The proposed database can perform automated analysis regarding quality assurance, dose accumulation for multiple treatments on different machines and can assist physicians in choosing the optimal radiation therapy for new patients. The second article, entitled Likelihood Ratio Test of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Using Uncertain Genotypes for Sibship Data, authored by Qiong Li, Helene Massam and Xin Gao, is concerned with the problem of testing for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of genotype frequencies in the area of population genetics.
