the aim of this study is to provide a control software system, based on monte carlo simulation, and calculations of dosimetric parameters of standard and wedge radiation fi elds, using a monte carlo method. gate version 6.1 (opengate collaboration), was used to simulate a compact 6 mv linear accelerator system. in order to accelerate the calculations, the phase-space technique and cluster compu...

Although the membrane process is recognized as a green technology and is considered as a key player in the process intensification movement, it is not widely known that the fabrication of membrane itself generates significant amount of waste. With the growing membrane market, more efforts must be placed on improving the sustainability of membrane fabrication such as replacing toxic organic solv...

objective: one of the major issues in bone tissue engineering is the design and fabrication of bioactive, bioresorbable porous 3d scaffolds capable of maintaining their structure and integrity over a predictable period of time. one such approach is the fabrication of composite scaffolds. methods: in this study we present fabrication and characterization of novel silk/bioglass-composite scaffold...

introduction: multileaf collimator (mlc) is state of the art among the radiation field shaping systems for conformal radiotherapy techniques. some advantages of this system are as follow: reduction of treatment time, higher precision in conforming the radiation field to the projection of the target volume and lowering the chance of errors made by technologists. the purpose of this research was ...

in this study, a mixed matrix polyethersulfone/iron-nickel oxide nanoparticle nanofiltration membrane was prepared by the solution casting technique. polyvinylpyrrolidone was also used as a membrane pore former in membrane fabrication. the effect of iron-nickel oxide nanoparticles concentration in the casting solution on the membrane structure and performance was investigated. scanning optical ...

Semiconductor wafer fabrication is perhaps one of the most complex manufacturing processes found today. In this paper, we construct a simulation model of part of a wafer fab using ProModel software and analyze the effect of different input variables on selected parameters, such as cycle time, WIP level and equipment utilization rates. These input variables include arrival distribution, batch si...

Wafer fabrication is a capital-intensive high-tech sector with highly complex manufacturing processes. Therefore, most of the fabs resort to production dispatching as a means to enhancing production efficiency. The commonly seen methods of production dispatching at the present time are devised to meet single performance indicators. Few methods take into account multiple, or even conflicting per...

300 mm semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities, like conventional semiconductor fabs, contain many different types of tools. In this paper we discuss a realistic way of representing cluster tools in a simulation model of the entire line. A more realistic representation of cluster tools results in greater accuracy in the output of the simulation model.
