the dispersibility of graphene is modeled as a mathematical function of the molecular structure of solvent represented by simplified molecular input-line entry systems (smiles) together with the graph of atomic orbitals (gao). the gao is molecular graph where atomic orbitals e.g. 1s1, 2p4, 3d7 etc., are vertexes of the graph instead of the chemical elements used as the graph vertexes in the tra...

one of known methods for measuring, forecasting and managing risk is value at risk, which recently has been used by financial institutions extensively. value at risk (var) is a method for recognizing and evaluating risk and uses standard statistical techniques that have daily using in other contexts. this research is seeking a career for managing investment risk in stock exchange and selection ...

In this work, organized as a short review, we present some results obtained by applying the Monte Carlo techniques in the Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT). The electron beams generated by the NOVAC7 IORT accelerator have been simulated using BEAMnrc/EGSnrc Monte Carlo code, the dose distributions and water-to-air stopping power ratios being later calculated with the associated software ...

The high density and atomic number of hip prostheses for patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy challenge our ability to accurately calculate dose. A new clinical dose calculation algorithm, Monte Carlo, will allow accurate calculation of the radiation transport both within and beyond hip prostheses. The aim of this research was to investigate, for both phantom and patient geometries, the capa...

Introduction Radiotherapy with small fields is used widely in newly developed techniques. Additionally, dose calculation accuracy of treatment planning systems in small fields plays a crucial role in treatment outcome. In the present study, dose calculation accuracy of two commercial treatment planning systems was evaluated against Monte Carlo method. Materials and Methods Siemens Once or linea...

introduction international commission on radiological protection (icrp) has provided a comprehensive discussion on threshold dose for radiation-induced cataract in icrp publication 116. accordingly, various parts of the eye lens have different radio-sensitivities. recently, some studies have been performed to develop a realistic eye model with the aim of providing accurate estimation of fluence...

introduction today, there is a growing interest in the use of hadrontherapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique. hadrontherapy is considered a promising tool for cancer treatment, given its high radiobiological effectiveness and high accuracy of dose deposition due to the physical properties of hadrons. however, new radiation modalities of dose delivery and on-line beam monitoring play crucia...
