We investigated the effect of mixing high- and low-energy photon beams on the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans for patients with prostate cancer. Three different plans for each of twenty patients were generated using either 6 MV or 15 MV alone, and both 6 and 15 MV beams. All the planning parameters, goals, and constraints were set to be identical except beam energy...

This study investigates experimentally the shear strengthening and repairing of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams damaged by heat utilizing near-surface mounted carbon fiber polymers (NSM-CFRP) ropes. The main parameters adopted in this research are rope orientation (45°, 90°) spacing (150 mm, 200 mm). For purpose, ten RC were cast tested until failure was reached. test results showed that us...

Internal gravity wave beams are time-harmonic plane waves with general spatial profile that arise in continuously stratified fluids owing to the anisotropy of this wave motion. In the last decade, these wave disturbances have been at the forefront of research, both from a fundamental perspective and in connection with various geophysical flow processes. Oceanic internal wave beams, in particula...

The Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is regarded as a valuable resource in quantum technology, especially communication and sensing ranging. However, the OAM state susceptible to undesirable experimental conditions such propagation distance phase distortions, which hinders potential for realistic implementation relevant technologies. In this article, we exploit an enhanced deep learning ...
