Third-party brachytherapy source calibrations and physicist responsibilities: report of the AAPM Low Energy Brachytherapy Source Calibration Working Group.
The AAPM Low Energy Brachytherapy Source Calibration Working Group was formed to investigate and recommend quality control and quality assurance procedures for brachytherapy sources prior to clinical use. Compiling and clarifying recommendations established by previous AAPM Task Groups 40, 56, and 64 were among the working group's charges, which also included the role of third-party handlers to...
متن کاملa benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds
uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...
15 صفحه اولA Novel Approach for Direct Preparation of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles from natural source using Microwave
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is one of the most common biocompatible ceramic with wide usages in various aspects of medicine due to the resemblance to the mineral bone tissue. The particle size of HA has a key roll in determination of the reaction rate at the interface of natural bones/artificial. Accordingly, this paper tries to propose a novel approach for the preparation of HA nanoparticles from natu...
متن کاملA Novel DOA Estimation Approach for Unknown Coherent Source Groups with Coherent Signals
In this paper, a new combination of Minimum Description Length (MDL) or Eigenvalue Gradient Method (EGM), Joint Approximate Diagonalization of Eigenmatrices (JADE) and Modified Forward-Backward Linear Prediction (MFBLP) algorithms is proposed which determines the number of non-coherent source groups and estimates the Direction Of Arrivals (DOAs) of coherent signals in each group. First, the MDL...
متن کاملDetermining TG-43 brachytherapy dosimetry parameters and dose distribution for a 131Cs source model CS-1
Background: Monte Carlo determination of TG-43 brachytherapy dosimetry parameters and dose distribution calculation for 131Cs source model CS-1 are presented in this study. Materials and Methods: The dose distribution was calculated around the 131Cs Model CS-1 located in the center of 30 cm ×30 cm ×30 cm water, and soft tissue phantoms cube using MCNP code by Monte Carlo method. The percentage ...
