Abstract Introduction The use of radioactive materials in the United States has been tightly regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other entities for many decades. In 2015, however, the Joint Commission began to require hospital‐based nuclear medicine departments to conduct shielding designs and evaluations for radioactive material areas ...

Coxeter Decompositions of Hyperbolic Tetrahedra [PDF]
We classify Coxeter decompositions of hyperbolic tetrahedra, i.e. simplices in the hyperbolic space H^3. The paper completes the classification of Coxeter decompositions of hyperbolic simplices.

A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
Abstract Purpose Open‐source GPU‐based Monte Carlo (MC) proton dose calculation algorithms provide high speed and unparalleled accuracy but can be complex to integrate with new applications and remain slower than GPU‐based pencil beam (PB) methods, which sacrifice some physical accuracy for sub‐second plan calculation.

Effect of decomposition on clothing damage evidence: A preliminary study
Textiles are generally present when a crime takes place and, in some cases, may be directly linked to a crime. Due to changes that occur to fabric over time, there is a risk of clothing damage being misinterpreted, and vital evidence being missed.

Introduction: This study quantified stroke-related changes in the following: (1) the averaged discharge rate of motor units (individually tracked and untracked) identified from high-density electromyography (HD-EMG) recordings, (2) global muscle EMG ...

Decomposition of Large Scale Linear Programming Problems Containing both Linking Variables and Constraints via Accuracy Certificates [PDF]
Several well known large scale linear programming decomposition methodologies exist. Benders Decomposition, which covers the case where some small subset of variables link the otherwise separable subproblems. Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and Lagrangian decompositions, which cover the case where some few constraints link the otherwise separable ...

Early Language Impairment as an Integral Part of the Cognitive Phenotype in Huntington's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Huntington's disease (HD) speech/language disorders have typically been attributed to motor and executive impairment due to striatal dysfunction. In‐depth study of linguistic skills and the role of extrastriatal structures in HD is scarce.

Plane Decompositions as Tools for Approximation [PDF]
Tree decompositions were developed by Robertson and Seymour. Since then algorithms have been developed to solve intractable problems efficiently for graphs of bounded treewidth. In this paper we extend tree decompositions to allow cycles to exist in the decomposition graph; we call these new decompositions plane decompositions because we require that ...

An abstract decomposition of measures and its many applications [PDF]
We consider a little-known abstract decomposition result, due to Dellacherie, and show that it yields many decompositions of measures, several of which are new. Then, we investigate how the outputs of the decomposition depend on its inputs, in particular characterising the two elements of the decomposition as projections in the sense of Riesz spaces ...

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy
ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...
