Abstract: Provided is a refrigerator which allows a pivoting bar to pivot to seal a gap between a pair of doors regardless of whether the door at which the pivoting bar is not installed between the pair of doors is open or closed. The refrigerator includes a guide device which induces the pivoting bar to pivot. Here, the guide device includes a rack that is moved forward and backward linearly depending on opening and closing of the second door and includes a second magnet built therein, a pinion gear engaged with the rack and pivoting when the rack is moved linearly, and a guide unit which includes a guide groove guiding a guide protrusion and is engaged with the pinion gear to move linearly in a direction opposite to that of the rack to allow the pivoting bar to pivot when the pinion gear pivots.

Abstract: A treatment planning prediction method to predict a Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) or Dose Distribution (DD) for patient data using a machine-learning computer framework is provided with the key inclusion of a Planning Target Volume (PTV) only treatment plan in the framework. A dosimetric parameter is used as an additional parameter to the framework and which is obtained from a prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method outputs a Dose-Volume Histogram and/or a Dose Distribution for the patient including the prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method alleviates the complicated process of quantifying anatomical features and harnesses directly the inherent correlation between the PTV-only plan and the clinical plan in the dose domain. The method provides a more robust and efficient solution to the important DVHs prediction problem in treatment planning and plan quality assurance.

Abstract: Load balancing is maintained for communication sessions using session initiation protocol (SIP) processes between multiple active session zones in a first datacenter and a standby session zone in a second datacenter.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a tobacco leaf foliar spraying substance for reducing harmful ingredients in cheroot, a method for reducing carcinogenic components in flue-cured tobacco leaves and flue-cured tobacco shreds. The tobacco leaf foliar spraying substance contains a lotus leaf extract, the harmful chemical ingredients comprise N-nitrosonornicotine, 4-(N-methyl-nitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridinyl)-1-butanone, N-nitrosoanabasine and N-nitrosoanatabine. Foliar spraying is performed on a fertile field by using the lotus leaf extract before tobacco leaves are harvested and modulated, which not only significantly promotesagronomic characters and economic traits of tobacco and alleviates tobacco leaf browning but also effectively reduces harmful chemical ingredients unique to tobacco leaves, such as nitrosamine and nicotine.
