Deep learning-based Monte Carlo dose prediction for heavy-ion online adaptive radiotherapy and fast quality assurance: A feasibility study.
Med Phys
January 2025
Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) and rapid quality assurance (QA) are essential for effective heavy ion therapy (HIT). However, there is a shortage of deep learning (DL) models and workflows for predicting Monte Carlo (MC) doses in such treatments.
Purpose: This study seeks to address this gap by developing a DL model for independent MC dose (MCDose) prediction, aiming to facilitate OART and rapid QA implementation for HIT.
Probabilistic stability assessment of slope considering soft soil and silty clay foundations.

College of Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, 266404, China.
Although deterministic analysis can provide initial insights into slope stability, there is no way to reflect the true distribution of soil properties within a slope. To further investigate the effects of the spatial variability of soil properties on the stability and failure mechanism of slope under different foundation types, this study develops a framework combining simple limit equilibrium method (LEM), Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), and random field to incorporate these factors into slope probabilistic stability analysis. The slope models of two typical foundations (e.

Nitrate (NO) pollution in groundwater is a worldwide environmental issue, particularly in developed planting-breeding areas where there is a substantial presence of nitrogen-related sources. Here, we explored the key sources and potential health risks of NO in a typical planting-breeding area in the North China Plain based on dual stable isotopes and Monte Carlo simulations. The analysis results revealed that the NO concentration ranged from 0.

Although sulfur-bearing minerals are valuable resources, they pose significant environmental risks to river ecosystems by releasing hazardous leachate. Accurately tracing these sources is crucial but challenging due to overlapping chemical signatures and pollutant transport dynamics in river systems. This study investigates seasonal and spatial variations in sulfate (SO) and trace element contributions in mining districts of the upper Nakdong River basin, South Korea.
