Out‐of‐field neutron radiation from clinical proton, helium, carbon, and oxygen ion beams
Abstract Background In hadron therapy, out‐of‐field doses, which may in the long‐term cause secondary cancers, are mostly due to neutrons. Very recently, 4He and 16O beams have been added to protons and 12C ions for clinical therapy. Purpose The focus of this article is to compare secondary neutron doses produced by clinical protons, 4He, 12C, and 16O ...

A Study of an Asymmetric Flow in an Overexpanded Rocket Nozzle
This paper presents an investigation of the unsteady three-dimensional flow in an overexpanded rocket nozzle during a shutdown transient. Experimental and numerical investigations were carried out. It is known that, in some cases, an asymmetric flow induces a serious lateral force called “side load” during transient operations. The focus of

Nanosecond Hyperquenching for Electron Cryo‐Microscopy Without Air‐Water Interface Artifacts
A novel method for the ultrafast vitrification of the biological assemblies is assayed by the electron cryotomography. Protein specimens prepared by this method inherently lack the spatial/structural artifacts, which derive from the surface tension at the air‐water interface (AWI).
