Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer wherein sustained radiation doses can be precisely targeted to the tumor area by the implantation of small radioactive seeds around the treatment area. Ultrasound is a popular imaging mode for seed implantation, but the seeds are difficult to distinguish from the tissue structure. In this work, we dem...

Abstract. This study proposes a framework for utilizing results obtained from advanced numerical simulations and performing probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment investigating optimal facility placement. A set of the off Pacific coast caused by 2011 Tohoku earthquake are performed considering uncertainties in fault parameters. Both inundation depths forces acting on buildings numerically simu...

OBJECTIVE   The purpose of this study was to assess the presence of the golden proportion (GP) in the facial view tooth-to-tooth width proportion of the six maxillary anterior teeth and to evaluate the width/height (W/H) ratios of the incisors of patients with maxillary lateral incisor (LI) agenesis treated either with implants or orthodontically (by moving canines into the position of the late...

Recent acoustic research has challenged the traditional understanding of the spirantization of Spanish /b d g/. We compare acoustic and EPG results on the realization of /d/ in different contexts. Whereas we largely confirm recent observations regarding the postfricative context, we also show that after nasals and laterals the intensity curve associated with the voiced obstruent /d/ does not of...

Due to the variability of soil characteristics in field and rising prices high-quality seeds, farmers are increasingly interested applying a system precision variable rate seeding (VRS), which makes it easier manage risks crop production allows ensure profitability farm. Most modern seed drills equipped with hydraulic or electric drive terminal tractor cabin, allowing apply VRS. The aim this st...

Field experiments were carried out at the Department of Agronomy Poznań University Life Sciences to determine effect depth NP fertilization placement in maize cultivation on number plants after emergence. The adopted assumptions verified based a six-year field experiment involving four depths fertilizer application (A1—0 cm (broadcast), A2—5 (in rows), A3—10 A4—15 rows)). objective this study w...
