lentiginosis prompted eval¬ uation for a unifying diagnosis. Disorders of pigmentation have been reported in association with various cardiac abnormalities, but classification remains controversial. Features of both cardiomyopathic lentiginosis2 and LEOPARD syndrome,3-5 a mnemonic code for Zentiginosis, ECG changes, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic steno¬ sis, abnormal genitalia, growth retardati...

The paper reports comprehensive analysis of different factors affecting uranium content in oil source rocks and the relationship between productivity rocks. data for 13 wells Bazhenov Formation (Western Siberia, Russia) was carried out. measured by gamma-ray spectrometry on core samples. In order to analyze accumulation rocks, we studied characteristics organic matter (Rock-Eval pyrolysis), als...

PURPOSE Currently, there are two described methods of catheter insertion for women undergoing multicatheter interstitial accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). These are a volume based template approach (template) and a non-template ultrasound guidance freehand approach (non-template). We aim to compare dosimetric endpoints between the template and non-template approach. MATERIAL AND ...

Homomorphic encryption (HE) schemes enable computing functions on encrypted data, by means of a public Eval procedure that can be applied to ciphertexts. But the evaluated ciphertexts so generated may differ from freshly encrypted ones. This brings up the question of whether one can keep computing on evaluated ciphertexts. An i-hop homomorphic encryption scheme is one where Eval can be called o...

BACKGROUND Little information is available regarding which type of dialyzer membrane results in good prognosis in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Therefore, we conducted a cohort study from a nationwide registry of hemodialysis patients in Japan to establish the association between different dialyzer membranes and mortality rates. METHODS We followed 142,412 patients on maintenance hemodial...

OBJECTIVES To compare the target volume coverage and doses to organs at risks (OARs) using three techniques that simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) in whole-breast irradiation (WBI) after breast-conserving surgery, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), IMRT plus an electron boost (IMRT-EB), and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). METHODS A total of 10 patients with ear...

This article describes the responsive evaluation component of an educational leadership capacity-building initiative developed at one Australian university and implemented by three others. The project aimed to develop, implement and disseminate an innovative framework to address the national strategic goal to increase the pool of qualified educational leaders. The framework reflected principles...

We propose a method for constructing Dempster-Shafer belief functions modeling the trust of a given agent (the evaluator) in another (the target) by combining statistical information concerning the past behaviour of the target and arguments concerning the target’s expected behaviour. These arguments are built from current and past contracts between evaluator and target. We prove that our method...

ion. LEQ-λ Γ, X :pκ ` F ≤ F ′ : κ′ Γ ` λXF ≤ λXF ′ : pκ→ κ′ Application. There are two kinds of congruence rules for application: one kind states that if functions F and F ′ are in the subtyping relation, so are their values F G and F ′G at a certain argument G. LEQ-FUN Γ ` F ≤ F ′ : pκ→ κ′ p−1Γ ` G : κ Γ ` F G ≤ F ′G : κ′ The other kind of rules concern the opposite case: If F is a function an...

We consider the challenge of creating guidelines to evaluate the quality of a spreadsheet model. We suggest four principles. First, state the domain—the spreadsheets to which the guidelines apply. Second, distinguish between the process by which a spreadsheet is constructed from the resulting spreadsheet artifact. Third, guidelines should be written in terms of the artifact, independent of the ...
