Abstract

A brain tumor is a dangerous brain disease that can attack anyone. It can be described as the abnormal growth of cells in or around the brain, leading to impaired brain function. The first step in diagnosing a brain tumor is to perform an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan. The research aims to analyze the segmentation results of brain tumor MRI and CT (Computed Tomography) images using the Fuzzy C-Means and Active Contour methods. The evaluation is based on ROC parameters, including accuracy, dice score, precision, and sensitivity. The methodology involves analyzing data from secondary image sources, using MATLAB for the segmentation process, and evaluating the results of image segmentation by radiologists. Four ROC measurements were used for each method. The segmentation evaluation results for MRI images show that the Fuzzy C-Means method achieved a precision of 0.92; sensitivity of 0.64; dice score of 0.76; and accuracy of 0.61. The Active Contour method, on the other hand, obtained a precision of 0.97; a sensitivity of 0.99; a dice score of 0.98; and an accuracy of 0.96. For CT images, the Fuzzy C-Means method yielded a precision of 0.72; sensitivity of 0.98; dice score of 0.83; and accuracy of 0.71. The Active Contour method obtained a precision of 0.96; a sensitivity of 0.95; a dice score of 0.96; and an accuracy of 0.92. These results indicate that the Active Contour method, especially with MRI images, provides better segmentation performance. In conclusion, the segmentation results from the Active Contour method can be used as additional information for doctors in diagnosing the presence of tumors.

Abstract

Cervical cancer poses significant global health challenges, necessitating the need for innovative treatment approaches. This study addresses the gap in current radiotherapy methods by integrating Support Vector Regression (SVR) to predict radiation doses for cervical cancer treatment, thereby enhancing the precision of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). Using datasets from 102 and 173 cervical cancer cases, we developed and validated an SVR model to predict dose distributions based on radiomic and dosiomic features. The model demonstrated strong performance, achieving a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.069 for the testing data, with specific performance metrics as follows: bladder mean dose MAE of 0.0693, bowel mean dose MAE of 0.0926, and rectum mean dose MAE of 0.0779. These findings highlight the potential of machine learning to refine radiotherapy planning, reduce the workload on medical physicists, and improve patient outcomes. Future research should focus on expanding dataset sizes and enhancing model precision, particularly for anatomically challenging regions.

Abstract

Laser-assisted thermal electron-hydrogen atom elastic scattering was studied in the first-born approximation. The initial and final states of the projectile electron are described by the modified Volkov wavefunctions known as Volkov-Thermal wavefunctions. The laser-assisted thermal electron with energy ranges from 0.511 MeV to 4 MeV was considered to study the differential cross section (DCS) at azimuthal angles 30° and 14.7°, and laser-assisted field photon energy   1 eV to 3 eV are very weak at room temperature is around the room temperature 280 K to 300 K. The destructive interference was observed when a thermal electron absorbed a single photon from the laser field but no interference was found when a thermal electron emitted an electron to the laser field at a scattering angle . The DCS with eT scattering was found to be greater than a nonthermal electron in presence of laser field with scattering angle and incidence energy of the electron.

Abstract

The development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) represents a pivotal shift in nuclear technology, emphasizing enhanced safety, efficiency, and adaptability. This study examines Toshiba's MoveluX, an innovative micro-reactor, exemplifying advancements in reactor miniaturization suitable for limited spatial environments and hybridization with other energy sources. In this paper, the performance and safety of the MoveluX are rigorously evaluated using the OpenMC code, with an emphasis on critical parameters such as the effective multiplication coefficient and the reactivity worth of control devices. A 3D model of the given microreactor was built based on Toshiba's designs and features a solid core and a heat pipe cooling system. Preliminary results affirm the model's accuracy, and analysis of the neutron spectrum and flux indicates significant fission occurring in the U-238 isotope. Furthermore, the investigation extends to the thermal aspect within the fuel elements, uncovering a significant power density at the interfaces between fuel and moderator. Overall, this research makes a substantial contribution to the field of microreactor design and optimization.

Abstract

Natural materials that can cause increased radiation exposure to the surrounding environment are called Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM). NORM contains uranium and thorium, critical elements with strategic and economic value. Conventional separation methods include chemical leaching and partial precipitation with strong acids and bases. These methods require large costs and produce waste harmful to the environment. This study explores bioleaching as an efficient and eco-friendly alternative to address these limitations. The indigenous bacteria used in bioleaching were isolated directly from NORM in Mamuju. This study aims to isolate, select, and evaluate bacteria from NORM as potential bioleaching agents. The methodology of this study includes NORM characterization, bacterial isolation and selection, molecular identification, and resistance testing of selected bacteria. The study successfully isolated eight bacterial strains from NORM, among which isolate L0A demonstrated the highest bioleaching potential. After five days of incubation, L0A achieved uranium and thorium concentrations of 2.508 mg/L and 10.5946 mg/L, respectively. Molecular identification revealed that L0A belongs to Bacillus sp. These findings demonstrate the potential of Bacillus sp. L0A is a bioleaching agent, paving the way for developing efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly methods for extracting valuable radioactive elements from NORM.

Abstract

The government of Ghana has the intention of adding nuclear to its energy mix. Due to water availability for cooling, the coastal areas will be the right place for siting a nuclear power plant. This study was carried out to assess the distribution of 137Cs should liquid radioactive waste be released into coastal waters because of a non-routine event. The distribution was studied for the first month after the release. In the first week following the release, 137Cs was distributed within 16 km of the Ahanta West coastal waters with a concentration of about 9.1 Bq. L-1. On the seventh day, the distribution reached the entire coast of the Nzema East with a lower concentration with the bulk of the concentration still in the Ahanta waters. The 137Cs continued to spread into the eastern coast until the thirty-first day with a concentration of less than 1 Bq. L-1. This study provides useful data for future monitoring along the coast.

Abstract

An analysis of thermohydraulic response during a station blackout (SBO) accident for the APR 1400 nuclear power plant is performed using MELCOR version 1.8.6. MELCOR 1.8.6 results for the SBO scenario are benchmarked with MELCOR 2.1. The simulation of the SBO accident with MELCOR 2.1 was done by the APR 1400 reactor designer company (KEPCO). This research consists of two parts; the first part is related to the results of MELCOR 1.8.6, and the thermo-hydraulic analysis of MELCOR1.8.6 has been done. Analysis of thermohydraulic response is focused on investigating thermohydraulic parameters, such as core pressure, fuel clad temperature, water mass flow rate in the core, time of fuel clad failure, time of lower head failure, and time of containment failure. In the second part, the results of MELCOR version 1.86 have been benchmarked with the results of MELCOR 2.1. The results of the analysis of containment pressure changes in version 1.8.6 showed that the effect of pressure increase in containment is mostly due to the increase in carbon dioxide mass, but in version 2.1, the increase in pressure is more due to water vapor.
