A research paper by scientists from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center represented the largest prospective validation to date of AI-based treatment planning for NPC, demonstrating real-time feasibility, robust generalizability, and consistent clinical quality.
The new research paper, published on May. 18 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed and clinically validated a deep‑learning‑based automated planning system that generates high‑quality treatment plans in real time – within an integrated CT‑linear accelerator (CT‑linac) “all‑in‑one” (AIO) workflow.
A nationwide study tracking Japanese adults before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic found that health-related quality of life steadily declined over seven years and did not rebound after the public health emergency ended. Researchers say the decline may reflect the cumulative impact of pandemic-related changes in physical activity, mental well-being, and social interaction among working-age adults across Japan.
How do children learn math? It’s shaped by what they know as well as their motivation and engagement. Historically, research on children’s math learning has been focused on parents’ cognitive practices (such as math talk – informal conversations that involve math), however emerging evidence shows how parents’ motivational practices (encouraging independence and helping children enjoy math) may also play a critical role in their math abilities. Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the United States aimed to address the limited attention on the role of parental motivational practices in their children’s math learning experiences.
Ultrahot exoplanet, atmospheric differences: Researchers discovered clear differences in the atmosphere between the morning and evening sides of the ultrahot gas planet WASP-121 b using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
Temperature and chemical variations: The evening side absorbs more infrared light due to higher temperatures caused by strong winds moving heat eastward, while water molecules decrease in the evening terminator due to high temperatures breaking them apart.
Planetary rotation and observation method: WASP-121 b’s synchronous rotation reveals different atmospheric regions during transit, allowing scientists to analyse changes in light absorption over time and longitude.
