background: aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the gated volumetric modulated arc therapy (vmat/rapidarc) using 2d planar dosimetry, dynalog files and compass 3d dosimetry system. materials and methods: pre-treatment quality assurance of 10 gated vmat plans was verified using 2d array and compass 3d dosimetry system. advantage of compass over 2d planar is that it provides the clin...

Microprocessor-Based Closed-Loop Motor Control A dedi~ated microprocessor control system was built from chip level using the Motorola M6800 family. The system has a keyboard and the interfaces for four LED displays, a phototransistor and a digital-to-analog converter. The system was designed to execute a closed loop motor control. The system accepts key input in RPM and drives the motor at the ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Complete blanching of port wine stain (PWS) birthmarks after laser therapy is rarely achieved for most patients. We postulate that the low therapeutic efficacy or treatment failure is caused by regeneration and revascularization of photocoagulated blood vessels due to angiogenesis associated with the skin's normal wound healing response. Rapamycin (RPM), an antiangioge...

A long-standing conundrum of glucocorticoid receptors has been why the steroid binding domain is active in hybrid proteins but not in isolation. For this reason, the precise boundaries of the steroid binding domain have not been defined. These questions have now been systematically examined with a variety of receptor deletion constructs. Plasmids encoding amino acids 537– 673 and 537–795 of the...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) simplify human life with automated functioning. This approach has also been implemented for remote patient monitoring (RPM). The objective of this paper is to find weaknesses in existing technology and to contribute to enhance the system with mature functioning. To achieve a robust system, we propose the optimized nomadic devices based RPM framework. Finally, we demons...

plicity, and experimental accessibility compared to CNS synapses. At fly neuromuscular junctions, presynaptic terminals consist of a series of branches, decorated with boutons containing active zones, whereas in worm, presynaptic terminals are arrayed like beads on a string.

A distinctively uneven profile of intelligence is a feature of the autistic spectrum. Within the spectrum, Asperger individuals differ from autistics in their early speech development and in being less likely to be characterized by visuospatial peaks. While different specific strengths characterize different autistic spectrum subgroups, all such peaks of ability have been interpreted as deficit...

Pondasi tiang pancang merupakan struktur bagian bawah yang menumpu pada tanah keras atau tumpuan padat dan bekerja sebagai penopang berada diatasnya, jika bawahnya kokoh maka atas akan tetap berdiri kokoh, sebaliknya tidak kuat menahan atasnya runtuh, Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui daya dukung pondasi tunggal kelompok dengan menggunakan metode Mayerhoff 1956 Luciano Decourt 1996 berd...
