Automatic skin flash optimization in breast and chestwall VMAT with static angle modulated ports: Effect of HU and flash margin size on plan quality and robustness

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Skin flash is typically added to breast and chestwall plans to ensure robust target coverage in the presence of respiratory motion, anatomic changes, and small setup uncertainties. Adding skin flash in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans is an iterative and manual process.

Novel Symmetries in Christ-Lee Model [PDF]

open access: yesEurophys. Lett. 115 (2016) 21003, 2015
We demonstrate that the gauge-fixed Lagrangian of the Christ-Lee model respects four fermionic symmetries, namely; (anti-)BRST symmetries, (anti-)co-BRST symmetries within the framework of BRST formalism. The appropriate anticommutators amongst the fermionic symmetries lead to a unique bosonic symmetry.

Loops in SU(2), Riemann Surfaces, and Factorization, I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
. In previous work we showed that a loop g : S 1 → SU(2) has a triangular factorization if and only if the loop g has a root subgroup factorization. In this paper we present generalizations in which the unit disk and its double, the sphere, are replaced ...

Casimir repulsion between metallic objects in vacuum

open access: yes, 2010
We give an example of a geometry in which two metallic objects in vacuum experience a repulsive Casimir force. The geometry consists of an elongated metal particle centered above a metal plate with a hole.

Geometry of Invariant Tori of Certain Integrable Systems with Symmetry and an Application to a Nonholonomic System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Bifibrations, in symplectic geometry called also dual pairs, play a relevant role in the theory of superintegrable Hamiltonian systems. We prove the existence of an analogous bifibrated geometry in dynamical systems with a symmetry group such that the ...

Quantification and dosimetric impact of intra‐fractional bladder changes during CBCT‐guided online adaptive radiotherapy for pelvic cancer treatments

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study quantitatively evaluates bladder changes and their dosimetric impact during the on‐couch adaptive process on a commercial CBCT‐based online adaptive radiotherapy (CT‐gART) platform. Methods Data from 183 fractions of ten patients receiving online ART for pelvic cancers were analyzed retrospectively.

Zamolodchikov Tetrahedral Equation and Higher Hamiltonians of 2d Quantum Integrable Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
. The main aim of this work is to develop a method of constructing higher Hamiltonians of quantum integrable systems associated with the solution of the Zamolodchikov tetrahedral equation. As opposed to the result of V.V. Bazhanov and S.M.

Novel discrete symmetries in the general N = 2 supersymmetric quantum mechanical model

open access: yes, 2013
In addition to the usual supersymmetric (SUSY) continuous symmetry transformations for the general N = 2 SUSY quantum mechanical model, we show the existence of a set of novel discrete symmetry transformations for the Lagrangian of the above SUSY quantum

Non-perturbative Gauge Groups and Local Mirror Symmetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We analyze D-brane states and their central charges on the resolution of C^2/Z_n by using local mirror symmetry. There is a point in the moduli space where all n(n-1)/2 branches of the principal component of the discriminant locus coincide. We argue that

Development of a generic focal spot measurement method suitable for bore‐type linacs

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose In linear accelerators, deviations in the x‐ray focal spot position significantly affect the accuracy of radiation therapy. However, as the focal spot position in bore‐type linac systems such as the Radixact system, cannot be assessed using conventional methods, a new evaluation method is required.
