Abstract Popular society increasingly questions preferences that drive many resource allocations and production decisions, with many groups actively seeking to alter those preferences to achieve changes to resource use. Agricultural and applied economists, who are already equipped with excellent technical skills to undertake consumer preference and ...

This scoping review examined models estimating long‐term radiation risks from repeated mammography screening. While modelling indicates the risks are low, approaches vary by protocol and vendor. Emerging AI tools show promise for improving personalised risk estimation, though further development is needed for cross‐platform compatibility.

Abstract Background Carbon‐ion radiotherapy offers highly precise targeting of tumors while sparing healthy tissue compared to X‐ray therapy. However, this precision comes at the cost of an increased sensitivity of the treatment to range uncertainties, which can arise from anatomical changes of the patient.

Preliminary analysis of a radiobiological experiment for LifeSat [PDF]
With the possibility of performing radiation life science experiments on a dedicated satellite (LifeSat) in space, a combined effort in radiation physics and radiation dosimetry, in addition to radiation biology, is clearly required to ensure that ...

Upright and supine particle therapy of lung cancer: A 4D dosimetric comparison
Abstract Background A renewed interest in upright particle therapy is currently driven by the availability of upright positioning and imaging systems. The upright positioning system could enhance fixed beamlines for effective carbon ion treatments in central body regions, with a substantial cost and space advantage.
