INTRODUCTION Inverse-planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IP-IMRT) has potential benefits over other techniques for tangential intact breast radiotherapy. Possible benefits include increased homogeneity, faster planning time, less inter-planner variability and lower doses to organs at risk (OAR). We therefore conducted a pilot study of previously treated intact breast patients to comp...

BACKGROUND Better management of affective and somatoform disorders may reduce consultation rates in primary care.

Our objective was to investigate the use of primary care for undifferen...

The purpose of this dissertation was to provide the foundation for interpretation of the findings of a four-year, quasi-experimental intervention stud...

BACKGROUND Poor access and low contraceptive prevalence are common to many Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

is one of the most familiar, and most studied, families of elliptic curves, often used for testing conjectures and for illustrating theorems. When we became interested in the Lang-Trotter conjecture [L-T, page 33] in the function field case, cf. [Ka-LTR], we turned to this family to do some computer experiments. This paper reports on an empirical discovery made in the course of those experiment...
