IMRT is a well-known and widely used treatment technique for carcinoma of the prostate (PCa) because it permits dose escalation to tumour while sparing normal tissues. In Sri Lanka, along with IMRT, 3DCRT also in PCa. This study was carried out compare against Simultaneous- Integrated Boost Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (SIB-IMRT), Sequential Standard using dosimetric parameters such as...

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is one of the most promising additive manufacturing (AM) methods which provides an exceptional opportunity to improve existing designs and move toward fabricating fine features complex geometries with higher efficiencies. Considering layer-wise nature this technique, possibility tied ability deposit thin layers in process. Since layer thickness directly dictated ...

A cross polarization could be indispensable in certain applications when scanning and digitizing highly reflective materials or couldn’t afford following the recommended imaging geometry 0<sup>0</sup>/45<sup>0</sup> | 45<sup>o</sup>/0<sup>o</sup> for some technical reasons. However, that puts very much color fidelity question, to which exte...

The particle size of wheat bran plays an important role in the quality reconstituted whole-wheat flour and its products. effects on cooked noodles were analyzed; mean (D50) ranged from 26.05 to 46.08 μm. Results show that decreases D50 induced changes noodles. Specifically, damaged starch content, water absorption, solvent retention capacity sodium carbonate sucrose increased at various degrees...

We add inside and outside money to the standard GEI model. If there enough gains to trade via money, then monetary equilibrium (ME) exists and money has positive value, even when GEI fails to exist. The nonexistence of GEI shows up as a liquidity trap in terms of the ME. In sharp contrast to GEI, the ME are generically determinate not only in terms of real, but also financial, variables. © 2003...

We study transactions that require investments before trading in a competitive market, when forward contracts fixing the transaction price are absent. We show that, despite the market being perfectly competitive and subject to arbitrarily little uncertainty, the inability to jointly determine investment levels and prices may make it impossible for buyers and sellers to predict the prices at whi...

We consider a perfectly competitive ex ante economy with a continuum of agents and negligible asymmetric information. For such an economy we recast the basic classical results on the existence of Walrasian equilibrium, core equivalence, and the blocking size of coalitions. Moreover, we examine the incentive compatibility of the ex ante Pareto, core and Walrasian allocations. © 2007 Elsevier Inc...
