Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Breast cancer is a neoplastic disease with high prevalence among women. Radiotherapy is one of the principal treatment modalities for this disease, but it poses significant challenges. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the technical and dosimetric performance of conventional C‐arm linac systems and a new design, Halcyon, in the ...

Design and validation of a novel dosimetry phantom for motion management audits
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background We present a novel phantom design for conducting end‐to‐end dosimetry audits for respiratory motion management of two anatomical treatment sites. The design enables radiochromic film measurements of the dose administered to the target throughout the respiratory cycle (motion‐included) and the dose delivered to the time‐averaged ...

Algebraic recognizability of languages [PDF]
Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science 2004, Tch\`{e}que,
R\'{e}publique (2004) 149-175, 2006 Recognizable languages of finite words are part of every computer science cursus, and they are routinely described as a cornerstone for applications and for theory. We would like to briefly explore why that is, and how this word-related notion extends to more complex models, such as those developed for modeling distributed or timed behaviors.

A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Open‐source GPU‐based Monte Carlo (MC) proton dose calculation algorithms provide high speed and unparalleled accuracy but can be complex to integrate with new applications and remain slower than GPU‐based pencil beam (PB) methods, which sacrifice some physical accuracy for sub‐second plan calculation.

On the comparability of different programming language routes through A-level Computer Science
, 2020 Fairness in assessment is as important as validity and reliability. When question or paper choice is used in an assessment it is important that the various routes are comparable so that fairness to all students is maintained. Previous literature on question choice suggests that offering choice often leads to significant differences in exam performance ...
