introduction: brachytherapy is a type of radiotherapy in which radioactive sources are used in proximity of tumors normally for treatment of malignancies in the head, prostate and cervix. materials and methods: the cs-137 selectron source is a low-dose-rate (ldr) brachytherapy source used in a remote afterloading system for treatment of different cancers. this system uses active and inactive sp...

It is proven that the only incompressible Euler fluid flows with fixed straight streamlines are those generated by normal lines to a round sphere, circular cylinder or flat plane, flow being of point source, line source plane at infinity, respectively. The proof uses local differential geometry oriented congruences integrate equations explicitly.

The problem of the diffraction of a dipole field by a perfectly conducting half plane or wedge has attracted considerable attention and the literature dates back over half a century. One of the earliest investigations was that of Bromwich (1915) who sought to deduce the solution from a Hertz vector made up of the known solution for the corresponding scalar problem, but it was later realized tha...

statement of problem: considering the importance of the occlusal plane orientation in complete denture prostheses, a study was conducted on the relationship between this plane with ala-tragus and camper’s lines in soft tissue among individuals with class iii malocclusion, in mashhad school of dentistry. purpose: the aim of the present study was to define the best soft tissue index by which the ...

A new high dose rate 20 mm 32P intravascular brachytherapy (IVB) beta source used with automated stepping has recently been introduced. The AAPM Task Group 60 recommends that beta IVB sources should have well characterized dosimetric parameters in water. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations (MCNPX v 2.4) were used to derive these parameters for a 2 mm source segment rather than the entire 20 ...
