The Thermopower of Quantum Chaos
The thermovoltage of a chaotic quantum dot is measured using a current
heating technique. The fluctuations in the thermopower as a function of
magnetic field and dot shape display a non-Gaussian distribution, in agreement
with simulations using Random Matrix Theory. We observe no contributions from
weak localization or short trajectories in the thermopower.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, corrected: accidently omitted author in the

A margin-based analysis of the dosimetric impact of motion on step-and-shoot IMRT lung plans
PURPOSE: Intrafraction motion during step-and-shoot (SNS) IMRT is known to affect the target dosimetry by a combination of dose blurring and interplay effects. These effects are typically managed by adding a margin around the target. A quantitative analysis was performed, assessing the relationship between target motion, margin size, and target dosimetry with the goal of introducing new margin recipes. METHODS: A computational algorithm was used to calculate 1,174 motion-encoded dose distributions and DVHs within the patient’s CT dataset. Sinusoidal motion tracks were used simulating intrafraction motion for nine lung tumor patients, each with multiple margin sizes. RESULTS: D(95%) decreased by less than 3% when the maximum target displacement beyond the margin experienced motion less than 5 mm in the superior-inferior direction and 15 mm in the anterior-posterior direction. For target displacements greater than this, D(95%) decreased rapidly. CONCLUSIONS: Targets moving in excess of 5 mm outside the margin can cause significant changes to the target. D(95%) decreased by up to 20% with target motion 10 mm outside the margin, with underdosing primarily limited to the target periphery. Multi-fractionated treatments were found to exacerbate target under-coverage. Margins several millimeters smaller than the maximum target displacement provided acceptable motion protection, while also allowing for reduced normal tissue morbidity
From planning the port/city to planning the port-city : exploring the economic interface in European port cities
In last three decades, planning agencies of most ports have institutionally evolved into a (semi-) independent port authority. The rationale behind this process is that port authorities are able to react more quickly to changing logistical and spatial preferences of maritime firms, hence increasing the competitiveness of ports. Although these dedicated port authorities have proven to be largely successful, new economic, social, and environmental challenges are quickly catching up on these port governance models, and particularly leads to (spatial) policy ‘conflicts’ between port and city. This chapter starts by assessing this conflict and argue that the conflict is partly a result of dominant—often also academic—spatial representations of the port city as two separate entities. To escape this divisive conception of contemporary port cities, this chapter presents a relational visualisation method that is able to analyse the economic interface between port and city. Based on our results, we reflect back on our proposition and argue that the core challenge today for researchers and policy makers is acknowledging the bias of port/city, being arguably a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hence, we turn the idea of (planning the) port/city conflicts into planning the port-city’s strengths and weaknesses
Berry phase and persistent current in disordered mesoscopic rings
A novel quantum interference effect in disordered quasi-one-dimensional rings
in the inhomogeneous magnetic field is reported. We calculate the canonical
disorder averaged persistent current using the diagrammatic perturbation
theory. It is shown that within the adiabatic regime the average current
oscillates as a function of the geometric flux which is related to the Berry
phase and the period becomes half the value of the case of a single
one-dimensional ring. We also discuss the magnetic dephasing effect on the
averaged current.Comment: 6 pages, RevTeX, 2 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev. B Rapid

Intensity-Based Registration of Freehand 3D Ultrasound and CT-scan Images of the Kidney
This paper presents a method to register a pre-operative Computed-Tomography
(CT) volume to a sparse set of intra-operative Ultra-Sound (US) slices. In the
context of percutaneous renal puncture, the aim is to transfer planning
information to an intra-operative coordinate system. The spatial position of
the US slices is measured by optically localizing a calibrated probe. Assuming
the reproducibility of kidney motion during breathing, and no deformation of
the organ, the method consists in optimizing a rigid 6 Degree Of Freedom (DOF)
transform by evaluating at each step the similarity between the set of US
images and the CT volume. The correlation between CT and US images being
naturally rather poor, the images have been preprocessed in order to increase
their similarity. Among the similarity measures formerly studied in the context
of medical image registration, Correlation Ratio (CR) turned out to be one of
the most accurate and appropriate, particularly with the chosen non-derivative
minimization scheme, namely Powell-Brent's. The resulting matching transforms
are compared to a standard rigid surface registration involving segmentation,
regarding both accuracy and repeatability. The obtained results are presented
and discussed
Quantum-Statistical Current Correlations in Multi-Lead Chaotic Cavities
Quantum mechanics requires that identical particles are treated as
indistinguishable. This requirement leads to correlations in the fluctuating
properties of a system. Theoretical predictions are made for an experiment on a
multi-lead chaotic quantum dot which can identify exchange effects in
electronic current-current correlations. Interestingly, we find that the
ensemble averaged exchange effects are of the order of the channel number, and
are insensitive to dephasing.Comment: 4 pages REVTEX, including two figure
Measurement of the Probability Distribution of Total Transmission in Random Waveguides
Measurements have been made of the probability distribution of total
transmission of microwave radiation in waveguides filled with randomly
positioned scatterers which would have values of the dimensionless conductance
g near unity. The distributions are markedly non-Gaussian and have exponential
tails. The measured distributions are accurately described by diagrammatic and
random matrix calculations carried out for nonabsorbing samples in the limit g
>> 1 when g is expressed in terms of the variance of the distribution, which
equals the degree of long-range intensity correlation across the output face of
the sample.Comment: 5 pages, 5 post script figures, RevTe
Comparing firn temperature profile retrieval based on the firn densification model and microwave data over the Antarctica
The firn temperature is a crucial parameter for understanding firn densification processes of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS). Simulations with firn densification models (FDM) can be conceptualized as a function that relies on forcing data, comprising temperature and surface mass balance, together with tuning parameters determined based on measured depth-density profiles from different locations. The simulated firn temperature is obtained in the firn densification models by solving the one-dimensional heat conduction equation. Microwave satellite data on brightness temperature at different frequencies can also provide remote sensing monitoring of firn temperature variations across the AIS (i.e., the L-band up to 1500 meters). The firn temperature can be estimated by the microwave emission model and the regression method, but these two methods need more observations of temperature profiles for correction and validation. Therefore, we compiled a dataset with temperature profiles and temperature observations with depth around 10 meters. In this work, two methods were used to simulate/retrieve firn temperature across the Antarctic ice sheet. One method estimated the temperature profiles by solving the one-dimensional heat conduction equation driven by reanalyses and regional climate models, which are used in the simulation of FDMs. The other one established a relationship between the multi-frequency brightness temperature data from microwave remote sensing satellites and the firn temperature
