introduction evaluation of the delivered dose of externally wedged photon beams by external diode dosimeters during the treatment process requires the estimation of exit surface dose correction factors in various wedge angles and field sizes. materials and methods a system of absorbed dose evaluation, using p-type diode dosimeters placed on the exit surface of a phantom, was characterized for e...

Background: Dose calculation algorithms play a very important role in predicting the explicit dose distribution. We evaluated the percent depth dose (PDD), lateral depth dose profile, and surface dose volume histogram in inhomogeneous media using calculation algorithms and inhomogeneity correction methods. Materials and Methods: The homogeneous and inhomogeneous virtual slab phantoms used in th...

In this research, the buckling and bending behaviour of smart nanocomposite plate reinforced by single- walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under electro-magneto-mechanical loadings is studied. The extended mixture rule approach is used to determine the elastic properties of nanocomposite plate. Equilibrium equations of smart nanocomposite plate are derived using the Hamilton’s principle based on ...

The effects of laser-induced pre-alignment on the deflection of paramagnetic molecules by inhomogeneous static magnetic field are studied. Depending on the relevant Hund's coupling case of the molecule, two different effects were identified: either suppression of the deflection by laser pulses (Hund's coupling case (a) molecules, such as ClO), or a dramatic reconstruction of the broad distribut...

ABSTRACT We consider the synchrotron emission from electrons out in Galactic halo bubble region where Fermi structures reside. Utilizing a simple analytical expression for non-thermal electron distribution and toy magnetic field model, we simulate polarized maps at frequency of 30 GHz. Comparing these with observational data, obtain constraints on parameters our model. this parameter value rang...

The effects of a transverse magnetic field on an in-line side-coupled 6 MV linear accelerator are given. The results are directly applicable to a linac-MR system used for real-time image guided adaptive radiotherapy. Our previously designed end-to-end linac simulation incorporated the results from the axisymmetric 2D electron gun program EGN2w. However, since the magnetic fields being investiga...

A liquid Argon time projection chamber (TPC) immersed in magnetic field is proposed for systematic study and parameter optimisation in electron/muon charge sign discrimination and muon momentum determination by magnetic deflection. Design criteria and preliminary calculation are described. A proof of principle experiment is proposed using an electron beam of 1-10 GeV/c momentum incident on a pr...

The previous energetic variational analysis of critical loads and of the choice of finite strain measure for structures very weak in shear, remaining in a state of small strain, is extended to the initial postcritical behavior. For this purpose, consideration of the transverse deformation is found to be essential. It is shown that imperfection sensitivity of such structures, particularly lamina...

Background: High-velocity carbon ion beams represent the most advanced tool for radiotherapy of deep-seated tumors. Currently, the superiority of carbon ion therapy is more prominent on lung cancer or hepatomas. Materials and Methods: The data for lateral straggling and projected range of monoenergetic 290 MeV/u (3.48 GeV) carbon ions in muscle tissue were obtained from the stopping and range o...
