PURPOSE: OAR delineation accuracy influences: (i) a patient's optimised dose distribution (PD), (ii) the reported doses (RD) presented at approval, which represent plan quality. This study utilised a novel dosimetric validation methodology, comprehen...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are becoming widespread in all aspects of society, bringing benefits to the whole economy. There is a growing understanding of the potential benefits and risks of this type of technology. While the benefits are mo...
BACKGROUND: Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) is a standardized semi-quantitative method for early ischemic changes in acute ischemic stroke.
The objective of this research is to simulate an automatic fuelling system using a PLC LogixPro simulation. The system includes the "FASS" concept, which is Fast, Accurate, Safe and Simple, to allow car users to have an efficient fuel filling system....
