Total body irradiation in Australia and New Zealand: results of a practice survey
Total body irradiation (TBI) is an important treatment modality for the preparation of patients for bone marrow transplants. It is technically challenging and the actual delivery may vary from clinic to clinic...

Outcome of patients with early-stage follicular lymphoma staged with 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and treated with radiotherapy alone
To evaluate the impact of positron emission tomography (PET) staging on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with early-stage (stages I and II) follicular lymphoma (ESFL) treat...

Primary Testicular Lymphoma
Adjuvant testicular irradiation is a component of standard care for patients with stage I–II primary testicular lymphomas following anthracycline-based chemotherapy and improves both local disease control and ...

The query complexity of estimating weighted averages
The query complexity of estimating the mean of some [0, 1] variables is understood. Inspired by some work by Carterette et al. on evaluating retrieval systems, and by Moffat and Zobel’s new proposal for such e...

On-line machine scheduling with batch setups
We study a class of scheduling problems with batch setups for the online-list and online-time paradigms. Jobs are to be scheduled in batches for processing. All jobs in a batch start and complete together, and...

The Rationale Behind Seeking Inspiration from Nature
There are currently numerous heuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimisation problems which are commonly described as nature-inspired. Parallels can certainly be drawn between these algorithms and various ...

Information Theoretic Classification of Problems for Metaheuristics
This paper proposes a model for metaheuristic research which recognises the need to match algorithms to problems. An empirical approach to producing a map** from problems to algorithms is presented. This map...

Large Scale Linear Programs and Heuristics for the Design of Survivable Telecommunication Networks
We consider the problem of providing a minimum cost multi-service network subject to one link failure scenarios. We assume our network is fully meshed and demand is satisfied by using direct or two hop-paths. ...

Planning of Transport Networks based on Photonic and Electronic Cross-Connection
This paper deals with the problem of dynamic allocation of bandwidth in a hierarchical transport platform comprised of both broadband (optical) and wideband (ATM) crossconnects. The crossconnect platforms will...

A New Heuristic for a Single Machine Scheduling Problem with Set-up Times
This paper examines the problem of scheduling jobs on a single machine with set-up times. The jobs are divided into mutually exclusive classes and a set-up task is required when processing switches from a job ...

Measuring Differences Between Cognitive Maps
A causal cognitive map is a directed network representation of an individual's beliefs concerning a particular domain at a point of time. The nodes and the arcs joining them indicate causal beliefs. There have...
