In the last decade we have witnessed a rapid development of various display technologies, as well as a rapid lowering down of prices of existing display technologies. These developments have opened up the new opportunities to deploy computer graphics in our day to day activities. One of these interesting deployments of computer graphics is “Informative Art”, which presents information in aesthe...

Advances in data analytics and human computation are transforming how researchers conduct science in domains like bioinformatics, computational social science, and digital humanities. However, data analytics requires significant programming knowledge or access to technical experts, while human computation requires in-depth knowledge of crowd management and is error-prone due to lack of scientif...

We propose and study a unified model for handling dose constraints (physical dose, equivalent uniform dose (EUD), etc) and radiation source constraints in a single mathematical framework based on the split feasibility problem. The model does not impose on the constraints an exogenous objective (merit) function. The optimization algorithm minimizes a weighted proximity function that measures the...

Purpose: To study the release behaviour of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablet matrices prepared with different polymers in dissolution media pH. Methods: Different formulations slow-release matrix tablets were polymers, namely, ethyl cellulose (Etc), hydroxyethyl (Hec), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Hpc), and Eudragit® L-100 (Eud) using embedding technique. The characterized studies their prof...

In this position paper we discuss why the event action model is important for IoT applications. We report on an analysis about how it is currently supported in some Android apps, the usability and expressiveness of such solutions, and provide indications for the design of new EUD environments for IoT applications able to support it through smartphones.

Purpose: In the current study, using different radiobiological models, tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of radiotherapy plans were calculated for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer.Methods and Materials: 10 prostate plans were randomly selected among patients ...

Objective(s): This study was carried out to boost the pharmacologic influence of carvedilol (CAR) (as a poorly water-soluble drug) by developing CAR-eudragit® RS100 (Eud) nanofibers and nanobeads benefiting an electrospraying approach. Materials and Methods: CAR-Eud nanoformulations with varying ratios (1:5 and 1:10) at total solution co...

Understanding set-up uncertainty effects on dose distributions is an important clinical problem but difficult to model accurately due to their dependence on tissue inhomogeneities and changes in the surface contour (i.e., variant effects). The aims are: (1) to evaluate and quantify the invariant and variant effects of set-up uncertainties, contour changes and tissue inhomogeneities on target do...

The goal of our research in Cultural Heritage is to create applications on advanced devices, in order to provide engaging experiences that can foster people interest in Cultural Heritage. In this paper, we highlight some features of the developed applications to show how creativity, new communication channels and End-User Development (EUD) are used to reach our research goal.
