A New Type of Accelerator for Charged Particle Cancer Therapy
Non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient accelerators (ns-FFAGs) show great potential for the acceleration of protons and light ions for the treatment of certain cancers. They have unique features as they combine techniques from the existing types of accelerators, cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and hence look to have advantages over both for this application. However, these unique features me...
متن کاملMetabolomics: current technologies and future trends.
The ability to sequence whole genomes has taught us that our knowledge with respect to gene function is rather limited with typically 30-40% of open reading frames having no known function. Thus, within the life sciences there is a need for determination of the biological function of these so-called orphan genes, some of which may be molecular targets for therapeutic intervention. The search fo...
متن کاملCharged Particle Therapy with Mini-Segmented Beams
One of the fundamental attributes of proton therapy and carbon ion therapy is the ability of these charged particles to spare tissue distal to the targeted tumor. This significantly reduces normal tissue toxicity and has the potential to translate to a wider therapeutic index. Although, in general, particle therapy also reduces dose to the proximal tissues, particularly in the vicinity of the t...
متن کاملCommunity petascale project for accelerator science and simulation: Advancing computational science for future accelerators and accelerator technologies
The design and performance optimization of particle accelerators are essential for the success of the DOE scientific program in the next decade. Particle accelerators are very complex systems whose accurate description involves a large number of degrees of freedom and requires the inclusion of many physics processes. Building on the success of the SciDAC-1 Accelerator Science and Technology pro...
متن کاملTelepresence - - - Current and Future Technologies for Collaboration Gerald
Telepresence is the art of enabling social proximity despite geographical or temporal distances through the integration of computer, audio-visual, and telecommunications technologies. The Ontario Telepresence Project (OTP) has constructed a variety of software and hardware systems to support telepresence applications and it was the mandate of the project to deploy these applications in the fiel...
