We describe an eecient implementation of a parallel algorithmic skeleton which supports set membership classiication problems in Constructive Solid Geometry. A performance modelling methodology is developed, which realistically predicts the asymptotic performance of speciic CSG applications.

introduction: human embryonic stem cells (hescs) are pluripotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate to many cell types. their electrophysiological properties have not yet been chracterzed. in this study, the passive properties (such as resting membrane potential, input resistance and capacitance) and the contribution of delayed rectifier k+ channel currents to the membrane conductance...

In this paper, we establish a unique correspondence between skeleton branches and subarcs of object contours. Based on this correspondence, a skeleton is pruned by removing skeleton branches whose generating points are on the same contour subarc. This has an effect of removing redundant skeleton branches and retaining all the necessary visual branches. We show that this approach preserves skele...

-Binary image representation by its morphological skeleton transform has been proposed in the past as an information preserving representation. In this paper this skeleton representation is adopted as the start point for the development of a binary shape recognition scheme. A skeleton matching algorithm is presented that efficiently characterizes the similarity between two skeletons as a distan...

For radiotherapy of organs influenced by respiratory motion using a scanned particle beam [1] rescanning [2], gating [3], and beam tracking [4] have been proposed. For gating and especially for beam tracking a high tumor conformity of the applied dose distribution can be achieved. One requirement to reach this goal is precise motion monitoring during treatment delivery and investigation of tumo...

In this paper, we describe the relationships between pseudo MV algebras and semirings. We also give definitions of automata on lattice ordered semirings, prove that the family of K-Languages is closed under union, and discuss the conditions for the closedness of families of K-languages under intersection, generalized intersection and reversal operations.

Background: In the treatment of prostate cancer, radiotherapy is the potential to increase second primary cancers such as bladder and rectal cancers. The reasons for this potential are more monitor units (MUs), therefore a larger total body dose because of leakage radiation, a bigger volume of normal tissue is exposed to lower radiation doses. This study was designed to compare the integral dos...
