Galaxy clusters identified from the Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect are a key ingredient in multi-wavelength cluster-based cosmology. We present comparison between two methods of cluster identification: standard Matched Filter (MF) method SZ finding and using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). further implement show results for `combined' identifier. apply to simulated millimeter maps several ...

A series of experiments have been performed to determine the mechanisms of failure in compressively loaded laminated plates in the presence of stress gradients generated by a circular cutout. Real time holographic interferometry and in situ photomicrography of the hole surface along with strain gauge measurements are used to study the progression of failure. The test specimens are multilayered ...

Background: Polymer gel dosimetry is still the only dosimetry method for direct measuring of threedimensional dose distributions. MRI Polymer gel dosimeters are tissue equivalent and can act as a phantom material. In this study the obtained isodose maps with PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter were compared to those calculated with EGSnrs for singleshot irradiations of 8 and 18 mm collimators of...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the lesser trochanter for entry of lag screw placement in the fixation of hip fractures. Radiographs of the pelvis with both hips in 50 Chinese patients were analyzed to determine the accuracy of using the lesser trochanter as a reference landmark for inserting lag screws. The femoral neck was divided into 4 parts, and the second distal par...

The electron Monte Carlo (eMC) dose calculation algorithm of the Eclipse treatment planning system is based heavily upon Monte Carlo simulation of the linac head and modeling of the linac beam characteristics with minimal measurement of beam data. Commissioning of the eMC algorithm on multiple identical linacs provided a unique opportunity to systematically evaluate the algorithm with actual me...

PURPOSE To describe a variant of intertrochanteric fracture not well-characterised in the existing classification systems. METHODS 10 women and 2 men aged 59 to 98 (median, 80) years with intertrochanteric fractures characterised by a low intertrochanteric fracture, a basicervical fracture fragment, and a thin or fractured lateral wall with greater trochanteric comminution were reviewed. RE...
