background conservative surgical treatment has been the treatment of choice for early breast cancer. it allows feasible oncological treatment with a satisfactory cosmetic approach and fast recovery. however, in some cases mastectomy is necessary. this study proposes a surgical approach with only one surgical access through the same incision, which is in line with precepts mentioned above. it is...

Moving window concepts are used in temporal query languages for aggregate functions over the dimension ‘time’. In the medical domain, aggregation of patient data over time windows builds a powerful mechanism within clinical database queries to satisfy a class of typical medical question formulations. In opposite to other fields, like the business domain for example, there is the additional need...

Long horizon lengths in Moving Horizon Estimation are desirable to reach the performance limits of the full information estimator. However, the conventional MHE technique suffers from a number of deficiencies in this respect. First, the problem complexity scales at least linearly with the horizon length selected, which restrains from selecting long horizons if computational limitations are pres...

We developed a moving window algorithm for wakefield calculations for our SEDG time-domain electromagnetic code NekCEM. When the domain of interest is around a moving bunch within a certain distance, one does not need to carry out full domain simulations. The moving window approach is a natural choice for reducing the computational cost of the conventional low-order methods such as the finite-d...

A moving window technique for the finite element time domain (FETD) method is developed to simulate the propagation of electromagnetic waves induced by the transit of a charged particle beam inside large and long structures. The window moving along with the beam in the computational domain adopts high-order finite-element basis functions through p refinement and/or a high-resolution mesh throug...
