The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the Dosimetry Check system for patient-specific IMRT QA. Typical QA methods measure the dose in an array dosimeter surrounded by homogenous medium for which the treatment plan has been recomputed. With the Dosimetry Check system, fluence measurements acquired on a portal dosimeter is applied to the patient's CT scans. Instead of making dose co...

The cross-check principle was proposed by Jerger and Hayes over 20 years ago. Actually, the cross-check principle consists of a concept and a specific test protocol. The concept, that one test result confirms another test result, is still in use. Their specific protocol is essentially forgotten. The cross-check protocol they described, however, differs from more traditional test protocols. From...

In this paper, we present a digital check forgery attack on check processing systems used in online banking that results in check fraud. Such an attack is facilitated by multiple factors: the use of digital images to perform check transactions, advances in image processing technologies, the use of untrusted client-side devices and software, and the modalities of deposit. We note that digital ch...

A spell-checker and thesaurus for the Bambara language (Bamanankan), based on an electronic version of a dictionary of Bambara, Bamadaba, ported to a standard spell-check engine, Hunspell, and made available (through their respective web sites) for Libre Office, Open Office, Neo Office, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, as well as Adobe Indesign and other software using the Hunspell engine. The ...

Recently, several approaches have been developed to check process models for compliance with laws and regulations. In this paper a contribution is made with respect to reducing the complexity of compliance checking by partially automating business process compliance (BPC) checking. We present a model checking approach that is able to check process models for BPC. In particular, we apply a gener...

This paper proposes a new approach to electronic roadpricing, based on a division of the roadpricing area into cells, each with their own fee. Some of the cells are secretly marked as check cells. On board equipment contains a secure element that is made aware of these check cells and helps the pricing authorities to monitor the user. This approach is not only original but it also improves upon...

Please print out the pdf of your proof on standard size paper (8 1⁄2 x 11) single-sided, and check for accuracy and consistency, making especially sure to check the accuracy of material that only you can verify (such as numerical data or spelling of proper names). Please also check all figures on the proofs for orientation, legibility, and overall quality and initial your approval next to all f...

Murtaugh and I agree on an important point: abandon accept/reject declarations. That alone will go a long way to improving statistical practice. (2) Don't confuse P values or deltaAIC with binary declarations. An argument against one is not necessarily an argument against the other. (3) Be careful interpreting a P value or deltaAIC as strength of evidence. That interpretation cannot be made for...
