Requirements for Designing an Effective Metallic Nanoparticle (NP)-Boosted Radiation Therapy (RT)

Identifying the technical requirements for designing health portals

Aim: Considering technical requirements in the design of health portals increases the validity of information. This study identified the technical and content structure required to create these portals. Methods: This was a qualitative study which was conducted in 2020. A combination of comprehensive review and interview was used. The search was performed in Elsevier, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Scie...

Guidelines for Designing an Effective Learning Complex for Child Labors (Case S‌tudy: City of Isfahan)

Child labor is an inseparable phenomenon in the s‌tructure of developing countries and third world nations. Numerous claims have been made about the benefits of the learning environment on child labor’s life. Individuals do their activities in designed environments, which can influence them. There were few s‌tudies on designing an educational place for child labors, especially in Iran. The purp...

Hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy: an effective therapy for recurrent high-grade gliomas.

PURPOSE Salvage options for recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGGs) are limited by cumulative toxicity and limited efficacy despite advances in chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic techniques. Previous studies have reported encouraging survival results and favorable toxicity with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, and small studies have shown similar benefit using a shortened course of hypofr...

Designing a Boosted Classifier on Riemannian Manifolds

It is not trivial to build a classifier where the domain is the space of symmetric positive definite matrices such as nonsingular region covariance descriptors lying on a Riemannian manifold. This chapter describes a boosted classification approach that incorporates the apriori knowledge of the geometry of the Riemannian space. The presented classifier incorporated into a rejection cascade and ...
