  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. Polymer gel dosimetry with MRI-readout for 3D dose verification - detector characteristics and clinical applications

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Thi Guldhill; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. READ MORE

  5. 4. Parameter Stability in Additive Normal Tempered Stable Processes for Equity Derivatives

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

    Author : Eduardo Alberto Alcantara Martinez; [2023]
    Keywords : Parameter Stability; Lévy Processes; Calibration; Volatility Surface; Subordination; Additive Normal Tempered Stable Processes; Stable Distribution; Variance Gamma Process; Normal Inverse Gaussian Process.;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the parameter stability of additive normal tempered stable processes when calibrating a volatility surface. The studied processes arise as a generalization of Lévy normal tempered stable processes, and their main characteristic are their time-dependent parameters. READ MORE

  6. 5. Economic Capital Models : Methods for fitting loss distributions

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : William Fritzell; [2023]
    Keywords : Economic Capital; Distribution fitting; MCMC;

    Abstract : The thesis provides a well-researched classical approach to fit and predict the losses (extreme) for Lloyds Bank’s Dutch mortgage portfolio, their defaulted Dutch mortgage portfolio, and their German personal and car loan portfolio. This is a crucial piece for quantification of the economic loss, required for effective credit risk management by the Bank. READ MORE
