Introduction: The aim of this study was the evaluation of induced DNA damages of human prostate cancer cells, DU-145, treated with a combination of radiofrequency capacitive hyperthermia (HT) and teletherapy (EBRT) compared to a combination of teletherapy with high dose rate brachytherapy (BR).   Materials and Methods: DU-145 cells were cultured as spheroids ...

An apparatus was constructed to facilitate superimposition of the beam focus radiogram upon the axial transverse tomogram, in order to guide subsequent radia tion therapy more accurately. The apparatus automatically draws six isodose curves in three colors, by plotting the relative doses of the beam focus radiogram. In addition, the isodose chart was made at the same magnification as that of th...

Atmospheric precipitable water is a good indicator of the precipitation potential and is often used in the meteorological as well as hydrological studies relating to the precipitation. Normally precipitable water (Pw) is computed by using the lower tropospheric ( up to 400 hPa) temp data by plotting the temperature and dew point curves on the / T φ gram. The atmosphere is divided into suitable ...

We present PLTplot, a plotting package for PLT Scheme. PLTplot provides a basic interface for producing common types of plots such as line and vector field plots from Scheme functions and data, an advanced interface for producing customized plot types, and support for standard curve fitting. It incorporates renderer constructors, transformers from data to its graphical representation, as values...

On-going design of Mathematics Education Markup Language (MeML) is presented. MeML is an XML-based language and the key component of Web-based Mathematics Education framework (WME) under investigation. MeML enables authoring of systematic and interoperable mathematics education pages that may contain active parts for various mathematics and educational purposes such as example generation, answe...

Failure to thrive (FTT) is a perplexing disorder commonly seen by primary care physicians. Identification of FTT and an assessment of severity of the undernutrition are important to identify children at risk, and to provide appropriate intervention for preventing malnutrition and developing sequela. One of different anthropometric methods for categorizing undernutrition in childhood is Waterlow...

In this paper, I introduce the light curves of comets, bright comets or interesting comets with peculiar light curves, observed during a year between 2005 March and 2006 February. My web page "Comet Catalog" also introduces the light curves of comets, including ones not described in this paper. This graph represents the brightness change with a heliocentric brightness, corrected magnitude as ob...
