For reasons of phantom material reproducibility, the absorbed dose protocols of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) (TG-51) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) (TRS-398) have made the use of liquid water as a phantom material for reference dosimetry mandatory. In this work we provide a formal framework for the measurement of absorbed dose to water using ioniz...

[7-(2,6-Dichloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-benzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]-[4-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-phenyl]-amine (TG100435) is a novel multi-targeted Src family kinase inhibitor with demonstrated anticancer activity in preclinical species. Potent kinase inhibition is associated with TG100435 and its major N-oxide metabolite [7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-methyl-benzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]-{4-[2-(1-oxy-pyrrolid...

Tree ferns recently were identified as the closest sister group to the hyperdiverse clade of ferns, the polypods. Although most of the 600 species of tree ferns are arborescent, the group encompasses a wide range of morphological variability, from diminutive members to the giant scaly tree ferns, Cyatheaceae. This well-known family comprises most of the tree fern diversity (∼500 species) and is...

background: iodine brachytherapy sources with low photon energies have been widely used in treating cancerous tumors. dosimetric parameters of brachytherapy sources should be determined according to aapm tg-43u1 recommendations before clinical use. monte carlo codes are reliable tools in calculation of these parameters for brachytherapy sources. materials and methods: dosimetric parameters (dos...

Appointment scheduling is a problem faced daily by many individuals and organizations. Cooperating agent systems have been developed to partially automate this task. In order to extend the circle of participants as far as possible we advocate the use of natural language transmitted by email. We describe Cosma, a fully implemented German language server for existing appointment scheduling agent ...

In this paper, the definitions of novel classes generalized connected sets (briefly, g-Tg-connected sets) and disconnected g-Tg-disconnected in topological spaces Tg-spaces) are defined terms g-Tg -sets) and, their properties characterizations with respect to set-theoretic relations presented. The basic notions local, pathwise, local pathwise simple g-Tg-connectedness also study shows that -con...

In this paper, a new class of generalized separation axioms (briefly, g-Tg-separation axioms) whose elements are called g-Tg,K, g-Tg,F, g-Tg,H, g-Tg,R, g-Tg,N-axioms is defined in terms sets g-Tg-sets) topological spaces Tg-spaces) and the properties characterizations Tg-space endowed with each such discussed. The study shows that g-Tg,F-axiom implies g-Tg,K-axiom, g-Tg,H-axiom g-Tg,F-axiom, g-...

BACKGROUND Thyroglobulin (Tg) measurements are complicated by interference from Tg autoantibodies (TgAbs) or heterophilic antibodies (HAMAs). We used a new automated immunochemiluminometric assay (ICMA) with Tg recovery (TgR) on the Nichols Advantage platform to reassess the clinical utility of recovery testing in detecting interference in serum Tg measurement in patients with differentiated th...
