Let's Make a Difference!

We study the behaviour of iterations of the difference operator δ on streams over {0, 1}. In particular, we show that a stream σ is eventually periodic if and only if the sequence of differences σ, δ(σ), δ(σ), . . ., the ‘δorbit’ of σ as we call it, is eventually periodic. Moreover, we generalise this result to operations δd that sum modulo 2 the elements of each consecutive block of length d +...

Axillary irradiation in breast cancer; does meticulous contouring make a difference?

Background: Due to the current trends towards replacing axillary dissection with radiotherapy, the need for more precise definition for different nodal stations becomes a must to ensure safe and adequate dose coverage. So, our study aimed to evaluate the coverage of axillary nodal volumes based on Project on Cancer of the Breast (PROCAB) guidelines, for cases previously treated with our standar...
