The organic chemistry occurring in interstellar environments may lead to the production of complex molecules that are relevant emergence life. Therefore, order understand origins life itself, it is necessary probe carbon-bearing under conditions simulate space. Several these regions, such as dense molecular cores, exposed ionizing radiation form galactic cosmic rays, which act an important driv...

Introduction: The functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube with hydroxyl group (MWCNT-OH) due to high aspect ratios (length to diameter), and also excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal characteristics, has great potential applications in flexible electronics, solar cells, antistatic devices, electromagnetic interference shielding, radiation shielding, electrode materi...

Poly (dimethylsiloxane)s (PDMS) are widely used in space applications thanks to their transparency, thermal and UV resistance, inter alia. The prolonged exposure of these materials the geostationary environment leads apparition cracks changes optical properties, this being detrimental function. To enhance lifespan, self-healing PDMS based on a dual network featuring both permanent reversible un...

Normalize the response of electronic portal imaging device (EPID) is the first step toward an EPID-based standardization of Linear Accelerator (linac) dosimetry quality assurance. In this study, we described an approach to generate two-dimensional (2D) pixel sensitivity maps (PSM) for EPIDs response normalization utilizing an alternative beam and dark-field (ABDF) image acquisition technique an...

Despite individual quality assurance (QA) being recommended for complex techniques in radiotherapy (RT) treatment, the possibility of errors in dose delivery during therapeutic application has been verified. Therefore, it is fundamentally important to conduct in vivo QA during treatment. This work presents an in vivo transmission quality control methodology, using radiochromic film (RCF) couple...

High-dose ionizing irradiations can cause acute tissue and organ damage, especially severe cutaneous lesions. These cutaneous injuries often result in further complications and incur high mortality. Therefore, it is critical to develop effective therapeutic approaches for acute high-dose ionizing irradiation injury. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in mediating i...

Nowadays, in most radiotherapy departments, the commercial treatment planning systems (TPS) used to calculate dose distributions needs to be verified; therefore, quick, easy-to-use, and low-cost dose distribution algorithms are desirable to test and verify the performance of the TPS. In this paper, we put forth an analytical method to calculate the phantom scatter contribution and depth dose on...
