Purpose: The purpose of this work is to study and quantify the differences in calculated dose computed with two algorithms available in treatment planning systems: Pencil Beam Convolution and Clarkson. Material and Methods: Four different types of treatment cases were analyzed: lung, head and neck, brain and prostate. For each case, the volume definition was based on a clinical CT-scan acquisit...

in this paper, we define the common minimal common neighborhooddominating signed graph (or common minimal $cn$-dominating signedgraph) of a given signed graph and offer a structuralcharacterization of common minimal $cn$-dominating signed graphs.in the sequel, we also obtained switching equivalencecharacterization: $overline{sigma} sim cmcn(sigma)$, where$overline{sigma}$ and $cmcn(sigma)$ are ...

A signed graph is a whose edges are labeled either positive or negative. Corresponding to the two distance matrices defined for graphs, we define laplacian matrices. We characterize balance in graphs using these and find spectra of some classes unbalanced graphs.

In the present study, sludge from a steel wastewater treatment plant (SWWTP) was analyzed regarding its physicochemical characteristics and metal contents, and disposal options. For these purposes, grab sampling was used to collect 18 slurry and 18 cake sludge samples in 6 mouth (May-October 2012). Mann-Whitney U test, one sample T-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied to analyze the ...

Nonparametric control charts are presented in order to figure out the problem of detecting changes in the process median (or mean)‎, ‎or changes in the variability process where there is limited knowledge regarding the underlying process‎. ‎When observations are reported imprecise‎, ‎then it is impossible to use classical nonparametric control charts‎. ‎This paper is devoted to the problem of c...

AIM To ascertain whether a lack of inter-rater reliability with the original Waterlow (1996) pressure ulcer risk assessment scale is due to different perceptions of patients by nurses or different interpretations of Waterlow as a tool. METHOD A sample of 110 qualified nurses, who used the Waterlow pressure ulcer risk assessment scale in their daily work and were delegates at five study days, ...

AIM Changes in saccade velocity/amplitude characteristics (main sequence) and attenuation of distance esotropia in response to botulinum toxin (BTX-A) chemodenervation of the antagonist medial rectus were studied in a group of nine patients with chronic lateral rectus palsy. METHODS Serial measurements of ocular deviation and infrared oculograms of saccadic eye movements to targets at 5 degre...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of full panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) followed by trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in the management of eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG). METHODS This study is based on 30 consecutive eyes of 27 patients with NVG who underwent full PRP followed by trabeculectomy with MMC. NVG was secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (23 eyes) and cen...
