Assessing the Correlation between Cephalometric Measurements In Patients with Class II Malocclusion

 Background and purpose: Some measurements such as angles and planes drawn in lateral cephalometry have different relationships and correlation coefficients which help to distinguish different types of malocclusions. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between ANB, Wits, occlusal plane, and Y-axis cephalometric measurements in patients with class II malocclusion. Materials...

Top Mass Measurements with the DØ Detector

Top quarks at the tevatron are produced both singly and in pairs. However the single top production mode has both a smaller cross section, and more importantly a large irreducible background. When produced in pairs, both top and anti-top decay into aW boson and b quark, theW boson can then decay into a lepton and neutrino or a pair of quarks, and finally the b quarks, and any light quarks (u,d,...

Elliptic Flow Measurements with the PHENIX Detector

Two particle azimuthal correlation functions are presented for charged hadrons produced in Au + Au collisions at RHIC ( √ s NN = 130 GeV). The measurements allow for the determination of elliptic flow without event-by-event estimation of the reaction plane. The measured correlation functions indicate elliptic flow values (v2) which show significant sensitivity to both the collision centrality a...

Rectal and Bladder Dose Measurements in the Intracavitary Applications of Cervical Cancer Treatment with HDR Afterloading System: Comparison of TPS Data with MOSFET Detector

Background: Intracavitary brachytherapy plays a major role in management of cervical carcinoma. Assessment of dose received by OAR’s therefore becomes crucial for the estimation of radiation toxicities in HDR brachytherapy. Objective: Purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of in vivo dosimetry in HDR brachytherapy and to compare actual doses delivered to OAR’ s with those calculate...
