Proper Radiotherapy Targeting While The Patient Is Breathing
15 May 2012, 6:12 pm
Radiotherapists are constantly battling in order to administer the correct dose of radiotherapy, as respiratory movement during radiotherapy poses a certain risk that a tumor receives either a dose that is insufficient, or the surrounding healthy tissue is being subjected to a potentially toxic over-dose. Dr. Amira Ziouèche presented a study at the 31st conference of the European Society for ...
Researchers Monitor Brain Activity Of A Chicken Embryo
14 May 2012, 3:20 pm
Researchers from Carlos III University in Madrid (UC3M) are part of a team that, for the first time ever, has been able to monitor the brain activity of a chicken embryo and to confirm that superior brain activity (carrying out complex tasks) begins long before the chick hatches. This is one of the principle conclusions of a study that has been published in the scientific journal Current Biology ...

Breathing during radiotherapy - how to hit the treatment target without causing collateral damage
11 May 2012, 5:49 pm
( European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) ) Respiratory movement during radiotherapy makes it difficult to hit the right treatment target and this in turn can lead to an under-dose of radiation to the tumor, or a potentially toxic over-dose to the surrounding healthy tissue. Getting this right is a real challenge for the radiotherapist, but new techniques are helping to deliver ...
Superconducting strip could become an ultra-low-voltage sensor
30 April 2012, 8:55 am
( Springer ) Researchers studying a superconducting strip observed an intermittent motion of magnetic flux which carries vortices inside the regularly spaced weak conducting regions carved into the superconducting material. These vortices resulted in alternating static phases with zero voltage and dynamic phases, which are characterized by non-zero voltage peaks in the superconductor. This study ...

with sub-
millimetric resolution. "For the first time, we have designed a procedure which allows us to observe and measure the changes in the embryo's brain activity as it vacillates between sleep and awake phases, without interfering in its normal ...
Out of orbit - Financial Times

Inside that cauldron, reputations will be made and shattered according to
millimetric measurements. Nothing could be more cut and dried. Races have a beginning, a middle, and an end, in that order. But the ArcelorMittal Orbit, the super-sized trombone ...
