PURPOSE Tumor gene mutation status is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of patients with cancer. A comprehensive catalog of tumor gene-response outcomes from individual patients is needed, especially for actionable mutations and rare variants. We created a proof-of-principle database [DNA-mutation Inventory to Refine and Enhance Cancer Treatment (DIRECT)], starting with lung canc...

We present a catalog of type-specific, direct quadric fitting methods: Given a selection of a point cloud or triangle mesh, and a desired quadric type (e.g. cone, ellipsoid, paraboloid, etc), our methods recover a best-fit surface of the given type to the given data. Type-specific quadric fitting methods are scattered throughout the literature; here we present a thorough, practical collection i...

We study the kinematics of a sample classical Cepheids younger than 120 Myr. For these stars, estimates distances taken from Skowron et al., which are based on period–luminosity relation, and line-of-sight velocities proper motions Gaia catalog available. There also distance derived trigonometric parallaxes contained in ERD3 catalog. A method, relies comparison first-order derivative Galactic r...
