Fluoroscopy is currently used in treatment planning for patients undergoing radiation therapy. Radiation oncologists would like to maximize the amount of dose the tumor receives and minimize the amount delivered to the surrounding tissues. During treatment, patients breathe freely and so the tumor location will not be fixed. This makes calculating the amount of dose delivered to the tumor, and ...

We learn rich natural sound representations by capitalizing on large amounts of unlabeled sound data collected in the wild. We leverage the natural synchronization between vision and sound to learn an acoustic representation using two-million unlabeled videos. Unlabeled video has the advantage that it can be economically acquired at massive scales, yet contains useful signals about natural soun...

The Gd(Be,α3n)Dy reaction has been used to study high-spin states in Dy. Pulsed beam conditions were utilised for enhanced isomer sensitivity. An isomer at 2188.1(3) keV with a half-life of 8.3(3) μs has been discovered and assigned K= 8 with a 2-quasineutron configuration. Among eleven γ-ray decay branches, an E2, ∆K= 8 transition to the ground-state band was observed with a reduced hindrance ...

We present two novel contributions to the problem of region classification in scenery/landscape images. The first is a model that incorporates local cues with global layout cues, following the statistical characteristics recently suggested in [1]. The observation that background regions in scenery images tend to horizontally span the image allows us to represent the contextual dependencies betw...

the ultraviolet-visible (uv) spectra of toluene, ortho-bromo and para-bromo toluene in different solvents have been studied. the electric dipole moments and polarizabilities in the molecular excited electronic states were determined. it was found that the electric dipole moments for the excited states (µ*) and the ground states (µ) of these compounds are equal, and the change in dipole moment i...

objective: in recent years, farmers have shown great interest to using native drill planter rather than complex planters to grow vegetables. methods: in this study, we tested a native planter independent variables were the two types of substrate surface (asphalt and plowed field), three ground speed (3, 5 and 7 kph) and four types of seeds (tomatoes, onions, radishes and lettuce). dependent var...

Tunnelling through cities underlain by soft soil, commonly associated with soil movement around the tunnels and subsequent surface settlement. The predication of ground movement during the tunnelling and optimum support pressure could be based on analytical, empirical or the numerical methods. The commonly used Earth pressure balance (EPB) tunneling machines, uses the excavated soil in a pressu...
