Recent research in the field of radiotherapy has brought forth a wide variety of new techniques, which have significantly impacted on the clinical practice of radiotherapy. This electronic book gives an in-depth description of new techniques and their physical principles as well as an overview of new technical developments. Topics covered in this DVD include such innovative subjects as: Inverse Planning – Monte Carlo Techniques in Treatment Planning; Stereotactic Radiotherapy- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy; Image Guided Radiotherapy Procedures – Radiation Therapy with Charged particles ...

A man with no home and no job, Paul Erdös was the most prolific mathematician who ever lived. A wandering genius, Erdös, who died in 1996 at the age of 83, spent his life engaged in a cosmic struggle to uncover truths hidden by a stubborn adversary - God. In N is a Number he describes this metaphysical duel with the same wry humor he applied to politics, relationships and death. The documentary follows him through four countries to discover what makes mathematicians tick. N is a Number presents Erdös' mathematical quest, its personal and philosophical dimensions, and the tragic historical events that molded his life ...

The DVD contains approx. 2,000 images and more than 250 movies of the cell biology and structure-function relationships of subcellular components of plant cells. Most forms of microscopy and most forms of sample preparation are included. The superior quality given by high-pressure freezing/freeze-substitution is featured in all chapters. Particular emphasis is placed on movie recording of dynamic processes in live cells, thus making avaiable events which few teachers or students can hope to see for themselves ...

This is a scientific video about the world of soap films designed for the general public. Few other physical problems have influenced as many branches of mathematics in the past 200 years as have the study of soap films. A soap film is physically similar to a piece of rubber surface which tries to contract itself under surface tension to a surface with least area. The video is completely computer generated. It explains the world of soap films and their properties in an amusing story, in which a young boy explores the palace of soap films ...

In the third edition of the Atlas of the Liver, the authors present (and evaluate) many crucial concepts regarding liver disease using photomicrographs, charts and, tables. The goal of the Atlas of the Liver is to augment comprehensive texts. Every major hepatic disease is thoroughly addressed, along with guidance as to the most efficient and effective ways to treat them. Dr. Willis Maddrey, along with 24 leading hepatologists, has interwoven concepts from fields such as molecular biology with the results of clinical observations and trials in order to facilitate efficient, accurate diagnosis and the use of effective therapy ...

Wolfgang Doeblin, one of the great probabilists of the 20th century, was already widely known in the 1950s for his fundamental contributions to the theory of Markov chains. His coupling method became a key tool in later developments at the interface of probability and statistical mechanics. But the full measure of his mathematical stature became apparent only in 2000 when the sealed envelope containing his construction of diffusion processes in terms of a time change of Brownian motion was finally opened, 60 years after it was sent to the Academy of Sciences in Paris ...
