Background: Commissioning tests are recommended before implementing Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. This study evaluated five different plans of IMRT mocks for different modulation indices. Materials and Methods: IMRT tests were done in slab phantom for both 6MV and 15 MV photon energies using a 2D array ion chamber dosimeter. Results: The acceptance criteria were based on 3% /3mm. All t...

abstract. in this paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy obstinate ideals in mv -algebras. some properties of fuzzy obstinate ideals are given. not only we give some characterizations of fuzzy obstinate ideals, but also bring the extension theorem of fuzzy obstinate ideal of an mv -algebra a. we investigate the relationships between fuzzy obstinate ideals and the other fuzzy ideals of an mv -a...

quantum-dot cellular automaton (qca) is a novel nanotechnology with a very different computational method in compared with cmos, whereas placement of electrons in cells indicates digital information. this nanotechnology with specifications such as fast speed, high parallel processing, small area, low power consumption and higher switching frequency becomes a promising candidate for cmos technol...

Respiratory muscle weakness resulting from both diaphragmatic contractile dysfunction and atrophy has been hypothesized to contribute to the weaning difficulties associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV). While it is clear that oxidative injury contributes to MV-induced diaphragmatic weakness, the source(s) of oxidants in the diaphragm during MV remain unknown. These experiments tes...

Coalition games are generalized to semisimple MV-algebras. Coalitions are viewed as [0,1]-valued functions on a set of players, which enables to express a degree of membership of a player in a coalition. Every game is a real-valued mapping on a semisimple MV-algebra. The goal is to recover the so-called core: a set of final distributions of payoffs, which are represented by measures on the MV-a...

Please see [1] for background on MV-algebras. We address the question, which MV-algebras have finite automorphism group. The automorphism group of the free MV-algebra on 1 generator is just the group of order 2 (folklore). In contrast, it is known that the automorphism group of the free MV-algebra on 2 generators is not even locally finite [4, 2]. Not much else seems to be known. Let us restric...
