Introduction: Intraoperative radiotherapy is a radiotherapy technique in which a high single fraction of radiation dose is delivered to the patient after surgery and Concurrent with anesthesia time. The most frequent method for IORT implementation is Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT), in which, some dedicated and high dose per pulse electron accelerators are employe...

We model a system which consists of a stream of customers processed through three steps by two resources. The first resource, an investigator, handles the first step, in which she collects information from the customer and decides what work will be done in the second step by the second resource, the back office. In the third step the investigator returns to the customer armed with the additiona...

Existing local iterative algorithms for load-balancing are ill-suited to many large-scale interconnection networks. The main reasons are complicated Laplace spectrum computations and flow scheduling strategies. Many large-scale networks are modular and/or hierarchically structured, a prime example being the class of swapped or OTIS networks that have received much attention in recent years. We ...

We have developed a distributed and extensible environment for modeling multidisciplinary engineering problems using the Internet. The system allows both new and existing numerical tools to be represented as components that connect to form complex simulations. Numerically intensive calculations are relegated to dedicated servers, while a variety of clients— including web pages and applets— can ...

In this paper, we address the problem of optimal relay placement in a cellular network assuming network densification, with the aim of maximizing cell capacity. In our model, a fraction of radio resources is dedicated to the base-station (BS)/relay nodes (RN) communication. In the remaining resources, BS and RN transmit simultaneously to users. During this phase, the network is densified in the...

This study focuses on network configurations to accommodate automated vehicles (AVs) road networks during the transition period full automation. The literature suggests that dedicated infrastructure for AVs and enhanced mixed traffic (i.e., same lanes with conventional vehicles) are main alternatives so far. We utilize both propose a unified mathematical framework optimizing by simultaneous dep...

The recent boom in mobile device usage has provided more opportunities, competition and also increased complexities for content providers to monetize their information goods. Although mobile devices are becoming increasingly powerful, their hardware, software and connectivity are relatively more limited compared to desktop and enterprise systems. As a result, various content optimization servic...

When executing different real-time applications on a single processor system, one problem is how to compose these applications and guarantee at the same time that their timing requirements are not violated. A possible way of composing applications is through the resource reservation approach. Each application is handled by a dedicated server that is assigned a fraction of the processor. Using t...
