Background: To compare the dosimetric coverage of the planning target volume (PTV) and the dose delivered to the main Organs at Risk (OARs) in 5 and 7-field techniques of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in patients with local prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients with local prostate cancer underwent 5 and 7-field IMRT planning. The delivery of IMRT was carried out...

Coverage is a fundamental problem in robotics, where a robot is required to visit every part of a given area as efficiently as possible ([1], [3], [4], [5], [6], [8]). Coverage has many applications in various domains, from automatic floor cleaning to humanitarian missions such as search and rescue and field demining. The coverage problem is analogous to the traveling salesman problem (TSP), wh...

Coverage is a fundamental problem in robotics, where one or more robots are required to visit each point in a target area at least once. While all previous studies of the problem concentrated on finding a solution that completes the coverage as quickly as possible, in this thesis I consider a new and more general version of the problem: adversarial coverage. Here, the robot operates in an envir...
