A PROGNOSTIC NOMOGRAM FOR THE CANCER-SPECIFIC SURVIVAL OF WHITE PATIENTS WITH INVASIVE MELANOMA AT BANS SITES BASED ON THE SURVEILLANCE, EPIDEMIOLOGY, AND END RESULTS DATABASE

A prognostic nomogram for the cancer-specific survival of white patients with invasive melanoma at BANS sites based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive nomogram for the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of white patients with invasive melanoma at back, posterior arm, posterior neck, and posterior scalp (BANS) sites and to determine the validity of the nomogram by comparing it with the conventional American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJ

Covariant operator bases for continuous variables

Coherent-state representations are a standard tool to deal with continuous-variable systems, as they allow one to efficiently visualize quantum states in phase space.Here, we work out an alternative basis Wand Accessories consisting of monomials on the basic observables, with the crucial property of behaving well under symplectic transformations.Th
