Particle beam – proton,neutron & heavy ion therapyAswathi c p
particle therapy is advanced external beam therapy used to treat cancer , which uses beams of protons or other charged particles such as helium, carbon or other ions instead of photons. charged particles have different depth-dose distributions compared to photons. They deposit most of their energy in the last final millimeters of their trajectory (when their speed slows). This results in a sharp and localized peak of dose, known as the Bragg peak.

Transmission electron microscope, high resolution tem and selected area elect...Nano Encryption
The transmission electron microscope is a very powerful tool for material science. A high energy beam of electrons is shone through a very thin sample, and the interactions between the electrons and the atoms can be used to observe features such as the crystal structure and features in the structure like dislocations and grain boundaries. Chemical analysis can also be performed. TEM can be used to study the growth of layers, their composition and defects in semiconductors. High resolution can be used to analyze the quality, shape, size and density of quantum wells, wires and dots.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Megavoltage electron beams are used
Clinically useful energies are between 6 to 20
MeV
4. Delivers uniform dose at specific depth
Rapid dose fall off
Better deep normal tissue sparing
Effective treatment for superficial tumors
5. Treating various superficial diseases ( within
6cm)
Example
1. Cancer of skin regions or total skin ( eg
mycosis fungoids)
2. Melanoma
3. Lymphoma
4. Nodal boost
5. Breast cancer
6. Total body irradiation
6. Electrons interact with matter by coulombs
force interaction
The various process of interactions are
1. Inelastic collision with atomic electrons
2. Inelastic collision with nuclei
3. Elastic collision with atomic electrons
4. Elastic collision with nuclei
9. Kinetic energy is not lost although it may be
redistributed among particles emerging from
collision
10. When beam of electrons passes through a medium
Scattering scattering power
varies as square of
atomic no. And
Due to coulomb force inversely as square
of interaction between of K.E.
incident electrons
and nuclei
11. Clinical implication
For this reason high atomic number materials
are used in the construction of scattering foils
used for the production of clinical electron
beams in the linac
12. Central axis depth dose
Isodose curves
Field flatness and symmetry
Field size dependence
Field equivalence
Electron source
X ray contamination
13. Depth dose curve
Rapid rise to 100%
Rapid dose fall off
High surface dose
Clinically useful range 5-6cm
14.
15. As dose decreases rapidly beyond 90% dose
level, the treatment depth and required
electron energy must be chosen carefully
Most useful treatment depth, therapeutic
range of electrons is given by the depth of 90%
of isodose curves
The PDD increases as the energy increases
However, percent of surface dose increases
with energy
17. Defined as absorbed dose at any depth ‘d ‘
to the absorbed dose at fixed reference
depth along central axis of beam expressed
in percentage
18.
19. Isodose curves are the lines joining the
points of equal PDD
The curves are usually drawn at regular
intervals of absorbed dose and expressed as
percentage of dose at a reference point.
21. As an electron beam penetrates a medium,
the beam expands rapidly below the surface,
due to scattering
Individual spread of the isodose curves varies
depending on the isodose level, energy of
the beam, field size, and beam collimation
22. Uniformity of electron beam is usually
specified in a plane perpendicular to the
beam axis and at a fixed depth
uniformity index
ratio of the area where dose exceeds 90% of
its value at the central axis to the geometric
beam cross sectional area at the phantom
surface
23. Because of the presence of low energy
electrons in the beam, the flatness changes
significantly with depth
Beam symmetry compares a lateral dose
profile on one side of central axis to that on
the other
24. The output and central axis depth dose are
field size dependent
Dose increases with the field size because of
increased scatter from the collimator
26. At the end of the electron range
Contributed by the bremsstrahlung
interaction of the electrons with the
collimator system and the body tissues
X ray contamination is least with the
scanning type of accelerators because
scattering foils are not used
27. Electron energy X ray contamination dose
6 to 12 MeV 0.5 to 1%
12 to 15 MeV 1 to 2%
15 to 20 MeV 2 to 5%

distribution can be found by isodose chart
Treating area is irregular and inhomogenous
29. Choice of energy and field size
Correction of air gaps and beam obliquity
Tissue inhomogeneity
Use of bolus
Problems of adjacent feilds
30. Energy of beam is decided according to
1. Depth of target volume
2. Minimum target dose required
3. Dose to OARs
If there is no risk of normal organ
overdosing then beam energy is selected so
that entire tumor volume is covered by 90%
to 95% isodose curve
31. Choice of field size is based on isodose
coverage of PTV
It has been seen that there is lateral
constriction of the 80% isodose curve at
energies above 7MeV
Thus larger field size should be selected to
cover PTV adequately
32. Uneven air gaps as a result of patient
surfaces are often present
Inverse square law corrections can be made
to the dose distribution to account for the
sloping surface
33. Electron beam dose distribution can be
significantly altered in the presence of tissue
heterogeneity such as bone, lung and air
cavities
It is difficult to determine dose distribution
in presence of such conditions
Coefficient of equivalent thickness (CET)
34. Used to
1. Flatten out an irregular surface
2. Reduce the penetration of electrons in
parts of the field
3. Increase the surface dose
35. Materials used as bolus
1. Paraffin wax
2. Polyestyrene
3. Lucite
4. Superstuff
5. superflab
36. Special technique in which a rotational
electron beam is used to treat superficial
tumor volumes that follow curved surfaces
Not widely used as
relatively complicated
physical characteristics are poorly
understood
37. Electron energy 2 to 9MeV
Mycosis fungoids and other cutaneous
lymphomas
Rapid fall off in dose beyond shallow depth
Skin lesions extending to 1cm depth can be
effectively treated without exceeding bone
marrow tolerance
41. Useful range of electrons are 6 to 20 MeV
Electrons interact with matter by elastic or
inelastic collision
Energy of electron is specified by most
probable energy at the surface
Modest skin sparing effect
Percent surface dose increases with
increasing energy
Electron arc therapy is feasible for tumors
along curved surfaces
