INTRODUCTION Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) bounce after brachytherapy has been well-documented. This phenomenon has also been identified in patients undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). While the parameters that predict PSA bounce have been extensively studied in prostate brachytherapy patients, this study is the first to analyze the clinical and pathologic predictors of PSA...

Climate change is negatively affecting people's health, safety, and well-being. Therefore, it crucial to understand whether people perceive they have the capacity adapt climate change. Most studies on can focus preventing negative outcomes ability ‘bounce back’. We propose that adaptation may positive consequences too. introduce construct of transilience capture perceived persist, flexibly, pos...

In this paper, a signal processing technique is developed to reduce clutter due to ground bounce in ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements. This technique is especially useful when a GPR is used to detect subsurface antipersonnel mines. The GPR clutter is modeled using a simple parametric model. Buried mine and clutter contributions are separated through a pair of coupled iterative procedu...
