Introduction: The incidence of breast cancer increases with the rate of 1-2% at the world. Radiation therapy is one of the available choices for breast cancer treatment. The single isocentre half-beam block technique is considered as a standard technique to avoid hot and cold spots within the PTV. The major advantage of half beam technique is that the both contralateral breast...

The automatic recognition, including the character, annotation, contour line and so on, is very important in many fields. Here, we focus on the character recognition of the scanned map, because the digitizing map is an important resource data for GIS and automatic recognition character of scanning map is still a key problem, which needs to be solved seriously. In our investigation, which is abo...

the existing studies of threshing process of combine harvesters adopt the assumption of constant mass, which is contradictory to the phenomenon of separation of grains and short stalks in actual threshing process. therefore, the characteristics of threshing and separation are not accurately described. aiming at this problem, this study established the tangential-longitudinal threshing and separ...

radiotherapy plays an essential role in the management of breast cancer. three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3d-crt) is applied based on 3d image information of anatomy of patients. in three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3d-crt) for breast cancer one of the common techniques is tangential technique. in this project, various parameters of tangential and supraclavicular fiel...

Ontogenetic changes in the organization and volume fraction of collagenous connective tissues were examined in the mantle of Sepioteuthis lessoniana, the oval squid. Outer tunic fiber angle (the angle of a tunic collagen fiber relative to the long axis of the squid) decreased from 33.5 degrees in newly hatched animals to 17.7 degrees in the largest animals studied. The arrangement of intramuscu...

In this paper the problem of redirection a crack driven by viscous fluid under mixed mode loading is considered. The includes classical Modes I - III and hydraulically induced tangential traction on fracture walls. effect plastic deformation near tip zone accounted for. Different criteria to determine deflection angle are examined compared.

Methods and apparatuses for reducing the oscillatory motion of rotary crane payloads during operator-commanded or computer-controlled maneuvers. An Input-shaping filter receives input signals from multiple operator input devices and converts them into output signals readable by the crane controller to dampen the payload tangential and radial sway associated with rotation of the jib. The input s...

This paper describes laminar fluid flow through a three-dimensional elastomeric microstructure formed by two microfluidic channels, fabricated in layers that contact one another face-to-face (typically at a 90 degree angle), with the fluid flows in tangential contact. There are two ways to control fluid flow through these tangentially connected microchannels. First, the flow profiles through th...

Biomechanical data provide fundamental information about changes in musculoskeletal function during development, adaptation, and disease. To facilitate the study of mouse locomotor biomechanics, we modified a standard mouse running wheel to include a force-sensitive rung capable of measuring the normal and tangential forces applied by individual paws. Force data were collected throughout the ni...
