Occult metastases and survival of lung cancer by clinical diagnosis and CT screening: A simulation study. by Xing Chen, Ghulam Muhammad Kanhar, Songli Hu, Chaomin Wu, Guanqun Chao, Mengqi Jing, Fengjiang Zhang, Millennia Young, Marek Kimmel, Liying Chen, Olga Y Gorlova

“…In a comparative analysis of two simulated groups of individuals: (1) clinically diagnosed (2) diagnosed by screening with a varying screening frequency (quarterly, biannual, annual and biennial), it was estimated that, once the screening intervals become shorter, substantially more cancers are found, but at an expense of a higher radiation exposure. The simulation projected that the mortality reduction in screened patients depending on the frequency, ranged from 15.04% to 18.82%.…”

An Analytical Method for Calculating Short-Term Space Interception Probability by Wenzhe Ding, Xinhong Li, Hong Yang, Zhibin Zhang, Jiping An

“…Firstly, by considering the effect of perturbation force on spacecraft as the effect of external force acceleration, the analytical calculation formula of the short-term state error covariance propagation of space target and interceptor is deduced. Next, by projecting the state error and rotating the coordinate system, the joint error distribution of the target and the interceptor in the calculation coordinate system at the time of closest approach (TCA) is obtained. …”
