Personal conscience and the problem of moral certitude.

29 Nov 2009 The moral practice of nursing requires the difficult work of discerning the best response to an ethical quandary. Determining the right course of action can rarely be discovered by assuming that one value, one theory, one point of view will always ... Read more...

The importance of multimodel projections to assess uncertainty in projections from simulation models.

29 Sep 2009 Simulation models are increasingly used to gain insights regarding the long-term effect of both direct and indirect anthropogenic impacts on natural resources and to devise and evaluate policies that aim to minimize these effects. If the uncertainty ... Read more...

Assessment of spatial uncertainties in the radiotherapy process with the Novalis system.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a new version of the ExacTrac X-ray (ETX) system with statistical analysis retrospectively in order to determine the tolerance of systematic components of spatial uncertainties with ... Read more...
