Software measures are of paramount importance to evaluate both processes and products. However, collecting such data requires a large effort and this activity produces benefits only in the long term. For these reasons, companies have to use automated tools able to collect data without affecting both the productivity and the process.

In classical computation, a “write-only memory” (WOM) is little more than an oxymoron, and the addition of a WOM to a (deterministic or probabilistic) classical computer brings no advantage. We demonstrate a setup where a quantum computer using a WOM can solve problems that neither a classical computer with a WOM nor a quantum computer without a WOM can solve, when all other resource bounds are...

background: in treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by icru in report 24. the experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...

Objective Isthmoceles have been described as complications associated to caesarean section (CS). Only symptomatic isthmoceles should be treated. The main symptoms are abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in abscense of any other causes, pelvic pain and secondary infertility. There are several techniques described for the correction of isthmoceles. Isthmoplasty can be performed by hysteroscopy, lapar...
