An editable rounded leaf offset (RLO) table is provided in the Pinnacle3 treatment planning software. Default tables are provided for major linear accelerator manu- facturers, but it is not clear how the default table values should be adjusted by the user to optimize agreement between the calculated leaf tip value and the actual measured value. Since we wish for the calculated MLC-defined field...

The aim of this study was to characterize the genotypes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) in isolates obtained from Henan, China, and to study the distribution features of Beijing strains in Henan. A total of 443 MT strains isolated in Henan Province were tested for susceptibility to isonicotinylhydrazide (INH), rifampicin (RFP), ethambutol (EMB) and streptomycin (SM), and genotyped by spoligo...

The uid dynamics in a vertical reactor for high pressure vapor transport (HPVT) of compound semiconductors is modeled. The modeling is for the growth of II-IV-V 2 chalcopyrite ZnGeP 2 and addresses the ow of dense phosphorus gas at 3:4210 5 Pascals pressure. EEects of density variations on p-polarized reeectance spectroscopy are also examined. The mathematical model for transport processes is d...

Stigma against mental illness is probably as old as the civilization itself. There are references to discrimination on the basis of mental illness in almost all the ancient books of law. In the well known Indian classic "Laws of Manu" there are references to insane persons (UNMATTA) in the chapters related to marriage, inheritance, feast after death, rules regarding contract and appearance as a...

BACKGROUND Cambodia is among the 22 high-burden TB countries, and has one of the highest rates of TB in South-East Asia. This study aimed to describe the genetic diversity among clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) isolates collected in Cambodia and to relate these findings to genetic diversity data from neighboring countries. METHODS We characterized by 24 VNTR loci genotyping a...

The gait-lab at Klinik Berlin developed and evaluated novel physical and pharmacological strategies promoting the repetitive practise of hemiparetic gait in line with the slogan: who wants to relearn walking, has to walk. Areas of research are treadmill training with partial body weight support, enabling wheelchair-bound subjects to repetitively practice gait, the electromechanical gait trainer...

Diversity measures enable us to understand the extent which communities have been affected by human disturbance. Various groups of insects used as ecological bioindicators these environmental disturbances, but few include both social and solitary insects. Therefore, in variation present study, diversity wasps belonging Vespidae family was measured, distributed three types forests with different...

Cases of infants with life-threatening nutritional deficiencies due to certain strict vegetarian or macrobiotic diets have recently been reported.'-7 It has been suggested that in some instances this should be regarded as a form of child abuse.' We have recently come across infants who have been severely ill as a result of similar nutritionally inadequate diets. During the past 12 months nine h...
