Background: We report the case of a patient with an advanced carcinoma of the cervix treated using the new concept of LATTICE Radiotherapy (LRT). We describe the dose distribution, planning and delivery of treatment as well as the clinical evaluation of the patient during and at the completion of treatment. The basic principle of LATTICE is to create, within the tumor volume, multiple localized...

The adaptation of transport concepts to changing urban conditions has rendered continuous transformation in the contexts, rationalities and type decisions involved planning. Foresight approaches future studies offer flexible tools capture transformations at such different levels. In this work, we explore pathways for integration future-scenario methods planning, using implementation Light Rail ...

Abstract. This study provides first estimates of the water transport timescale for five lakes located in Larsemann Hills oasis (69∘23′ S, 76∘20′ E) East Antarctica. We estimated lake retention time (LRT) as a ratio volume to inflow and outflow terms balance equation. The LRT was evaluated epiglacial landlocked types, it assumed that these are monomictic, with exchange occurring during warm seas...

Abstract The rapidly aging society of Japan requires a quality transportation system that provides new mobility services combining innovative technologies to include all residents. present study carries out pilot test the world’s first connected public transport between autonomous buses (AB) and light rail transit (LRT). In this system, telecommunication two modes enabled bus fully self-drive p...

Treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been challenging as most patients present with late, advanced disease, where curative options are limited. For years, locoregional therapy (LRT) the first-line intermediate-stage HCC and sorafenib HCC. However, these treatments often palliative since they plagued by tumor recurrence or progression. Therefore, there is growing interest in combined...

In this paper we present an exact likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing the simple null hypothesis on all parameters of the linear regression model with normally distributed errors. In particular, we consider the simultaneous test for the regression parameters, β, and the error standard deviation, σ. The critical values of the LRT are presented for small sample sizes and a small number of exp...

In practical applications, when testing parametric restrictions for hidden Markov models (HMMs), one frequently encounters non-standard situations such as testing for zero entries in the transition matrix, one-sided tests for the parameters of the transition matrix or for the components of the stationary distribution of the underlyingMarkov chain, or testing boundary restrictions on the paramet...

Surveys provide a low-cost means to obtain large amounts of data that are ideal for conducting exploratory research, and they becoming an increasingly valuable tool in veterinary context. We investigated whether surveys pet rat owners might useful could pave the way more targeted empirical studies laboratory welfare. To achieve this, we used online survey, distributed via social media, which as...

The response of a bistable noise-driven system to a weak periodic force is investigated using linear response theory (LRT) and by analogue electronic experiment. For quasi-thermal systems the response, and in particular its increase with increasing noise intensity D, are described by the fluctuation-dissipation relations. For small D the low-frequency susceptibility of the system χ(ω) has been ...

In this paper we investigate the use of voice activity detection (VAD) for improving noise models used for cepstral domain minimum mean squared error (MMSE) filtering of noisy speech. Due to the popularity of MFCC features for speech recognition, it is useful to have VAD methods and MMSE filtering algorithms that both work in the MFCC domain. We propose a method for VAD based on the likelihood ...
