FEASIBILITY OF POSTOPERATIVE SPINE STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIATION THERAPY IN PROXIMITY OF CARBON AND TITANIUM HYBRID IMPLANTS USING A ROBOTIC RADIOTHERAPY DEVICE

Abstract Background and purpose To assess the feasibility of postoperative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with hybrid implants consisting of carbon fiber reinforced verona wig polyetheretherketone and titanium (CFP-T) using CyberKnife.Materials and methods All essential steps within a radiation therapy (RT) workflow were ev

Cable incipient fault (CIF) is a potential fault which may recur over time and evolve into permanent fault eventually.The identification of CIF can help to reduce read more the likelihood of a permanent fault and enhance power supply reliability.This paper fully considers the randomness and uncertainty of CIF waveforms, and proposes a CIF identific

Summary: Eye color is highly variable in populations with European ancestry, ranging from low to high quantities of melanin in the iris.Polymorphisms in the HERC2/OCA2 locus have the largest effect on eye color in these populations, although other genomic regions also influence eye color.We performed genome-wide association studies of eye poise pad

Abstract Camels are the most adapted species to the harsh conditions of arid/semi-arid rangelands of Ethiopia where pastoralism is edgewater shoes the dominant mode of life and mobility is an inherent strategy to efficiently utilize the spatially and temporally distributed pasture and water resources.Usually, large numbers of camels and other domes
