  2. 1. The microdosimetric variance-covariance method used for beam quality characterization in radiation protection and radiation therapy

    Author : Jan Erik Lillhök; Lennart Lindborg; Bernd Grosswendt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ionizing radiation; radiation quality; radiation protection; radiation therapy; microdosimetry; nanodosimetry; variance-covariance method; Radiological physics; Radiofysik; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Abstract : Radiation quality is described by the RBE (relative biological effectiveness) that varies with the ionizing ability of the radiation. Microdosimetric quantities describe distributions of energy imparted to small volumes and can be related to RBE. READ MORE

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on numerical algorithms for efficient solution of QTL analysis problem in genetics.Firstly, we consider QTL mapping problems where a standard least-squares model is used for computing the model fit. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards nanodosimetry: therapeutic radiation measurements using the variance method

    Author : Linda Eliasson; Ayse Nyberg; Torbjörn Bäck; Jan Lillhök; Anja Almén; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atomic; Subatomic and Astrophysics; Atomär fysik; subatomär fysik och astrofysik;

    Abstract : Understanding how radiation damage occurs in human tissue seems to lie in the knowledge of energy depositions in DNA-size volumes, with diameters typically around a few nanometres. In such small volumes the energy transfers are stochastic and described using distributions of events along a particle track and relevant mean values. READ MORE

  6. 4. On Optimisation and Design of Geodetic Networks

    Author : Mohammad Amin Alizadeh Khameneh; Mehdi Eshagh; Lars E. Sjöberg; Stig-Göran Mårtensson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Optimisation of a geodetic network is performed to provide its pre-set quality requirements. Today, this procedure is almost run with the aid of developed analytical approaches, where the human intervention in the process cycle is limited to defining the criteria. READ MORE
