Although many methods exist for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) fluence map optimization for crisp data, based on clinical practice, some of the involved parameters are fuzzy. In this paper, the best fluence maps for an IMRT procedure were identifed as a solution of an optimization problem with a quadratic objective function, where the prescribed target dose vector was fuzzy. First, a d...

In the mid-1930s, Curt Stern was investigating why certain Drosophila mutants develop mosaic patches with different body bristle phenotypes, when he noticed a recurring pattern. In one particular cross, the offspring sometimes carried areas with one recessive phenotype (yellowish-brownish bristles) immediately adjacent to a sector showing a second recessive phenotype (gnarled bristles, known as...

A cDNA for fascin, an actin-bundling protein in echinoderms, has been cloned, sequenced, and expressed. The predicted mass of the protein is approximately 55 kDa, similar to that observed for fascin purified from sea urchin eggs. Bacterially expressed fascin reacts with antibodies prepared against sea urchin egg fascin. Fascin has a strong sequence similarity to the singed gene (sn) product in ...

A cohort of American students came to Prague for their Study Abroad in spring 2020. They singed up a Czech language course but had leave the country middle term and continue learning from homes. At end term, they were asked write short reflective essay on how motivation learn transformed throughout what motivational factors regarded as key themselves.

We report the electrocution of Korean native cattle by a fallen electric wire, which caused the death of thirteen animals. The owner of the cattle felt an electric shock on touching the steel pen and found a fallen 220-V wire on the roof of the barn; additionally, the roof was singed. Clinically, the animals developed spasm, difficulty breathing, and excessive salivation. Histopathologically, m...
