Dosimetric effects of prostate calcifications in high-dose rate brachytherapy calculations
(2017-09-01)ABSTRACT Purpose: At the Nova Scotia Cancer Center (NSCC), high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy using 192Ir is often used as a single-fraction dose boost for intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer patients prior to ... -
A Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis and Risk Assessment Model for Carbon Capture and Storage
(2012-12-14)Currently several disparate and incomplete approaches are being used to analyse and make decisions on the complex methodology of carbon capture and storage (CCS). A literature review revealed that, as CCS is a new and ... -
Probabilistic Approach for Q-based Ground Support Design
(2020-08-11)For tunnel, cavern, and shaft design, the inherent variability in a given rock mass domain makes accurately estimating rock quality and support requirements difficult. The Q system developed by Barton provides a method of ... -
QUANTITATIVE APPROACHES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MORTALITY IN MARINE FISH POPULATIONS
(2018-02-20)Fisheries science has historically focused on recruitment variability and fishery landings as key drivers of dynamics in populations exposed to fishing. However, comprehending the persistence of these populations and ... -
STUDY OF SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILLED RC FRAMES
(2024-03-30)This thesis was motivated to investigate the seismic behaviour and seismic performance of concrete masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame systems. In this case, the masonry infills are constructed in tight contact ...
