State-based simulations of tumor response to radiotherapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
A tumor is comprised of biologically different subdivisions and microenvironmental factors affect the treatment response to radiation therapy (RT). In this work, a state-based tumor response model was developed based on ...
Solutions of some transport problems in molecular and phonon transport
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Nuclear reactor fuel undergoes vast changes during its lifetime. The fuel generates heat energy while simultaneously suffering neutron bombardments and swelling/rupture due to fission product/gas migration, aggregation and ...
Direct simulation Monte Carlo exploration of charge effects on aerosol evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Aerosols are potentially generated both during normal operations in a gas cooled Generation IV nuclear reactor and in all nuclear reactors during accident scenarios. These aerosols can become charged due to aerosol generation ...
Development of instrumentation and techniques for preclinical image guided microirradiation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Radiation therapy accounts for more than half of cancer treatments in the US, and in order to provide the most effective treatment to patients, new developments are implemented each year. Before a novel radiation therapy ...
Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) : advanced delivery techniques for static and moving targets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is a rotational radiation therapy which has been used to treat various cancer sites. The continuous delivery of a specific treatment plan for arc therapy can be achieved with multiple ...
