The ALARP Principle in the Cost-Benefit Analysis for the Acceptability of Investment Risk

Sustainability, 2018
The process of allocating financial resources is extremely complex—both because the selection of investments depends on multiple, and interrelated, variables, and constraints that limit the eligibility domain of the solutions, and because the feasibility

A comparative analysis of deep learning architectures with data augmentation and multichannel input for locoregional breast cancer radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Studies on deep learning dose prediction increasingly focus on 3D models with multiple input channels and data augmentation, which increases the training time and thus also the environmental burden and hampers the ease of re‐training. Here we compare 2D and 3D U‐Net models with clinical accepted plans to evaluate the appropriateness of

Moving beyond benefit–cost analysis of climate change

Environmental Research Letters, 2013
The conventional benefit–cost approach to understanding the climate problem has serious limitations. Fortunately, an alternative way of thinking about the problem has arisen in recent decades, based on analyzing the cost effectiveness of achieving a ...

Possible Value Analysis based on Symbolic Lattice [PDF]

arXiv
We propose a new static program analysis called program behavior analysis. The analysis aims to calculate possible symbolic expressions for every variable at each program point. We design a new lattice, transfer function, and widening operator to accommodate the analysis. Furthermore, we extend the analysis to interprocedural.

Quantification and dosimetric impact of intra‐fractional bladder changes during CBCT‐guided online adaptive radiotherapy for pelvic cancer treatments

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study quantitatively evaluates bladder changes and their dosimetric impact during the on‐couch adaptive process on a commercial CBCT‐based online adaptive radiotherapy (CT‐gART) platform. Methods Data from 183 fractions of ten patients receiving online ART for pelvic cancers were analyzed retrospectively.

Semi‐automated hippocampal avoidance whole‐brain radiotherapy planning

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hippocampal avoidance whole‐brain radiotherapy (HA‐WBRT) is designed to spare cognitive function by reducing radiation dose to the hippocampus during the treatment of brain metastases. Current manual planning methods can be time‐consuming and may vary in quality, necessitating the development of automated approaches to streamline ...

Immunization against Haemophilus influenzae type b in Iran; Cost-utility and cost-benefit analyses

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2012
Background: Haemophilus Influenzae type b (Hib) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Although its burden is considerably preventable by vaccine, routine vaccination against Hib has not been defined in the National Immunization ...

Position‐dependent offset corrections for ring applicator reconstruction in cervical cancer brachytherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Due to the tight curvature in their design, ring applicators are usually associated with large positioning errors. The standard practice to correct for these deviations based on global offsets may not be sufficient to comply with the recommended tolerance.
