Background: The present work aims to study the out-of-field photon calculation accuracy of a commercial treatment planning system (TPS), Oncentra, for three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment techniques from Elekta Synergy medical linear accelerator. Materials and Methods: Accuracy of individual out-of-field dose components was...

We prove that the classic 1994 Taito video game, known as Puzzle Bobble or Bust-a-Move, is NP-complete. Our proof applies to the perfect-information version where the bubble sequence is known in advance, and it uses just three bubble colors. “A girl runs up with somethin’ to prove. So don’t just stand there. Bust a move!” — Young MC [YDD89]

This paper surveys recent publications on the new class of layered circuit integration techniques termed 3D integration. We describe both the potential benefits and major pitfalls of 3D integration. Several competing layering approaches are described and compared. We also forecast the impact that a move to 3D integration would have on CAD tools and circuit design flows.

This experimentation proposes a new interaction technique for 3D puzzle solving using a cubic device with five multitouch surfaces. The interaction is based on three levels. First, the device is used to move a 3D pointer (a selection box) into the virtual environment using. Such translations are performed relying on all the device faces. Once the selection icon is close to a piece of the puzzle...

Moving from flatland to spaceland”, this phrase aims at a development in atlas cartography, which represents a move from 2D maps to 3D representations. Navigation thus becomes a central feature of interaction. The concept of ‘3D thinking’ in interactive atlas navigation results in user-friendly solutions, which allows for a smooth shift between 2D and 3D maps and for easy 3D navigation with no ...
