Aim of the study Our objective was to quantify the accuracy of dose calculation in the build-up region of the tangential field of the breast for a TiGRT treatment planning system (TPS). Material and methods Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips were arranged in a RANDO phantom for the dose measurement. TiGRT TPS was also used for the dose calculation. Finally, confidence limit values were o...

A method to calculate the elastic shakedown limit of transportation systems (e.g. pavements and railways) supported by geogrid reinforced soils is presented. For first time, lower-bound theory combined with a strength-based simulation approach, resulting in rapid quantify benefit geogrids on limit. It allows decoupling stress generation calculations, meaning it straightforward implement, requir...

Methods for calculating Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of the transmission systems may be grouped under Static and Dynamic methods. This paper presents a fast dynamic method for ATC calculations, which considers both Transient Stability Limits and Voltage Stability Limits as terminating criteria. A variation of Energy Function Method is used to determine the transient stability limit and t...

The calculation of orbital fluctuations and of the phase-orbital correlation within Floquet-based noise analysis of autonomous systems requires the availability of all the direct and adjoint Floquet eigenvectors associated with the noiseless limit cycle. Here the authors introduce a novel numerical technique for their frequency domain determination. The algorithm is entirely based on the Jacobi...

We consider the McLerran-Venugopalan model for calculation of the small-x part of the gluon distribution function for a very large ultrarelativistic nucleus at weak coupling. We construct the Feynman diagrams which correspond to the classical Weizsäcker-Williams field found previously [Yu. V. Kovchegov, Phys. Rev. D 54, 5463 (1996)] as a solution of the classical equations of motion for the glu...
