✦ Synopsis
In this paper we study a model of necrotic tumor growth. The tumor comprises necrotic cells which occupy a radially symmetric core and life proliferating cells which occupy a radially symmetric shell adjacent to the core. The proliferating cells receive nutrients through diffusion from the outer boundary as well as by means of blood flow through a network of capillary vessels. The mathematical model describes the evolution of the nutrient concentration between the boundary of Ž .

Using ultrasound measurements of the femur, tibia, humerus, radius (N = 515), and fibula and ulna (N = 385) from normal fetuses between 12 and 40 completed weeks of gestation, growth models were determined for each bone by computer analysis. On the basis of residual analysis, growth of fetal limb bo
