conclusions according to the results, the old dosimetry formalisms, overestimate the dose especially towards the applicator’s tip. while the tg-43u1 based software perform the calculations more accurately. results for a typical arrangement of 10 active pellets in the applicator, the percentage difference between doses obtained by the new algorithm at 1cm distance from the tip of the applicator ...

In the last 5 years, controversy about whether or not gauge transformations can be empirically significant has intensified. On one hand, Greaves and Wallace developed a framework according to which, under some circumstances, significant—and Teh further supported this result by using constrained Hamiltonian formalism. other Friederich claims have proved that transformation never significant. art...

thinkers have always tried to define art with special features in the aesthetic analysis that they are common among all the artworks. but what they were suggested, for example representation and expression, is covered a part of artworks and artistic periods. formalism recommends attention to structural, perceptual and formal elements in order to overcome on these problems as a method in the ana...

Formal reasoning is notoriously long and arduous; in order to use it to reason eeectively in the construction of programs it is, therefore, paramount that we design our notations to be both clear and economical. Taking examples from AI, from imperative programming, from the use of the Bird-Meertens formalism and from category theory we demonstrate how the right choice of what to denote and how ...
