Radiation as an Aid to Analysis
Radiochemical methods of analysis possess some special advantages , such as rapidity and great sensi t ivi ty, and can on occasion provide results which would not be attainable by other means. They are finding an increasing number and variety of applications not only in pure research, but in medicine and heal th, in many industries such as mining, text i les , metallurgy and the oil industry, a...
متن کاملScenarios as an Aid to Planning
In many complex domains full scale detailed solutions to problems -plans and ways to implement them -are not possible or practical. Rather than attempt to produce such detailed solutions, we propose an alternative of using scenarios: a set of 'lsnapshots" of the future that outline possible courses of action, actions of foreign processes, and their consequences. In this paper, we present the sc...
متن کاملAn Approach in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning: A Fast, GPU-Based Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: An accurate and fast radiation dose calculation is essential for successful radiation radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to implement a new graphic processing unit (GPU) based radiation therapy treatment planning for accurate and fast dose calculation in radiotherapy centers. Materials and Methods: A program was written for parallel runnin...
متن کاملComputing Parameter Domains as an Aid to Planning
We show that by inferring parametex domains of planning operators, given the definitions of the operators and the initial and goal conditions, we can often speed up the planning process. We infer parameter domains by a polynomial-time algorithm that uses forward propagation of sets of constants occurring in the initial conditions and in operator postconditions. During planning parameter domains...
متن کاملX3D in Radiation Therapy Procedure Planning
Radiation therapy, an increasingly available and effective cancer treatment solution, involves sophisticated machinery as well as careful planning. Interactive 3D simulations combined with accurate 3D patient specific data can improve the planning process saving time and resources in generating the optimal treatment plan. We illustrate the potential of X3D in radiation therapy, specifically rad...
