Abstract: A dosimetric evaluation tool and method is used to determine how well the prescription isodose volume (PIV) conform to the size and shape both the tumor volume (TV) and the healthy tissue in radiotherapy treatment plans. The innovative, ideal, and universal dosimetric evaluation tools are Conformity Index (CI) and Unconformity Indexes (UCIunderdose and UCIoverdose). CI measures the conformity of the radiotherapy planning, and UCIunderdose and UCIoverdose measure the unconformity of the radiotherapy planning. In other words, UCIunderdose and UCIoverdose reflect the negative effect of dose distribution in planning, and CI reflects the positive effect of dose distribution.

The lid includes two connection tabs that connect to the at least one side. Two corner connection tabs each connect to one of the two connection tabs via a vertical first fold line and configured to connect to a first edge of the top via a horizontal second fold line. The top wall is opened by one of: (1) folding about the horizontal second fold lines between the corner connection tabs and the top; and (2) by folding a tuck-in tongue about a third fold line against an inside of the top and folding the top halves about a fourth fold line in the tuck-in tongue and about the vertical first fold lines between the corner connection tabs and the connection tabs.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for enabling virtual gameplay. Access is provided to at least one video game in which a player is able to interact with the video game according to a storyline. A player location is detected and stored. A local element is retrieved from a database based on the player location and the local element is correlated to a local element script actuatable in the video game. This local element script is retrieved and actuated in the video game to supplement or replace the video game's storyline.
