  1. 1. Evaluating aperture shape controller (ASC) in modulated radiation treatments

    University essay from

    Author : Vilma Andrén Cederholm; [2023-09-28]
    Keywords : Medical physics;

    Abstract : To decrease aperture complexity, the aperture shape controller (ASC) is a recently introduced function in Eclipse external beam planning (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA). ASC works within the photon optimizer, minimizing distances between adjacent leaf tips of the MLC. READ MORE

  3. 2. Wavelength-dependent limb darkeningin the analysis oftransit spectroscopy of exoplanets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Alberto García Ribas; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Limb darkening, an optical effect characteristic of stars, where the limb (edge) seemsto be darker than the centre of the stellar body; plays an important role in our under-standing of exoplanetary transits, as it is fundamental for developing light curve modelsthat can help to undercover extrasolar companions. To recover atmospheric featuresfrom exoplanets, a principal component analysis method is typically used. READ MORE

  4. 3. Spatial patterns in animal territoriality : competitive behaviour in a shell dwelling cichlid

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Samuel Malm; Ida Nordstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Behavioural ecology; Edge effect; Neolamprologus Multifasciatus; Predation; Territoriality; Territory maintenance;

    Abstract : Sociality among animals is a common phenomenon which has both costs and benefits. More and more studies are published that uses shell dwelling cichlids as a proxy for other taxa because of their convenience when studying, unique evolution and large variety in species. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigation of Analog Calibration Systems for Spurious Tone Suppression in Frequency Triplers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik
