Monte Carlo simulation is an accurate and detailed method of modelling the complex electron source configurations and geometries seen in radiation therapy. It is known to be very accurate when used properly for patient ...

Optical polarization is a powerful diagnostic tool in astrophysics, allowing the investigation of asymmetries in source regions of astronomical objects, magnetic field configurations, and magnetic field strengths. Polarized ...

It has been suggested that globular star clusters may host a black hole with intermediate mass (~ a few × 1000 M_sun ) or a collection of low mass (~ 10 M_sun ) black holes at their centre. High velocity dispersion in the ...

Vectorial polarimetry is a novel high-resolution microscopy technique with potential applications in the characterisation of nano-materials, sub-diffraction limit microscopy, and single molecule imaging. Previous work had ...

The interaction of short and ultrashort laser pulses with very thin films is currently an important area of research for laser material interactions. The interaction between the laser pulse and the thin transparent conductive ...

Minimally invasive implantable medical devices represent a major advance in the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease with stent implantation becoming the standard coronary angioplasty procedure. Such devices ...

In the recent past, there has been an accelerated development in medical modalities for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Tissue conservation of neighbouring healthy tissue and development of a minimally/non-invasive ...

Microlens-array-based light-field cameras (also known as plenoptic cameras), which are capable of recording both angular and spatial information of light, are already commercially available as consumer commodities. Due to ...

Assessment of worker's exposure is becoming increasingly critical in the pharmaceutical industry as drugs of higher potency are being manufactured. Also the batch nature of operations often makes it difficult to obtain ...

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has proved to be a powerful spectroscopic tool since its discovery in 1973. Advances in nanofabrication techniques increasingly allow for the manufacture of complex nanostructured ...
