Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the palliative efficacy of localized external radiotherapy (RT) combined with systemic radionuclide (RN) therapy in patients who had multiple painful osseous metastases of different primary origins. Methods Thirty-three patients initially local external radiotherapy was delivered to the most symptomatic region in all patients. Then they receive...

In inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high-energy density physics (HEDP), the most important manifestations of the hydrodynamic instabilities and other mixing processes involve lateral motion of the accelerated plasmas. In order to understand the experimental observations and to advance the numerical simulation codes to the point of predictive capability, it is critically important to accura...

Pulsed plasmas in liquids exhibit complex interaction between three phases of matter (liquids, gas, plasmas) and are currently used a wide range applications across several fields, however significant knowledge gaps our understanding plasma initiation hinder additional application control; this area research lacks comprehensive predictive model. To aid progress experimentally, here we present t...

The twoand three-dimensional ~2D and 3D! versions of ALEGRA-HEDP @A. C. Robinson and C. J. Garasi, ‘‘Three-dimensional Z-pinch wire array modeling,’’ Computer Physics Communications, submitted# have been utilized to simulate discrete wire effects including precursor formation in 2D (r-u plane! and nonuniform axial ablation ~3D!. Comparisons made between 2D and 3D simulations indicate that 2D si...

The poor flexural and damping properties of building materials damages concrete structures affects their service life when are subjected to dynamic loads. Three different dosages (i.e., 0%, 0.3%, 0.6%) organic phosphonates (HEDP.4Na) pouring methods conventional method, 90°-induced 150°-induced method) were designed improve the performance fiber-reinforced alkali-activated slag composites (FR-A...

In this work, the high-energy-density plasmas (HEDP) evolved from joule-class-femtosecond-laser-irradiated nanowire-array (NWA) targets were numerically and experimentally studied. The results of particle-in-cell simulations indicate that ions accelerated in sheath field around surfaces nanowires are eventually confined a plasma, contributing most to high energy densities. protons emitted front...
