On the Alexandrov Topology of sub-Lorentzian Manifolds

open access: yes, 2013
It is commonly known that in Riemannian and sub-Riemannian Geometry, the metric tensor on a manifold defines a distance function. In Lorentzian Geometry, instead of a distance function it provides causal relations and the Lorentzian time-separation ...

Evaluation of the effect of metal stents on dose perturbation in the carbon beam irradiation field

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propose Carbon ion therapy is indicated for cases in which stents have been inserted, such as bile ducts, but the effect of metal stents on carbon ion therapy is unclear. In this study, the dose perturbation of carbon ion therapy caused by metallic bile duct stents was evaluated by dosimetry. Materials and methods Five different types of metal

Linked Hom spaces [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
In this note, we describe a theory of linked Hom spaces which complements that of linked Grassmannians. Given two chains of vector bundles linked by maps in both directions, we give conditions for the space of homomorphisms from one chain to the other to be itself represented by a vector bundle. We apply this to present a more transparent version of an

Intercusp Geodesics and Cusp Shapes of Fully Augmented Links

open access: yes, 2017
We study the geometry of fully augmented link complements in $S^3$ by looking at their link diagrams. We extend the method introduced by Thistlethwaite and Tsvietkova to fully augmented links and define a system of algebraic equations in terms of ...

Stereotactic radiotherapy for metastatic brain tumors: A comparative analysis of dose distributions among VMAT, Helical TomoTherapy, CyberKnife, Gamma Knife, and ZAP‐X

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates various radiotherapy techniques for treating metastatic brain tumor (BT), focusing on non‐coplanar volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (NC‐VMAT), coplanar VMAT (C‐VMAT), Helical TomoTherapy (HT), CyberKnife (CK), Gamma Knife (GK), and ZAP‐X.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

Chen’s Ricci inequalities and topological obstructions on null hypersurfaces of a Lorentzian manifold

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
Given a null hypersurface of a Lorentzian manifold, we isometrically immerse a null hypersurface equipped with the Riemannian metric (induced on it by the rigging) into a Riemannian manifold suitably constructed on the Lorentzian manifold.

Topology of strongly polar weighted homogeneous links [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
We consider a canonical $S^1$ action on $S^3$ which is defined by $(\rho,(z_1,z_2))\mapsto (z_1\rho^p,z_2\rho^q)$ for $\rho\in S^1$ and $(z_1,z_2)\in S^3\subset {\mathbb C}^2$. We consider a link consisting of finite orbits of this action, which some of the orbits are reversely oriented.

Computer code to interchange CDS and wave-drag geometry formats [PDF]

open access: yes
A computer program has been developed on the PRIME minicomputer to provide an interface for the passage of aircraft configuration geometry data between the Rockwell Configuration Development System (CDS) and a wireframe geometry format used by ...

Monte Carlo modeling of radiation dose from radiation therapy with superficial x‐rays

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Superficial x‐rays (50–100 kVp) are used for treating non‐melanoma skin cancer and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). At these energies, the photoelectric effect significantly increases absorbed dose to bone compared to soft tissue.
