PURPOSE To recommend the optimal plan parameter set of grid size and angular increment for dose calculations in treatment planning for lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using dynamic conformal arc therapy (DCAT) considering both accuracy and computational efficiency. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dose variations with varying grid sizes (2, 3, and 4 mm) and angular increments (2°, 4°, 6°...

Background: An ideal therapeutic option should be effective and have a low cost. The first-line therapy of urinary tract infection (UTI) includes cephalosporin fluoroquinolone. Objective: To find out which antibiotic is more cost-effective between ceftriaxone levofloxacin using cost-effectiveness analysis test. Method: study was conducted retrospectively medical records patient direct cost data...

There area lot of mobile computer devices with a variety of applications and users Tend to use them more. Due to the limitations of mobile devices, running most of the procedures are impossible. To resolve this problem, mobile devices can be connected to the grid, to use the facilities of grid. On the other hand the communication mechanisms are different for each device and they cannot be c...

We consider numerical methods for generalized diffusion equations that are motivated by the transport problems arising in electron beam radiation therapy planning. While Monte Carlo methods are typically used for simulations of the forward-peaked scattering behavior of electron beams, rough calculations suggest that grid-based discretizations can provide more efficient simulations if the discre...

GRID directs alternating regions of high- and low-dose radiation at tumors. A large animal model mimicking the geometries of human treatments is needed to complement existing rodent systems (eg, microbeam) and clarify the physical and biological attributes of GRID. A pilot study was undertaken in pet dogs with spontaneous soft tissue sarcomas to characterize responses to GRID. Subjects were tre...

In this paper, photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected inverter which is the core device in PV grid-connected system has been in depth research.An improved predictive current controller has been developed by the Authors for single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverters (VSI).Based on DSP TMS320LF2407A, a 10 kW single-phase grid-connected inverter has been built in this paper.Thus is aimed at us...
