Article Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical implementation of the Calypso system with its potential impact on the treatment delivery.
Materials And Methods: The influence of the electromagnetic array was investigated on the kilovoltage cone beam computed tomography (kV-CBCT) image quality using the CATPHAN 504 CBCT images. Then, the QFix kVue Calypso couch top and the array attenuation, and their dosimetric influence on the Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatments of prostate was evaluated.
Results: Regarding the image quality, a significant increase of noise (p < 0.01) was detected with the array in place, resulting in a significant decrease in signal noise ratio (SNR) (p < 0.01). No difference in absolute contrast was observed. Finally, there was a significant decrease in contrast noise ratio (CNR) (p < 0.01) even if the deviation was only of 2.5%. For the dosimetric evaluation, the maximum attenuation of the couch was 12.02% and 13.19% for X6 and X6 flattening filter free (FFF), respectively (configuration of rails out). Besides, the mean attenuation of the array was 1.15% and 1.67% for X6 and X6 FFF, respectively. For the VMAT treatment plans, the mean dose was reduced by 0.61% for X6 and by 0.31% for X6 FFF beams when using the electromagnetic array.
Conclusions: The Calypso system does not affect significantly the kV-CBCT image quality and the VMAT plan dose distribution.

Rare-earth ion (Pr, Nd, and Tm)-doped yttrium vanadate (YVO) crystals have aroused great research interest owing to their excellent laser performances. However, the microstructures, which underlie the optical properties of these crystals, are still unclear. In this paper, the stable crystal structures of the YVO:Re (Re = Pr, Nd, and Tm) systems are predicted by using the crystal structure analysis by the particle swarm optimization (CALYPSO) structure search method.

Mango (Mangifera indica), a leading tropical fruit crop, is a prime candidate for intensification through modern orchard-management techniques, including canopy manipulation to improve light interception. This study investigated how leaf-level acclimation to light gradients within the canopy of a high-yield, dwarfing mango cultivar (Calypso™) could be used to examine integrated canopy-scale responses. We quantified foliar morphological, biochemical, and physiological traits across a range of canopy positions using this information to model canopy-scale productivity within digital-twin representations of mango under both conventional (i.

An ECL signal amplification strategy is introduced leveraging a multimetallic catalytic amplification effect. Nickel-iron bimetallic oxide compounds were synthesised and loaded with Cu SAs catalysts on their surface to create nickel-iron layered double hydroxides/copper single atoms (NiFe-LDHs/Cu-SAs) with robust catalytic properties. These NiFe-LDHs/Cu-SAs were employed as signal amplification elements to modify gold electrodes.

Melanoma is a deadly cancer with increasing incidence and mortality rates, and biomarkers for diagnosis are urgently needed. The impact of the microbiome, genetic factors, and immunologic markers on disease outcomes is described, but a comprehensive serum metabolome profiling is missing. The serum metabolome of patients with melanoma might be valuable to identify potential biomarkers.

Neonicotinoids and strobilurins are commonly used pesticides in agriculture, posing significant risks to aquatic animals. In this study, the toxic effects of thiacloprid and trifloxystrobin on Astacus leptodactylus were evaluated using various biomarkers, including acetylcholinesterase, carboxylesterase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, total antioxidant content, total oxidant scavenging capacity, adenosine 5'-TriPhospahatases, fatty acid composition, and vitamin E level. Both pesticides significantly affected the biomarkers compared to the control, activating and inhibiting them.
