Proton arcs have shown potential to reduce the dose to organs at risks (OARs) by delivering the protons from many different directions. While most previous studies have been focused on dynamic arcs (d...
To exploit the dosimetric advantages of proton arcs, while achieving reasonable delivery times, we propose a partitioning approach where discrete arc plans are split into subplans to be delivered over...
For three oropharyngeal cancer patients, four different arc plans have been created and compared to the corresponding clinical IMPT plan. The treatment plans are all planned to be delivered in 35 frac...
The delivery time (including an additional delay of 30 s between the discrete directions to simulate manual interaction with the treatment control system) is reduced from on average 25.2 min for the 1...
Discrete proton arcs can be implemented at any proton facility with reasonable treatment times using a partitioning approach. The technique also makes the proton arc treatments more robust to changes ...
High proton conductivity originated from its small size and the diffusion-free Grotthuss mechanism offers immense promise for proton-based magneto-ionic control of magnetic materials. Despite such pro...
Proton migration on biological membranes plays a major role in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, but it is not yet fully understood. Here we show that proton dissociation kinetics and related g...
The transmembrane-electrostatically localized protons (TELP) theory can serve as a unified framework to explain experimental observations and elucidate bioenergetic systems including both delocalized ...
Proton imaging makes use of high-energy, low-intensity proton beams that fully traverse the patient and has been suggested to reduce range uncertainty in proton therapy. Upright patient positioning wi...
The purpose of this work was to determine whether proton treatment and imaging with an upright patient positioning system on a fixed beamline were acceptable from a radiation shielding perspective. Th...
The Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit was used for the radiation shielding assessment. The calculations consisted of the generation of secondary particle phase-space files by simulating the passage of high-e...
The total yields of pions from a 330-MeV proton beam were many orders of magnitude less than that of neutrons and photons. Three-dimensional maps of ambient dose rate for a 330-MeV proton beam showed ...
Pion production has a negligible impact on the radiation shielding of proton imaging at 330 MeV relative to neutron and photon production. Radiation shielding designed for proton therapy is adequate f...
In bacteriorhodopsin, representative light-driven proton pump, five proton transfers yield vectorial active proton translocation, resulting in a proton gradient in microbes. Third proton transfer occu...
Otopetrin (Otop) proteins were recently found to function as proton channels, with Otop1 revealed to be the sour taste receptor in mammals. Otop proteins contain twelve transmembrane segments (S1-S12)...
Complex I is a key proton-pumping enzyme in bacterial and mitochondrial respiratory electron transport chains. Using quantum chemistry and electrostatic calculations, we have examined the pKa of the r...
