Uterus, bladder and rectum are the maximally exposed organs during cervical cancer radiotherapy and are at high risk of radiation exposure. Estimation of dose accumulation in these organs across multiple fractions of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT) is extremely challenging due to structural mis-correspondences and complex anatomical deformations between the EBRT and BT ...

West Africa is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This paper analyzed the impacts of climate change on economic growth in Anglophone West Africa with similar background, during the periods 1969-2016. Five growth model equations have been developed to incorporate climate change variables into the model. Panel data estimations such as the fixed effect model, random effect model and Haus...

Magnetic random access memory (MRAM) technology, based on the use of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), holds the promise of improving on the capabilities of existing charge-based memories by offering the combination of nonvolatility, speed, and density in a single technology. In this paper we review rapid-turnaround methods which have been developed or applied in new ways to characterize MRAM c...

background: stroke is a prevalent cause of disability in adults. the fall is the most common balance and motor impairments, which affects the quality of life in stroke patients. this study aims to employ random effects hurdle model for evaluating the balance improvement in stroke patients under the occupational therapy. methods: in this longitudinal study with repeated measurement during one ye...
