Use of Electronic Portal Image Detectors for Quality Assurance of Advanced Treatments
(2010-11)
As the complexity of radiation therapy has increased, the need for quantitative dosimetric evaluation of treatment delivery has also increased. A growing number of investigations have expanded the use of EPIDs from anatomic ...
Laser wakefield plasma accelerators
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2010-01-04)
Over the past several years there have been significant advances in research towards generating compact relativistic electron beams using high power short pulse laser produced plasmas (i.e., laser wakefield accelerators). ...
Fluorine Plasma Treatments of Poly(propylene) Films, 2 – Modeling Reaction Mechanisms and Scaling Part 1: cf. ref. 27
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2010-02-22)
The surface properties of commodity hydrocarbon polymers such as poly(propylene) (PP) can be modified by functionalization with plasma-generated radicals and ions. For example, affixing fluorine to a hydrocarbon surface ...
Diagnosis of quantum criticality by nuclear spin-echo decay method
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2010-03)
The Gaussian spin–spin relaxation time T 2G , as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-echo decay measurements, is found to be useful for diagnosis of quantum critical behaviour in heavy-fermion systems. ...
MDT data quality assessment at the Calibration Centres for the ATLAS experiment at LHC
(2010-04)
ATLAS is a large multipurpose detector, presently in the final phase of construction at the CERN Large Hadron Collider accelerator. In ATLAS the muon detection is performed by a huge magnetic spectrometer, built with the ...
From network structure to network reorganization: implications for adult neurogenesis
(2010-11)
Networks can be dynamical systems that undergo functional and structural reorganization. One example of such a process is adult hippocampal neurogenesis, in which new cells are continuously born and incorporate into the ...
Hamilton–Jacobi counterterms for Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity
(2010-09)
The on-shell gravitational action and the boundary stress tensor are essential ingredients in the study of black hole thermodynamics. We employ the Hamilton–Jacobi method to calculate the boundary counterterms necessary ...
Fractal dimensions of the
(2010-03)
Fortuin–Kastelyn clusters in the critical Q-state Potts model are conformally invariant fractals. We obtain simulation results for the fractal dimension of the complete and external (accessible) hulls for Q = 1, 2, 3, and ...
The present gravitational wave detection effort
(2010-01)
Gravitational radiation offers a new non-electromagnetic window through which to observe the universe. The LIGO and Virgo Collaborations have completed a first joint data run with unprecedented sensitivities to gravitational ...
