A Monte Carlo feasibility study for neutron based real-time range verification in proton therapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Uncertainties in the proton range in tissue during proton therapy limit the precision in treatment delivery. These uncertainties result in expanded treatment margins, thereby increasing radiation dose to healthy tissue. ... -
Air processed Cs<inf>2</inf>AgBiBr<inf>6</inf> lead-free double perovskite high-mobility thin-film field-effect transistors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite thin film for field-effect transistor (FET) applications. The Cs2AgBiBr6 thin films were fabricated using a solution process technique ... -
Association between free-living sleep and memory and attention in healthy adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In laboratory studies, imposed sleep restriction consistently reduces cognitive performance. However, the association between objectively measured, free-living sleep and cognitive function has not been studied in older ... -
Associations between serum and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor and influence of storage time and centrifugation strategy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The aims of the study were to clarify the impact of storage time and centrifugation strategy on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in human serum and plasma samples. In addition, we analyzed associations between ... -
Automated segmentation of endometrial cancer on MR images using deep learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Preoperative MR imaging in endometrial cancer patients provides valuable information on local tumor extent, which routinely guides choice of surgical procedure and adjuvant therapy. Furthermore, whole-volume tumor analyses ... -
CFD-DEM model of plugging in flow with cohesive particles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plugging in flows with cohesive particles is crucial in many industrial and real-life applications such as hemodynamics, water distribution, and petroleum flow assurance. Although probabilistic models for plugging risk ... -
Cognitive and MRI trajectories for prediction of Alzheimer’s disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The concept of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is used to describe the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and identification and treatment before further decline is an important clinical task. We selected longitudinal ... -
Comparison of finger flexor resistance training, with and without blood flow restriction, on perceptional and physiological responses in advanced climbers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study compared perceptional and physiological responses of finger flexor exercise performed with free flow and blood flow restriction (BFR). Thirteen male advanced climbers completed three sessions of finger flexor ... -
Constraining the tectonic evolution of rifted continental margins by U–Pb calcite dating
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We employ U–Pb calcite dating of structurally-controlled fracture fills within crystalline Caledonian basement in western Norway to reveal subtle large-scale tectonic events that affected this rifted continental margin. ... -
Current state and call for action to accomplish findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of low carbon energy data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)With the continued digitization of the energy sector, the problem of sunken scholarly data investments and forgone opportunities of harvesting existing data is exacerbating. It compounds the problem that the reproduction ... -
Diversity, habitat endemicity and trophic ecology of the fauna of Loki’s Castle vent field on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Loki’s Castle Vent Field (LCVF, 2300 m) was discovered in 2008 and represents the first black-smoker vent field discovered on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR). However, a comprehensive faunal inventory of the LCVF has not ... -
The effect of the colour red in 20 years of Olympic taekwondo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The objectives of this study were (1) to analyse the relationship between the colour of the protectors and the outcome of 895 matches in the six Olympic Games in which taekwondo has been included, and (2) to analyse the ... -
Exploring the use of nanofluids in pump-free systems for solar thermal applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)By using nanofluids as a working fluid in pump-free designs, thermal energy systems can become more efficient and have reduced maintenance costs, ultimately extending the system’s lifespan. In this paper, our goal is to ... -
A hybrid multi-particle approach to range assessment-based treatment verification in particle therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Particle therapy (PT) used for cancer treatment can spare healthy tissue and reduce treatment toxicity. However, full exploitation of the dosimetric advantages of PT is not yet possible due to range uncertainties, warranting ... -
Identifying sequence variants contributing to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 negative breast and ovarian cancer patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Families with breast and ovarian cancer are often tested for disease associated sequence variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Pathogenic sequence variants (PVs) in these two genes are known to increase breast and ovarian cancer ... -
