Dose Calculation Accuracy for a Flattening-Filter Free Photon Beam Implemented into Oncentra MasterPlan

I en linjäraccelerator som används för strålterapi överförs konventionellt energi till elektroner som skickas i en stråle mot en metallplatta. Då elektronerna snabbt bromsas upp i plattan utsänds fotoner med hög energi i olika riktningar, men i största mån rakt framåt. Den breda fotonstråle som skapas bländas sedan in till önskade dimensioner av flyttbara blyblock i acceleratorhuvudet. Strålen är "Introduction For IMRT treatments, removing the flattening filter could be beneficial, as it would decrease the beam-on time required for delivering a certain dose. The aim of this work has been to assess the calculation accuracy obtained when implementing flattening filter free beam data into the treatment planning system Oncentra MasterPlan.

The Rise of Chinese Nationalism since 1982 reflected in Chinese Cinema.

This study looks at nationalism in China since the 1980s. It attempts to examine whether nationalism is increasing by investigating whether an increase is reflected in the arts, in particular Chinese cinema.

Thai State and Middle Classes after 1997 Economic Crisis

The 1997 East Asian Economic Crisis not only significantly affected the macroeconomy, but also opened a new era for the political economy in Thailand. This paper tries to explore this new era from various theoretical points of view. One crucial feature in this new era is the 1997 Constitution. The argument is that under the new political institution, the Thai state was, on the one hand, in a relat

Constraints on planetary orbital evolution theories from detection of multiple transits

As observations of planetary systems are published from the Kepler mission more constraints can be put on the theory of planetary formation and evolution. This in turn can be used to more accurately tell what really has been observed, such as the frequency and orbital parameters with which a six planet system like the one around Kepler-11 will occur. Even if a system has been observed to have four

The impacts of the British imperialism on the Siamese state formation and long-term economic development

Among late-industrializing countries, the roles of states in economic development and their impacts are different. Some are developmental while some are predatory.

"Så enkelt är det inte" - En kvalitativ studie av styrning inom Stadium

Hösten 2008 introducerades Stadiums medarbetare i verksamhetens nya "formel för framgång", E3. Konceptet bestod då av värdeorden Energi, Enkelt och Etta, med vilka medarbetarna uppmanades att skapa Energi genom att göra arbetet Enkelt och på så sätt bli Etta. I denna uppsats vill jag titta närmare på hur styrning genom reglerad frihet kan gå till, och jag har för detta syfte valt att titIn the fall of 2008 Stadiums employees were introduced to the corporations new "formula for success", E3.
