Breast conserving surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy is supported by mult iple clinical t rials as being a safe alternative to total mastectomy. 2 Outlined by Arm I of RTOG Protocol 1005, 1 one current standard of care for external beam radiation (EBRT) is delivery of 50 Gray (Gy) in 25 fract ions to the whole breast with a sequential 12 Gy photon or electron boost to the post-lumpectomy b...

It is shown that a momentum boost technique applied to the extended Kohn-Sham scheme enables the computational determination of the Mott insulating transition. Self-consistent solutions are given for correlated electron systems by first-principles calculations defined by the multi-reference density functional theory, in which the effective short-range interaction can be determined by the fluctu...

In this paper, we propose a new technique used to design a robust controller that is not as high-order and complicated as the ones designed by conventional Η∞ loop shaping method. To overcome the problem we proposed an algorithm called Genetic Algorithm (GA) based fixed-structure Η∞ loop shaping control. In the approach, GA is adopted to solve the Η∞ loop shaping design problem under a structur...

This paper considers a class of switched dynamical systems to which two periodic inputs are applicable. We derive a one-dimensional (1-D) return map and its derivative analytically for arbitrary shapes of the inputs. Based on the derivative, we introduce a slope chart that displays the relationship between the slope of the return map and that of the inputs. Applying the slope chart to a simplif...

We here exploit pH-responsive nanogels as carriers to deliver functional anti-GFP siRNA and superparamagnetic IONPs to HeLa-GFP cells. The siRNA release via pH-mediated endosomal escape is shown. The IONPs act first as magnetofection agents to boost cellular uptake and then as probes to track the release mechanism by electron microscopy.

The term IORT (intraoperative radiotherapy) is currently used for various techniques that show huge differences in dose delivery and coverage of the tissue at risk. The largest evidence for boost IORT preceding whole breast irradiation (WBI) originates from intraoperative electron treatments (IOERT) with single doses around 10 Gy. At median follow-up periods at 6 years, outstandingly low local ...
