The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is currently installing upgrades to their Calorimeter Trigger for LHC Run 2 to ensure that the trigger thresholds can stay low, and physics data collection will not be compromised. The electronics will be upgraded in two stages. Stage-1 for 2015 will upgrade some electronics and links from copper to optical in the existing calorimeter trigger so that the...
This paper describes the procedure to make a realistic and novel breast and breast cancer phantoms in order to mimic acoustic and geometric properties of the woman breast. Comparing the propagation speed of sound in our phantoms with others papers, we achieved 96.34 % of similarity in breast phantoms and 96.99 % of similarity in breast cancer phantoms by using accessible and cheap materials; furthermore,...
The effectiveness of hyperthermia is related to the temperature achieved during the therapy, as well as the length time of treatment and tissue characteristics. For the treatment of superficial tumors the radiation is applied through external antennas, while internal tumors are exposed to invasive applicators. To effectively treat deep-stead tumors, these antennas should produce a highly localized...
An axisymmetric finite element method model was employed to demonstrate important techniques in the design of antennas for interstitial hyperthermia. To effectively treat deep-seated tumors, these antennas should produce a highly localized specific absorption rate pattern and be efficient radiators at different generator frequencies. A double slot antenna for interstitial hyperthermia in muscle was...
The objective of this work is to describe the design and construction of an automated laboratory for electromagnetic radiation, which will be used in the study of the effects of radiation in living organisms, focusing the study in the effects of oncologic hyperthermia. Actually, there are no reports that describe the design of an automated laboratory of electromagnetic radiation for hyperthermia for...
The highest degree of Planetary Protection (PP) applies to landed planetary missions and sample return missions. To date, Dry Heat Microbial Reduction (DHMR) treatment is the only NASA approved PP technique for meeting the stringent sterility requirements for life detection missions and to prevent forward contamination. However, spacecraft (s/c) and payloads are made up of a diverse set of man-made...
Lander missions and sample return missions (Class IVa and Class IVb) require the highest degree of planetary protection (PP). To date, dry heat sterilization is the only NASA approved PP technique for meeting the stringent sterility requirements to prevent forward contamination. However, spacecraft and payloads are made of a diverse set of materials and components which are heat sensitive or incompatible...
