Due to the angulation of the breast board used for tangential breast irradiation, additional normal lung tissues are included in the supraclavicular field. This work investigates a method to reduce the lung volume and dose delivered during supraclavicular irradiation for breast cancer. Ten patients included for this retrospective study received chest wall and supraclavicular irradiation followi...

We investigated the relative effectiveness of tangential versus normal displacements of skin for eliciting tactile sensations. Subjects adjusted the magnitude of slow tangential and oblique displacements of a cylindrical, flat-ended 1 mm diameter probe glued to the skin in order to match the perceived intensity of a reference displacement that indented the skin normal to the surface. At both th...

We propose a framework for the spectral processing of tangential vector fields on surfaces. The basis is a Fourier-type representation of tangential vector fields that associates frequencies with tangential vector fields. To implement the representation for piecewise constant tangential vector fields on triangle meshes, we introduce a discrete Hodge–Laplace operator that fits conceptually to th...

We propose a new method of tangential redistribution of points by controlling the tangential motion in curvature driven flow of plane curves. The tangential velocity is designed by taking into account the shape of curves. It is based on combination of method of asymptotic uniform redistribution and the tangential velocity in crystalline curvature flow equations.

Through the Loewner equation, real-valued driving functions generate sets called hulls. We analyze that approach 0 at least as fast \(a (T-t)^r\) \(t \to T\), where \(r \in (0, 1/2)\), and show corresponding hulls have tangential behavior time \(T\). also prove a result about trace existence apply it to driven by \(a(T-t)^r\) for (0,1/2)\) curve.
