Improvement is made in the traditional spectral beam combining structure by adding beam shaping element, namely Beam Transformation System (BTS). Spectral beam combination is performed in a horizontal direction by the external cavity after beam shaping. The effect of smile and the divergence of the slow axis are reduced. A standard semiconductor laser array is used in this experiment. A CW output power of 58.8 W and an electro-optic conversion efficiency of 51% are achieved. The spectral line-width is 12.7 nm. M(2) of 1.3 × 11.6 in horizontal and vertical directions are obtained. The beam quality of the output is close to that of a single emitter of the array in two directions.

Purpose/objective(s): Use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) versus three-dimensional conformal external beam radiation therapy (3D-CRT) for definitive chemoradiation therapy (CRT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) has been associated with decreased late pneumonitis, decreased high dose to the heart (itself associated with improved overall survival), and improved patient quality of life. In a statewide radiation oncology quality consortium, we sought to evaluate the impact of IMRT versus 3D-CRT treatment technique on dosimetry and toxicity.
Materials/methods: From 2012 to 2022, 1746 LA-NSCLC patients meeting inclusion criteria underwent definitive RT (90% CRT) with either 3D-CRT (n=313) or IMRT (n=1433) and were enrolled in the [quality consortium] prospective, multicenter statewide initiative.

Online detection of internal quality of strawberries presents challenges particularly concerning fruit damage, detection accuracy, and processing efficiency. This study explores the feasibility of using Vis/NIRS for online detection of SSC in strawberries during hanging transportation. After analyzing SSC distribution in strawberries, an optical sensing system was developed, and optimal configurations were identified using PLSR models.

In particle therapy (PT), several methods are being investigated to help reduce range margins and identify deviations from the original treatment plan, such as prompt-gamma (PG) imaging with Compton cameras (CC). To reconstruct the images, the Origin Ensemble (OE) algorithm is commonly used. In the context of PT, artifacts and strong noise often affect CC images.

Robotic-assisted dental implantation represents a transformative innovation in modern dentistry, offering enhanced surgical precision and reduced variability. Despite its clinical adoption, the impact of anatomical and bone-related factors on placement accuracy remains underexplored. This retrospective study evaluated 54 implants placed in 30 patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and virtual planning software to analyze deviations in crown position, apex position, and angulation.
