BackgroundA major challenge in breast radiotherapy is accurately targeting the surgical cavity volume.Application of the emerging MRI-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) technique in breast radiotherapy may enable more accurate targeting and potentially reduce side effects associated with treatment.PurposeTo study the feasibility of delivering MRI-guided p
10-Methyldodecanal, a Novel Attractant Pheromone Produced by Males of the South American Cerambycid Beetle Eburodacrys vittata.
We report the identification, synthesis, and field bioassay of a novel attractant pheromone produced Imaging Drum by males of Eburodacrys vittata (Blanchard), a South American cerambycid beetle in the subfamily Cerambycinae.Headspace volatiles from males contained a sex-specific compound, identified as 10-methyldodecanal.In a field bioassay conduct
Perioperative, oncologic, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for special types of renal tumors (hilar, endophytic, or cystic): an evidence-based analysis of comparative outcomes
PurposeThis study aims to perform a pooled analysis to compare the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) between complex tumors (hilar, endophytic, or cystic) and non-complex tumors (nonhilar, exophytic, or solid) and evaluate the effects of renal tumor complexity on outcomes in patients undergoing RAPN.MethodsFour databases were sy
Nonlocality without entanglement: Quantum theory and beyond
Quantum nonlocality without entanglement (Q-NWE) captures nonlocal behavior of multipartite product states as they may entail global operation for optimal decoding of the classical information encoded in the state ensemble that allows local preparation.In this Rapid Communication we show that the phenomena of NWE is not specific to quantum theory o
