We describe PerspectaRAD, the first tool for the review and modification of external-beam radiation therapy treatment plans with a volumetric three-dimensional display (Perspecta 1.9, Actuality Medical, Bedford, MA, USA) and a dedicated software application (PerspectaRAD, Actuality Medical). We summarize multi-institution retrospective studies that compare the system’s efficacy to the incumbent...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a collection objects such as sensors, actuators, and processors, which interconnected within specific network to perform task collaboratively. IoT one the prevalent technologies, has developed dramatically in recent years. Its reputation derives from its relevance role employing things best way, starting with smartphones that opened new horizons control technolog...

The lastfew years have witnessed continuous power shifts in the information structure oforganizations. As a result of theses changes, end-user computing (EUC) has been growing at a tremendous rate. This paper extensively discusses the threefunctions oflrformation Centers (lC) to supportEUC in organizations: training, technical support, andcontrol. A study was performedto seek the relationship b...

the purpose of this research is studying the effect of policy research in policy making area. for this, has been used from a model that is presented by dukeshire and thurlow. this model is consist from four dimension; recognizing problems and identifying issues, understanding key issues, supporting a selected plan of action and monitoring process evaluating impact. in a survey among policy rese...

Planning as Satisfiability (SAT) is the best approach for optimally (wrt makespan) solving classical planning problems. SAT-based planners, like SATPLAN, can thus return plans having minimal makespan guaranteed. However, the returned plan does not take into account plan quality issues introduced in the last two International Planning Competitions (IPCs): such issues include minimalactions plans...

In previous work we have investigated a framework for distributed temporal plan repair. Using temporal constraints for activities to be executed, we developed a distributed algorithm capable of dealing with temporal changes (disruptions) in these constraints to perform fast plan repair. This framework, however, did not include resource management issues. In this paper, first of all, we extend o...

BACKGROUND The burden of non-communicable diseases is rising, particularly in low and middle-income countries undergoing rapid epidemiological transition. In sub-Saharan Africa, this is occurring against a background of infectious chronic disease epidemics, particularly HIV and tuberculosis. Consequently, multi-morbidity, the co-existence of more than one chronic condition in one person, is inc...
