background: in order to assign appropriate planning target volume (ptv) margins, each centre should measure the patient positioning deviations for their set-up techniques. at the royal marsden hospital, uk, a conformal shell (cast) system is used when a stereotactic frame is not suitable. in this paper, we report on a series of measurements with the aim of obtaining the systematic and random co...

Great progress has been made on machine learning and its applications are expanding rapidly nowadays. Through the case study of optimizing a magnetron injection gun for gyrotron devices, functions were investigated by using two supervised algorithms, regression trees artificial neural networks. They showed excellent performance in predicting outputs, exploring importance input parameters relati...

Amicromanipulation system is a robotic device which is used to physically interact with a sample under a microscope, where a level of precision of movement is necessary that cannot be achieved by the unaided human hand It is well known that pick-and-place is very important for 3-D microstructure fabrication since it is an indispensable step in the bottom-up building process. The main difficulty...
