STUDY PROTOCOL: OPTIMISING PATIENT POSITIONING FOR THE PLANNING OF ACCELERATED PARTIAL BREAST RADIOTHERAPY FOR THE INTEGRATED MAGNETIC RESONANCE LINEAR ACCELERATOR: OPRAH MRL

Study protocol: Optimising patient positioning for the planning of accelerated partial breast radiotherapy for the integrated magnetic resonance linear accelerator: OPRAH MRL

Abstract Background Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is an accepted treatment option for early breast cancer.Treatment delivered on the Magnetic Resonance integrated Linear Accelerator (MRL) provides the added assurance of improved soft tissue visibility, important in the delivery of APBI.This technique can be delivered in both the sup

Evaluating uncertainty: the impact of the sampling and assessment design on statistical inference in the context of ILSA

Abstract This paper informs users of data collected in international large-scale assessments (ILSA), by presenting argumentsunderlining the importance of considering two design features employed in these studies.We examine a commonmisconception stating that the uncertainty arising from the assessment design is negligible compared with that arisingf

Effect of La2O3 on the corrosion resistance of alumina ceramic

Alumina ceramics are widely used because of chemical corrosion resistance.Although alumina ceramics can resist many strong acids and organic acids, be corroded easily by HF due to silicon components in raw materials.This work aimed to reveal the effect of La2O3 on HF/HCl resistance of the alumina ceramic containing SiO2.The X-ray diffractometer (XR
