. Image-guided and adaptive proton therapy rely on daily CBCT or CT imaging, which increases radiation dose and radiation-induced cancer risk. Online adaptation however also reduces setup uncertainty, and the additional risk might be compensated by reducing the setup robustness margin.

- Many tropical coastal ecosystems are affected by human activities related to tourism and land/sea use.
- We created a method to engage stakeholders early in ecological research to map the Social-Ecological System (SES) in Lac Bay, Bonaire, especially addressing the new challenge of massive sargassum landings.
- Our Group Model Building methodology helped us uncover key drivers and feedbacks, prioritize urgent research questions, and develop management strategies for the conservation of seagrass beds and mangrove forests in the area.
This study presents the first clinical implementation of an efficient online daily adaptive proton therapy workflow (DAPT).The DAPT workflow includes awhere aand aare optimized on the planning computed tomography (CT). In the, theis re-optimized on daily images from an in-room CT.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRivers are well-known sources of the greenhouse gasses (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO), methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO). These emissions from rivers can increase because of anthropogenic activities, such as agricultural fertilizer input or the discharge of treated wastewater, as these often contain elevated nutrient concentrations. Yet, the specific effects of wastewater effluent discharge on river GHG emissions remain poorly understood.
