A sample of 132 preschoolers (Mage=3.83years, SD=0.85) rated the acceptability of moral and social-conventional events and also completed a visual judgment task (i.e., comparing line length) both independently and after having viewed two peers who...

The paper focuses on an open question about ensuring conformity among a domain of system knowledge, an analysis domain, a software design domain, and code. Principles of Model Driven Engineering are used in the research, namely, formal specifications of domains and support of conformity among these specifications with the help of traceability mechanism. Topological Functioning Model (TFM) has a...

The so-called Benford's laws are of frequent use in order to observe anomalies and regularities data sets, particular, election results financial statements.

PURPOSE Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an established treatment technique in the management of medically inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Different techniques such as volumetric modulated arc (VMAT) and three-dimensional conformal arc (DCA) can be used in SBRT. Previously, it has been shown that VMAT is superior to DCA technique in terms of plan evaluation pa...
