Clinical trials often require homogeneous treatment plans. Many institutions, however, have begun using heterogeneous plans. Is it possible to satisfy the requirements of such a protocol while achieving the superior accuracy of heterogeneous treatment planning? At the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, we currently use conformal treatment planning with heterogeneities for thoracic cancers. This paper describes a procedure that has been developed to satisfy the requirements of a homogeneous protocol, such as RTOG 98-01 (A Phase III Study of Amifostine mucosal protection), while maintaining accuracy in treatment planning.

Institute of Forensic Science, Ministry of Public Security, Beijing, 100038, China.
China's forensic pathology standardization has accumulated more than 30 years of experience, but there is limited research summarizing the features and detailed information concerning these standards. In this paper, we collected documents on forensic pathology standards and statistically analyzed their types, effective scopes, drafting units, authorization departments, promulgation times, revision cycles, and other information. All of the standards information was obtained from standardization websites and databases.

Bulk n-type SrTiO (STO) has long been known to possess a superconducting ground state at an exceptionally dilute carrier density. This has raised questions about the applicability of the BCS-Eliashberg paradigm with its underlying adiabatic assumption. However, recent experimental reports have set the pairing gap to the critical temperature (Tc) ratio at the BCS value for superconductivity in Nb-doped STO, even though the adiabaticity condition the BCS pairing requires is satisfied over the entire superconducting dome only by the lowest branch of optical phonons.

The elements of body composition and their correlation with physical activity, body image, and self-esteem are aspects that require in-depth studies. This link should be seen in the context of the percentage of adipose tissue, which can be modeled via physical activity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationships between the parameters that define body composition, self-esteem, body image, and physical activity according to gender.

In a dynamic context, where market requirements and needs change often, it is important for companies to adapt to new demands as quickly as possible to continue to be successful. To be able to face numerous challenges, however, organizations need to focus on the needs of their employees, with their satisfaction being an intermediate objective in achieving performance. Since technology is a pillar of each business field, the aim of this study is to explore employees' perspectives on the use of technology at work, analyzing its main roles within the company, the benefits it provides from the employees' viewpoint and its implications for satisfaction and performance.

: We conducted a project to manage a high volume of referrals to pediatric neuropsychology. We aimed to manage referrals for children and adolescents without known medical risk factors. We proposed that a clinical neurodevelopmental interview conducted telehealth would reduce the number of patients on the waitlist and identify those who do not need neuropsychological evaluation.
