Time‐varying Extremum Graphs

Computer Graphics Forum
AbstractWe introduce time‐varying extremum graph (tveg), a topological structure to support visualization and analysis of a time‐varying scalar field. The extremum graph is a sub‐structure of the Morse–Smale complex. It captures the adjacency relationship between cells in the Morse decomposition of a scalar field.

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.
