We have formulated a unified dosimetry index (UDI) that computes, for any given treatment plan, its deviations in terms of dose coverage, conformity, homogeneity, and dose gradient vis-à-vis an ideal plan (which we define as a dosimetry plan of perfect dose coverage, conformity, homogeneity, and step-wise fall-off to zero dose outside the planning target volume). In order to validate the UDI sc...

Universal Design for Instruction (UDI) in postsecondary education is a relatively new concept/framework that has generated significant support. The purpose of this literature review was to examine existing empirical research, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, on the use of UDI (and related terms) in postsecondary education. The criteria used to select articles included in ...

BACKGROUND Optimizing the patients' quality of life is one of the main goals in the urological management of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. In this study we validated the Dutch SF-Qualiveen, a short questionnaire that measures the urinary-specific quality of life, in SCI patients. No such measure is yet available for this patient group. METHODS In 2015-2016 SCI patients with urinary sympt...

Urbanization is known to cause ‘Urban Heat Island’ (UHI) and elevate storm runoff. However, how urbanization influences local atmospheric moisture under global warming not well-understood. By examining 140 paired urban-rural weather station data (1980–2018), this study finds significant declines in humidity or the Dry (UDI) multiple large city clusters across a climatic gradient China. Global w...

Abstract The application of machine learning (ML) modelling in daylight prediction has been a promising approach for reliable and effective visual comfort assessment. Although many advancements have made, no standardized ML framework exists In this study, 625 different building layouts were generated to model useful illuminance (UDI). Two state-of-the-art algorithms, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (...

Bangunan Rumah tradisional Aceh ( Krong bade ) memiliki tiga ruangan utama, setiap tersebut tingkat kualitas pencahayaan alami yang berbeda. Penelitian ini melakukan investigasi Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) pada ruang rerkait dengan konfigurasi ruangan, bukaan serta iklim disuatu daerah. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk menganalisa performa menggunakan simulasi Climate Based Modeling (CBDM) Ho...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of periurethral collagen injection (PCI) in patients presenting with symptoms of mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) and urodynamically demonstrated sphincter deficiency and detrusor overactivity. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on all patients undergoing PCI from February 1999 to February 2003, during which those with MUI were treated wit...
