PURPOSE Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in image guide radiotherapy technology and a growing interest in the possibilities for adapting treatment planning and delivery over the course of treatment. One obstacle faced by the research community has been the lack of a comprehensive open-source software toolkit dedicated for adaptive radiotherapy (ART). To address this need, the aut...

Introduction Park visitors' travel choices and behavior are longstanding concerns for the National Park Service. Travel behaviors can affect natural and cultural resources and the quality of the visitor experience. Driving park roadways has been central to the Ameri can national park experience since the earliest days of park preservation. As historian David Louter (2006) argued in his book Win...

An important aspect of statistical modeling involves the identiication of cases that have a signiicant impact on certain inferential results. In modeling problems where data is missing , the predicted values for the missing observations are frequently of interest (cf. Little and Rubin, 1987). To assist in the identiication of cases that substantially innuence these predicted values, we introduc...

It is becoming more apparent each day that despite a strong national commitment to excellence in health care, the resources and personnel are finite. It is, therefore, appropriate that the medical profession examine the impact of developing technology on the practice and cost of medical care. Such analysis, carefully conducted, could potentially impact on the cost of medical care without dimini...

Background: Land and water pollution by heavy metals is a universal issue. Although the pollution affects all countries, but its range and severity vary hugely. The pollution of the marine environment by heavy metals is a worldwide problem. Marine sediments can be sensitive indicators for monitoring contaminants in aquatic environments. Methods: The concentration of 10 elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu...
