introduction proton therapy is used to treat malignant tumors such as melanoma inside the eye. proton particles are adjusted according to various parameters such as tumor size and position and patient’s distance from the proton source. the purpose of this study was to assess absorbed doses in eyes and various tumors found in the area of sclera and choroid and the adjacent tissues in radiotherap...

 Thin-walled energy absorbers are used to reduce accident induced damages. In this study, thin-walled stainless steel structures in quasi-hemisphere geometry were subjected under quasi-static loading with Santam 150KN apparatus. Experimental results were compared with results of numerical simulations by LS-DYNA and it was shown that there is a good agreement between experimental and numerical r...

The light state transition regulates the distribution of absorbed excitation energy between the two photosystems (PSs) of photosynthesis under varying environmental conditions and/or metabolic demands. In cyanobacteria, there is evidence for the redistribution of energy absorbed by both chlorophyll (Chl) and by phycobilin pigments, and proposed mechanisms differ in the relative involvement of t...

assessing the behavior of composite structures which are subjected to impact loads is one of the important subjects in the field of mechanical sciences. using thin-walled tubes which collapsed and absorbed the impact energy is a well-known method to prevent damages to the other parts of the structures. in this paper, deformations, crushing length, peak load, mean force and energy absorption cap...

Computational models of the human body have gradually become crucial in the evaluation of doses absorbed by organs. However, individuals may differ considerably in terms of organ size and shape. In this study, the authors sought to determine the energy-dependent standard deviations due to lung size of the dose absorbed by the lung during external photon and neutron beam exposures. One hundred l...

composites materials are widely used because of their high specific stiffness and strength. although the methods and techniques of designing these materials are well developed, however, the research on the behavior of these materials under impact and dynamic loadings are still under progress. in this article the crushing and energy absorption of composite tubes under axial dynamic loadings are ...
