the Absolute Volume of pet defined active bone marrow spared predicts for high grade hematologic toxicity in cervical cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation
Clinical & Translational Oncology, 2018Co-Authors: Y M Zhou, Christopher Freese, Teresa Meier, Karishma Khullar, Mickaela Sudhoff, M Lamba, Jordan KharofaAbstract:Hematologic toxicity (HT) in cervical cancer patients can cause treatment delays and reduction in chemotherapy, especially in high risk patients. Dose to PET-defined regions of active bone marrow (ABM) has been shown to correlate with cytopenias. An Absolute Volume of ABM spared may accurately represent hematopoietic reserve and risk of HT. This analysis evaluates whether the Volume of ABM spared can more accurately predict HT compared to conventional dosimetric parameters. Thirty-one patients treated for cervical cancer with chemoradiation from 9/2011 to 8/2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess optimal cutpoint criterions for grade 3+ HT based on the CTCAEv4. Conventional dosimetric parameters to PBM and ABM (mean dose, V10, V20, V40) were assessed as well as the Absolute Volume (cc) of PBM and ABM spared 10, 20, and 40 Gy. The Absolute Volume of PBM spared 10 Gy ( 738 cc of ABM spared 40 Gy (p 738 cc) may be a stronger predictor of HT than conventional dosimetric parameters. This should be further evaluated for clinical use.

ab initio all electron calculation of Absolute Volume deformation potentials of iv iv iii v and ii vi semiconductors the chemical trends
Physical Review B, 2006Co-Authors: Yonghua Li, X G GongAbstract:We calculate systematically the Absolute Volume deformation potential AVDP of the 8v valence band maximum VBM and the 6c conduction band minimum CBM states for all group IV, III-V, and II-VI semiconductors. Unlike previous calculations that involve various assumptions, the AVDPs are calculated using a recently developed approach that is independent of the selection of the reference energy levels. We find that although the Volume deformation potentials of the CBM state are usually large and always negative, those of the VBM state are usually small and always positive. The AVDP of the VBM state decreases as the p-d coupling increases, e.g., in the II-VI compounds. The AVDP of CBM decreases as the ionicity increases. Our calculated chemical trends of the AVDPs are explained in terms of the atomic orbital energy levels and coupling between these orbitals.

Evaluating the Absolute Volume of digital sound source measurement and standard measuring unit
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013Co-Authors: Doo-heon Kyon, Myung-jin BaeAbstract:Listeners do not know the actual Volume of sound before playing a sound source, so they have to adjust the Volume through trials and errors. Moreover, they have to change the Volume repetitively because each sound source has different Volume. If we can identify the Absolute Volume of a sound source at the perspective of listener, the Volume of all sound sources can be effectively standardized. This study evaluated a method to measure the Absolute Volume of a digital sound source and suggested the dB(N) as a measuring unit. The pink noise was used as a reference sound source, to be used for measuring the Absolute Volume. The pink noise was set as 60 dB(N), which is equal to sound output of 60 dB(A). The Volume was adjusted until the pink noise and the target sound matches into a recognizable Volume by reducing the pink noise or target sound source under the given environment. Subsequently, the difference is reflected to 60 dB(N) to determine the Absolute Volume. The accuracy of measured results was confirmed through a music listening test and suggested how to develop the Volume system using the Absolute Volume.
