Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) plan evaluation using dose response models has become a feasible approach in routine clinical practice. Although there are several tools for this task, they suffer from limitations including number of different dose response models and parameters. In the present study, we aimed to develop a free program for RT plan evaluation based on a variety ...

abstract: on december 2010, the government of iran ended the decades-long subsidy program for bread and energy products and launched the targeted subsidy reform program that considerably raised prices of food products. the objective of the study was to measure welfare impacts of food price changes on iranian urban households between two survey data of 2009/10 and 2011/12 which were taken from i...

background: empirical inculcation is vital for producing quality research professionals and upon realizing the increasing demand of emerging scientific research professionals, national academy of young scientist (nays) launched its science for youth (s4y) program in pakistan with its emphasis on empiricism. methods: s4y team was galvanized to undertake this task and different scientific activit...

Microgrid and smart electrical grids are among the new concepts in power systems that support new technologies within themselves. Electric cars are some advanced technologies that their optimized use can increase grid efficiency. The modern electric cars sometimes, through the necessary infrastructure and proper management, can serve as an energy source to supply grid loads. This study was cond...

the medium density fiberboard (mdf) market demand was investigated during the years from 2004 to 2013 in iran. estimation of mdf demand was made by exponential smoothing method by the year 2018. the insight into the level of demand that might exist by the year 2013 was obtained by reviewing the production, import, export, and consumption of mdf on the iran. the results show that the consumption...

With the advancement in smart grid and energy devices, demand response becomes one of most economic feasible solutions to ease load stress power grids during peak hours. In this work, we propose a fully decentralized ensemble control framework with consensus for (DR) events compatible methods based on random policies. We show that under is tailored DR, our proposed method yields same optimality...
