Simultaneous evaluation of 233,235,238 U and 239,240,241 Pu fission cross sections for fast neutrons up to 200 MeV was performed the JENDL-5 library. Experimental covariances were estimated each experimental dataset or section ratios extracted from EXFOR library, they stored in an database dedicated new evaluation. The expressed by Schmittroth’s roof functions, values on defined incident energy...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of hypofractionated accelerated CT-guided interstitial HDR-BRT using 2.5 Gy per fraction. From December 2008 to March 2010, 30 patients were treated for recurrence of previously-irradiated head and neck cancer. Thirteen patients underwent surgical resection followed by HDR-BRT to the tumour bed. Seventeen patients were treated with HDR-BR...

Nearest Neighbor (NN) search is a core operation that is performed in many approaches to object recognition. Once images in the database are represented as vectors or histograms (by whatever means), one way to label the unknown data is by comparing the novel images to the database of training examples; if there is a image that is “close,” then it is likely to have the sample label (i.e. be the ...

We present first preliminary results of a novel method for measuring independent isotopic fission yields (IIFYs) spontaneous (SF) via direct mass measurements, at the FRS Ion Catcher (FRS-IC) GSI. Fission products were generated from 252 Cf source installed in cryogenic stopping cell, and identified counted with multiple-reflection time-of-flight spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) FRS-IC, utilizing well-...

Abstract Every computation presents a small chance that an unexpected phenomenon ruins or modifies its output. Computers are prone to errors that, although may be very unlikely, hard, expensive simply impossible avoid. In the exascale, with thousands of processors involved in single computation, those especially harmful because they can corrupt distort results, wasting human and material resour...

The role of nutrition is especially important in certain ‘lifestyle’ diseases that impact disproportionately on ethnic minority populations. The aim of this paper is to review the evidence of risk, health outcomes and interventions for certain diseases that affect the UK’s largest ethnic minority group (South Asians) in order to help professionals better address the needs of this diverse popula...

High-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays have revolutionized the ability of genome-wide association studies to detect genomic regions harboring sequence variants that affect complex traits. Extensive numbers of validated SNPs with known allele frequencies are essential to construct genotyping assays with broad utility. We describe an economical, efficient, singlestep method for ...
