International Family Planning Perspectives Health care providers usually decide which medical treatment is best for a patient. In family planning counseling, however, the right of clients to receive accurate information and make their own decisions about reproductive health care—their right of informed choice—is considered fundamental.1 Informed choice emphasizes that clients select the method ...

an important factor in sustainable agriculture and economic management is to calculate areas under different crops that the inputs of agriculture connect to this topic. planning of agricultural mechanization, fertilizer and pesticide requirements, pests and diseases control, estimates of agricultural production, income and tax and financial planning, all linked to the cultivated areas and estim...

Three-dimensional (3D) treatment planning refers to the use of software and hardware tools to design and implement more accurate and conformal radiation therapy. This is a major advance in oncology that should lead to the reduction of treatment-associated morbidity and facilitate safe dose escalation for many tumor sites. This technology affords the incorporation of physiologic and anatomic inf...

Radionuclide therapy aims to treat malignant diseases by systemic administration of radiopharmaceuticals, often using carrier molecules such as peptides and antibodies. The radionuclides used emit electrons or alpha particles as a consequence of radioactive decay, thus leading to local energy deposition. Administration to individual patients can be tailored with regards to the risk of toxicity ...

BACKGROUND Accurate localization and visualization of subdural electrodes implanted for intracranial electroencephalography in cases of medically refractory epilepsy remains a challenging clinical problem. OBJECTIVE We introduce a technique for creating accurate 3-dimensional (3D) brain models with electrode overlays, ideal for resective surgical planning. METHODS Our procedure uses postimp...

Our research investigates a case-based approach to plan recognition using incomplete incrementallylearned plan libraries. To learn plan libraries, one must be able to process novel input. Retrieval based on similarities among concrete planning situations rather than among planning actions enables recognition despite the occurrence of newly observed planning actions and states. In addition we ex...

This paper studies buffer block planning for interconnect planning and prediction in deep submicron designs. We first introduce the concept of feasible region for buffer insertion, and derive its closedform formula. We observe that the feasible region for a buffer is quite large in general even under fairly tight delay constraint. Therefore, FR gives us a lot of flexibility to plan for buffer l...

Counterexample-guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR) is a method for incrementally computing abstractions of transition systems. We propose a CEGAR algorithm for computing abstraction heuristics for optimal classical planning. Starting from a coarse abstraction of the planning task, we iteratively compute an optimal abstract solution, check if and why it fails for the concrete planning task and...
