Electron therapy is widely used to treat shallow tumors because of its characteristic sharp dose fall-off beyond a certain range. A customized cutout is typically applied to block radiation to normal tissues. Determining the final monitor unit (MU) for electron treatment requires an output factor for the cutout, which is usually generated by measurement, especially for highly irregular cutouts....

Product appearance has been recognized as an important factor for new product success (Hertenstein, Platt, & Veryzer, 2005). A person may prefer a product alternative over others because it appeals to him or her aesthetically (Bloch, 1995; Crilly, Moultrie, & Clarkson, 2004). To design products that are aesthetically appealing, past research on product appearance has strived to uncover which de...

We study the roots of generalised Hermite polynomials Hm,n when both m and n are large. prove that roots, appropriately rescaled, densely fill a bounded quadrilateral region, called elliptic organise themselves on deformed rectangular grid, as was numerically observed by Clarkson. describe region grid in terms integrals their degenerations.

A primary concern of this thesis is to develop principles and methods to compare dynamical systems when they are not necessarily conjugate (topologically the same). The first main body of this thesis provides an understanding of “mostly conjugacy (mostly homeomorphism)” between “dynamically close” systems, which enables us to measure and interpret the distance from being conjugate. We also gene...

A common misconception exists among many scientists and engineers that a patent gives the owner the right to a particular technology. In fact, a patent does not guarantee the right to make or do anything. Instead, a patent gives the patent owner the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling anything that embodies the technology covered by the patent. When multiple organizations own...
