Purpose: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignancy with features of skeletal muscle, and the most common soft tissue sarcomaof childhood. Survival for high-risk groups is approximately 30%at 5 years and there are no durable therapies tailored to its genetic aberrations. During genetic modeling of the common RMS variants, embryonal RMS (eRMS) and alveolar RMS (aRMS), we noted that the receptor tyro...

We describe a technique for estimating human pose from an image sequence captured by a time-of-flight camera. The pose estimation is derived from a simple model of the human body that we fit to the data in 3D space. The model is represented by a graph consisting of 44 vertices for the upper torso, head, and arms. The anatomy of these body parts is encoded by the edges, i.e. an arm is represente...

with the prolonged use of domestic centrifugal pump, due to erosion, corrosion and an unbalance the sever vibration of the pump are resulted. an erratic sound coming out of pump makes the user uncomfortable. here, tuned vibration absorber (tva) is used as a vibration controlling device. it is designed to reduce the rms velocity below 20% of the circumferential speed, at which the impeller is ba...

background: to evaluate the dosimetric difference between conventional and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3d-crt) using 6 and 18 mv x-ray photons. materials and methods: computed tomography scans of 26 pelvic patients were acquired and transferred to the 3d treatment planning system. for each patient, 8 conventional plans (3, 4, 5 and 6 fields) and one 3d-crt plan were prepared using...

Experimental measurements of particle dynamics on the lower surface of a three-dimensional (3D) Couette cell containing monodisperse spheres are reported. The average radial density and velocity profiles are similar to those previously measured within the bulk and on the lower surface of the 3D cell filled with mustard seeds. Observations of the evolution of particle velocities over time reveal...

Ionospheric delay is one of the most problematic errors in single-frequency (SF) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data processing. Global/regional ionospheric maps (GIM/RIM) are thus vitally important for positioning users. Given coexistence multi-GNSS, integration quad-constellation observations essential improving distribution penetration points (IPPs) and increasing redundant compar...

Software services offer many opportunities like reduced cost for IT infrastructure. They also introduce new risks, for example the clients lose control over their data. While data can be secured against external threats using standard techniques, the service providers themselves have to be trusted to ensure privacy. In this paper, we examine methods that can increase the level of privacy a serv...
