American Association of Physicists in Medicine 40TH ANNUAL MEETING AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICISTS IN MEDICINE Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center 200 East Main San Antonio, Texas August 9 - 13,1998 Available on-line at www.aapm.org American Association of Physicists in Medicine 40th Annual Meeting and Technical Exhibition August 9 - 13, 1998 San Antonio, Texas Scientific Program Director Mary K. Martel, Ph.D. University of Michigan Medical Center Ann Arbor, Michigan Scientific Program Co-Director Maryellen L. Giger, Ph.D. University of Chicago Chicago, Illinois Education Program Director Paul A. Feller, Ph.D. Jewish Hospital Oncology Center Cincinnati, Ohio Program Committee Chairman Robert G. Gould, Sc.D. University of California San Francisco San Francisco, California Local Arrangements Committee Chairman James R. Marbach, Ph.D. Radiological Physics Associates San Antonio, Texas ACKNOWLEDGMENTS On behalf of the individuals listed above, I would like to thank all of those responsible for organizing the 1998 AAPM Annual Meeting. The success of the meeting is a result of the untiring efforts and voluntary time contributed by many AAPM Members. This is a landmark year for the Annual Meeting for two prominent reasons. For the first time, both the positions of Scientific Program Director and Co-Director are filled by women members of the Association. Drs. Mary Martel and Maryellen Giger have worked diligently to develop an outstanding scientific program for this year's meeting. Secondly, a long range goal of the Program Committee was brought to fruition with the implementation of an electronic abstract submission process. With the help of Mary Martel, Bruce Curran, and Headquarters staff, a database system was developed that allowed the receipt, reviewing, and assigning of all abstracts via the Internet. Authors were also notified electronically regarding the acceptance of their abstract submissions. Barring the usual glitches of any new process, it has been an overwhelming success and I want to thank everyone involved for making this goal a reality. Finally, I would like to recognize the Abstract Reviewers, the members of the Local Arrangements Committee, and the Invited Speakers, Symposia Moderators, and Session Chairpersons. These individuals have contributed their time and efforts to help ensure the overall success of the meeting. This is my last year to serve in the capacity of Program Committee Chairman, and it has been both an honor and a pleasure to serve the association. I am grateful for the experience. Robert G.

A227 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS The 1998 AAPM Annual Meeting has been approved for continuing education credits by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc., (CAMPEP). For each hour of verified attendance (this includes scientific sessions, poster sessions, symposia, professional and educational courses), 1 MPCEC hour of credit will be awarded. After the meeting, registrants will be sent a transcript that lists a description of the sessions and the number of continuing education credits obtained. Medical Physics, Vol. 25, No. 7, July 1998, Part 1 1998 AAPM Annual Meeting Program A69 How the Meeting is Organized The numbering scheme encodes the day and time block into the abstract number. For example, for an abstract numbered as TU-D4-5, the TU corresponds to the day of the week (of SU, MO, TU, WE, TH), the D corresponds to the time block (of A, B, C, D, or E), the 4 corresponds to the track number (of 1 through 7). This is shown in the figure below: The organization for each day (Monday - Thursday) is shown in the table below: Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6 Track 7 Block A A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 7:30 - 8:30 am Block B B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 8:35 - 9:35 Break 9:30 - 10:00 Block C C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 10:00 - 12:00 Lunch 12:00 - 1:30 Block D D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 1:30 - 3:30 Break 3:30 - 4:00 Block E E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 4:00 - 5:30 This scheme (above) is used throughout the meeting, except on Sunday. This year, there are two one-hour refresher course blocks, Block A and B. Blocks C and D correspond primarily to the scientific sessions, however there is an occasional symposium in these time blocks as well. Block E is reserved primarily to the afternoon symposia, however occasionally scientific sessions may be in these time blocks as well. In general, Tracks 1 and 2 have been assigned to therapy, and Tracks 4 and 5 have been assigned to diagnostic. Track 3 is used for Continuing Education Courses and overflow from other tracks, Track 6 has been assigned to ultrasound sessions and Track 7 has been assigned to nuclear medicine. An effort was made to keep the room the same for each track, but there is an occasional exception. Poster and Paper sessions are laid out spatially, not temporally like the oral presentations. Poster have a PO instead of the day, and papers have a PA instead of the day. Similarly, EP stands for Electronic Posters. A complete description for Posters and Papers

  • Overview of the SPEC Benchmarks
    9 Overview of the SPEC Benchmarks Kaivalya M. Dixit IBM Corporation “The reputation of current benchmarketing claims regarding system performance is on par with the promises made by politicians during elections.” Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) was founded in October, 1988, by Apollo, Hewlett-Packard,MIPS Computer Systems and SUN Microsystems in cooperation with E. E. Times. SPEC is a nonprofit consortium of 22 major computer vendors whose common goals are “to provide the industry with a realistic yardstick to measure the performance of advanced computer systems” and to educate consumers about the performance of vendors’ products. SPEC creates, maintains, distributes, and endorses a standardized set of application-oriented programs to be used as benchmarks. 489 490 CHAPTER 9 Overview of the SPEC Benchmarks 9.1 Historical Perspective Traditional benchmarks have failed to characterize the system performance of modern computer systems. Some of those benchmarks measure component-level performance, and some of the measurements are routinely published as system performance. Historically, vendors have characterized the performances of their systems in a variety of confusing metrics. In part, the confusion is due to a lack of credible performance information, agreement, and leadership among competing vendors. Many vendors characterize system performance in millions of instructions per second (MIPS) and millions of floating-point operations per second (MFLOPS). All instructions, however, are not equal. Since CISC machine instructions usually accomplish a lot more than those of RISC machines, comparing the instructions of a CISC machine and a RISC machine is similar to comparing Latin and Greek. 9.1.1 Simple CPU Benchmarks Truth in benchmarking is an oxymoron because vendors use benchmarks for marketing purposes.

TO THE ALUMN/E OF THE woman's medical college OF PENNSYLVANIA. PREFACE. T^HE following account of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania was originally prepared with the expectation that it would constitute one of a collection of histories of the medical colleges for women in this country, which were to be embodied " in the as part of the Report on Women in Medicine United States," prepared by Dr. Frances Emily White for the World's Congress of Representative Women, held in Chicago in 1893. The delay in the publication of the large body of the reports of this Congress, promised by the United States Govern- ment, and the receipt of frequent and urgent re- the quests for more detailed information in regard to part taken by this College in the education of women in medicine, have induced the author to publish this report as a separate volume. C. M. Philadelphia^ July i, iSgf. " 'T'HE history of the movement for introducing wo- men into the full practice of the medical profes- sion is one of the most interesting of modern times.

My name is Shayne Hodge. This is July 29, 2013 at the afternoon in the Computer History Museum. We have with us today the founders of 3dfx, a graphics company from the 1990s of considerable influence. From left to right on the camera-- I'll let you guys introduce yourselves. Gary Tarolli: I'm Gary Tarolli. Scott Sellers: I'm Scott Sellers. Ross Smith: Ross Smith. Gordon Campbell: And Gordon Campbell. Hodge: And so why don't each of you take about a minute or two and describe your lives roughly up to the point where you need to say 3dfx to continue describing them. Tarolli: All right. Where do you want us to start? Hodge: Birth. Tarolli: Birth. Oh, born in New York, grew up in rural New York. Had a pretty uneventful childhood, but excelled at math and science. So I went to school for math at RPI [Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute] in Troy, New York. And there is where I met my first computer, a good old IBM mainframe that we were just talking about before [this taping], with punch cards. So I wrote my first computer program there and sort of fell in love with computer. So I became a computer scientist really. So I took all their computer science courses, went on to Caltech for VLSI engineering, which is where I met some people that influenced my career life afterwards.

  • History of RAMPS
    The Radiological and Medical Physics Society of New York RAMPS 1948 – 2021 The Earliest Organization of Medical Physicists in the United States Radiological and Medical Physics Society of New York History of RAMPS During the mid 1940’s, physicists associated with medical institutions in the metropolitan New York City region commenced meetings to compare instrumentation and their measurements of the quantity of radioactivity in solutions in medical use. This was necessary for uniformity, and also for accuracy since the national standard available appeared to be inconsistent. This was just prior to the availability of megavoltage x rays and electrons, and the primary concern of the physicists was associated with the uses of radioactive nuclides. The clinical uses of iodine-131 and other radionuclides (phosphorus- 32, yttrium-90, etc.) were being actively explored and agreement on the amount of activity being administered was essential. Such measurements led to the ‘‘New York Millicurie,” which served a vital purpose. By 1948 the meetings of these medical physicists were on a scheduled basis with elected officers and records. Those initially active in RAMPS included Mones Berman, Hanson Blatz, Carl Braestrup, Giacchino Failla, Sergei Feitelberg, Elizabeth Focht, Hiram Hart, Lillian Jacobson, Robert Loevinger, Leo Marinelli, Eleanor Oshry, Edith Quimby, Edward Siegel, Aaron Yalow, Rosalyn Yalow, and others. This group established the measurement procedure for the ‘‘New York Millicurie,’’ and their meetings served both scientific and professional functions. A constitution was written in 1954 by R. Yalow and J. Laughlin, and revised in 1957 by them. RAMPS has continued to grow from its modest beginning to a current membership of about 150 and conducts monthly meetings which are well attended.

JOHNSTON OF STROUDWATER. 89 INDEX 105 INTRODUCTION 'I'HE title of this pamphlet, The Ancestry of James Patten, is to a great extent deceptive, for on the paternal side James Patten's father is his only "ancestor" now, or likely to be, discovered, while on the maternal side we can trace a slight three generations to a shadowy great-grandfather. However, the pamphlet is the sev­ enth in a series dealing with the ancestry of my great-great­ grandparents, and for the sake of uniformity it is so entitled. Actually it deals with the descendants of six men who emigrated to New England in the early years of the eighteenth century, four of them being the brothers Matthew Patten of Biddeford, Hector Patten of Saco, Robert Patten of Arundel, and '\Villiam Patten of Boston. The fifth, ·william Patten of Wells, presumably a close kinsman of the brothers, is included as by so doing all of the Pat­ ten emigrants who settled in Maine are conveniently grouped in one volume, while the sixth, James Johnston, finds an appropriate place herein as his granddaughter was James Patten's mother. All of these men were of Scotch descent, springing from fami­ lies which left Scotland in the seventeenth century, encouraged by the British government, to settle in the northern counties of Ireland which formed the ancient kingdom of Ulster, where they became a tough and unwelcome minority.

Co ok www.cs.princeton.edu/~ ianbuck/turbulent January 5, 1998 Abstract The basis for the rst part of this work was to explore what is involved in simulating turbulent ow using an already existing mathematical mo del. This includes implementing a complete optimized C version of the mo del and simulating owmodelssuch as acoustical instruments. The second part of this work explores alternative metho ds of calculation for ow simulation using the graphics hardware as a mathematical engine. We present a few di erent metho ds to use the accelerated framebu er to p erform some of the calculations required in ow simulation. Part I Simulating Turbulent Flow 1 Intro duction Research in application of uid ow simulation has been an active topic in computer graphics for over a decade. Such visual e ects as simulated smoke, re, and liquids are all typically based on top of a mathematical mo del which graphics researchers have b een trying to improve through to day. There have been endless pap ers published in the ACM SIGGRAPH pro ceedings in '97, '95, '93, '91, '90, and continuing back through '86 with a pap er dedicated to how the swirling atmosphere of Jupiter was simulated for the movie \2010" (Yeager et al, 1986). The primary diculty in creating such visually stimulating e ects, suchas simple candle smoke isthatanintensive computational simulation is required. To provide results which app ear accurate, such calculations can b e extensive and quite slow.
