Attitude Control with Auxiliary Structure Based on Adaptive Dynamic Programming for Reentry Vehicles by Xu Li, Zhongtao Cheng, Bo Wang, Yongji Wang, Lei Liu

“…And the ADP structure utilizes neural network estimators to minimize the cost function and generate optimal signals through online learning, so as to compensate defect of the main controllers’ adaptability speed and accuracy. Then, the stability is analyzed by the Lyapunov method, and the parameter selection strategy of the ADP structure is derived to guide implementation. …”

Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for cancer of the cervix: current status and future directions by Fo-Ping Chen, Xin-Ping Cao

“…Nevertheless, despite its significant potential, the conventional two-dimensional intracavitary BT often faces various challenges, such as inaccurate targeting of the tumor and excessive irradiation of adjacent organs, which can lead to reduced tumor control and increased radiotoxic toxicities, thereby limiting its widespread clinical adoption and implementation. The emergence of four-dimensional image-guided adaptive BT, complemented by interstitial intercalation as well as three-dimensional (3D)-printed patient-specific applicators and implant templates, has brought about a highly individualized, precise, conformal, and tissue-preserving approach to BT. …”
