In this work, overshoot and undershoot effects associated with step-and-shoot IMRT (SSIMRT) delivery on a Varian Clinac 21iX are investigated, and their impact on patient-specific QA point dose measurements and treatment plan delivery are evaluated. Pinnacle3 SSIMRT plans consisting of 5, 10, and 15 identical 5 × 5 cm2 MLC defined segments and MU/segment values of 5 MU, 10 MU, and 20 MU were ut...

We consider a standard Hodgkin-Huxley model neuron with a Gaussian white noise input current with drift parameter mu and variance parameter sigma(2). Partial differential equations of second order are obtained for the first two moments of the time taken to spike from (any) initial state, as functions of the initial values. The analytical theory for a 2-component (V,m) approximation is also cons...

In this paper, we prove Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of $C^*$-ternary algebra homomorphism for the following generalized Cauchy-Jensen equation $$eta mu fleft(frac{x+y}{eta}+zright) = f(mu x) + f(mu y) +eta f(mu z)$$ for all $mu in mathbb{S}:= { lambda in mathbb{C} : |lambda | =1}$ and for any fixed positive integer $eta geq 2$ on $C^*$-ternary algebras by using fixed poind alternat...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we investigate some results on natural metrics on the $mu$-normal functions and meromorphic $q_p$-classes‎. ‎also‎, ‎these classes are shown to be complete metric spaces with respect to the corresponding metrics‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎compact composition operators $c_phi$ and lipschitz continuous operators acting from $mu$-normal functions to the meromorphic $q_p$-classes are characte...

The decay branching fractions of the three narrow Upsilon resonances to mu(+)mu(-) have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 fb(-1) e(+)e(-) data collected with the CLEO III detector. The branching fraction B(Upsilon(1S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.49+/-0.02+/-0.07)% is consistent with the current world average, but B(Upsilon(2S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.03+/-0.03+/-0.08)% and B(Upsilon(3S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.39+/-...

‎In this article we introduce $mu$-filtered fuzzy module with a family of fuzzy submodules.  It shows the relation between $mu$-filtered fuzzy modules and crisp filtered modules by level sets. We investigate fuzzy topology on the $mu$-filtered fuzzy module and apply that to introduce fuzzy completion. Finally we extend Krull's intersection theorem of fuzzy ideals by using concept $mu$-adic comp...

The transmission of Buruli ulcer (BU), caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU), remains puzzling although a number of hypothesis including through bites of infected aquatic insects have been proposed. We report the results of experiments using ICR mice that give credence to our hypothesis that Acanthamoeba species may play a role in BU transmission. We cocultured MU N2 and MU 1615 which expresses...
