the mast tip is relative to the Shuttle to better than 1 mm (about 4/100th of an inch).

 mast
The plan is to use a temporary lifting pole, called a 'gin pole' to support a 'halyard' which carries the weight of the mast so the stepping crew can spend their energy on guiding the mast rather than lifting it.
In the case of the Antrim 27, the plate is prevented from slipping aft by a raised section for the hinge plate.
The lifting line goes from the mast to the block at the top of the gin pole, then down to a turning block at the deck, then aft to a winch.
