A small footprint couch‐top support device for image‐guided radiotherapy of heavy patients
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose Patients with body weights close to or above 400 lbs present unique challenges in radiation therapy since the weight limit of most treatment couches decreases as the couch‐top extends toward the treatment gantry. The purpose of this work was to develop a small footprint couch‐top support platform to safely perform image‐guided ...

Statistical process control to monitor use of a web‐based autoplanning tool
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose To investigate the use of statistical process control (SPC) for quality assurance of an integrated web‐based autoplanning tool, Radiation Planning Assistant (RPA). Methods Automatically generated plans were downloaded and imported into two treatment planning systems (TPSs), RayStation and Eclipse, in which they were recalculated using ...

Robust optimisation of the streamlined shape of a high-speed train in crosswind conditions
Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2023 Traditional deterministic aerodynamic optimisation cannot consider environmental uncertainty, which may lead to sensitivity issues. The present study proposes a robust design framework for the aerodynamic optimisation of high-speed trains, which accounts

Directed percolation in aerodynamics: resolving laminar separation bubble on airfoils [PDF]
, 2017 In nature, phase transitions prevail amongst inherently different systems, while frequently showing a universal behavior at their critical point. As a fundamental phenomenon of fluid mechanics, recent studies suggested laminar-turbulent transition ...
