The results of quantitative evaluation of postradiation changes in lung cancer patients, which were obtained using a new procedure for analysis of dynamic X-ray computed tomography... by V. V. Ledenev, N. V. Nudnov, V. M. Sotnikov, D. V. Baryshnikova

“…The time course of a quantitative change in the median lung tissue density in the areas irradiated at different doses allows radiation-induced lung injury to be detected at X-ray CT until the visual signs of pneumonitis appear. A continuous, quantitative scale of changes will assist in more reliably and accurately studying post-radiation changes at a later time, and the time course of spaciotemporal changes will be able to compare and quantify lung injury when exploring new treatment methods and policies.…”

FEATURES OF ORGANIZING STEAM EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS USING IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES by Наталія СОРОКО

“…This direction, merging technical and creative aspects, requires an innovative approach to the organization of educational projects, considering the new opportunities and challenges presented by virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). Materials and methods. To achieve the goal of our research, we used the following methods: systematic and comparative analysis of pedagogical, psychological, philosophical, and sociological works, methodic literature, and analysis of the pedagogical experience of using immersive technologies to organize STEAM projects at school; synthesis and generalization to formulate the main provisions of the study; interviews and questionnaires of teachers regarding their understanding and attitude to immersive technologies as a means of implementing STEAM projects at school; interpretation of research results. …”

Efficient Region-Wise Packing of Stereoscopic ERP Videos Based on Information Loss Minimization by Hossein Pejman, Stephane Coulombe, Carlos Vazquez, Ahmad Vakili

“…To address these challenges, sub-sampled versions of the left and right views are usually used to form the spatial FC format, leading to a loss of visual quality. In this paper, we propose an efficient region-wise packing method for equirectangular projection (ERP) videos with minimum information loss by exploiting the uneven sampling characteristic of ERP. …”
