Type Ii Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5) Is Required For Circadian Pperiod Determination In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Sunghyun Hong, Hae-Ryoung Song, Kerry Lutz, Randall A. Kerstetter, Todd P. Michael, C. Robertson Mcclung Dec 2010

Type Ii Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5) Is Required For Circadian Pperiod Determination In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Sunghyun Hong, Hae-Ryoung Song, Kerry Lutz, Randall A. Kerstetter, Todd P. Michael, C. Robertson Mcclung

Dartmouth Scholarship

Posttranslational modification is an important element in circadian clock function from cyanobacteria through plants and mammals. For example, a number of key clock components are phosphorylated and thereby marked for subsequent ubiquitination and degradation. Through forward genetic analysis we demonstrate that protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5; At4g31120) is a critical determinant of circadian period in Arabidopsis. PRMT5 is coregulated with a set of 1,253 genes that shows alterations in phase of expression in response to entrainment to thermocycles versus photocycles in constant temperature. PRMT5 encodes a type II protein arginine methyltransferase that catalyzes the symmetric dimethylation of arginine residues (Rsme2). …


An Analytic Model Of Neutron Ambient Dose Equivalent And Equivalent Dose For Proton Radiotherapy, Rui Zhang, Angélica Pérez-Andújar, Jonas D. Fontenot, Phillip J. Taddei, Wayne D. Newhauser Dec 2010

An Analytic Model Of Neutron Ambient Dose Equivalent And Equivalent Dose For Proton Radiotherapy, Rui Zhang, Angélica Pérez-Andújar, Jonas D. Fontenot, Phillip J. Taddei, Wayne D. Newhauser

Faculty Publications

Stray neutrons generated in passively scattered proton therapy are of concern because they increase the risk that a patient will develop a second cancer. Several investigations characterized stray neutrons in proton therapy using experimental measurements and Monte Carlo simulations, but capabilities of analytical methods to predict neutron exposures are less well developed. The goal of this study was to develop a new analytical model to calculate neutron ambient dose equivalent in air and equivalent dose in phantom based on Monte Carlo modeling of a passively scattered proton therapy unit. The accuracy of the new analytical model is superior to a …


Estimate Of The Uncertainties In The Relative Risk Of Secondary Malignant Neoplasms Following Proton Therapy And Intensity-Modulated Photon Therapy, Jonas D. Fontenot, Charles Bloch, David Followill, Uwe Titt, Wayne D. Newhauser Dec 2010

Estimate Of The Uncertainties In The Relative Risk Of Secondary Malignant Neoplasms Following Proton Therapy And Intensity-Modulated Photon Therapy, Jonas D. Fontenot, Charles Bloch, David Followill, Uwe Titt, Wayne D. Newhauser

Faculty Publications

Theoretical calculations have shown that proton therapy can reduce the incidence of radiation-induced secondary malignant neoplasms (SMN) compared with photon therapy for patients with prostate cancer. However, the uncertainties associated with calculations of SMN risk had not been assessed. The objective of this study was to quantify the uncertainties in projected risks of secondary cancer following contemporary proton and photon radiotherapies for prostate cancer. We performed a rigorous propagation of errors and several sensitivity tests to estimate the uncertainty in the ratio of relative risk (RRR) due to the largest contributors to the uncertainty: the radiation weighting factor for neutrons, …


Assessment Of Targeting Accuracy Of A Low-Energy Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment For Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Phillip J. Taddei, Erik Chell, Steven Hansen, Michael Gertner, Wayne D. Newhauser Dec 2010

Assessment Of Targeting Accuracy Of A Low-Energy Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment For Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Phillip J. Taddei, Erik Chell, Steven Hansen, Michael Gertner, Wayne D. Newhauser

Faculty Publications

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in the United States, is a neovascular disease that may be controlled with radiation therapy. Early patient outcomes of external beam radiotherapy, however, have been mixed. Recently, a novel multimodality treatment was developed, comprising external beam radiotherapy and concomitant treatment with a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor. The radiotherapy arm is performed by stereotactic radiosurgery, delivering a 16 Gy dose in the macula (clinical target volume, CTV) using three external low-energy x-ray fields while adequately sparing normal tissues. The purpose of our study was to test the sensitivity of the delivery …


Adjustment Of The Lateral And Longitudinal Size Of Scanned Proton Beam Spots Using A Pre-Absorber To Optimize Penumbrae And Delivery Efficiency, Uwe Titt, Dragan Mirkovic, Gabriel O. Sawakuchi, Luis A. Perles, Wayne D. Newhauser, Phillip J. Taddei, Radhe Mohan Dec 2010

Adjustment Of The Lateral And Longitudinal Size Of Scanned Proton Beam Spots Using A Pre-Absorber To Optimize Penumbrae And Delivery Efficiency, Uwe Titt, Dragan Mirkovic, Gabriel O. Sawakuchi, Luis A. Perles, Wayne D. Newhauser, Phillip J. Taddei, Radhe Mohan

Faculty Publications

In scanned-beam proton therapy, the beam spot properties, such as the lateral and longitudinal size and the minimum achievable range, are influenced by beam optics, scattering media and drift spaces in the treatment unit. Currently available spot scanning systems offer fewoptions for adjusting these properties. We investigated a method for adjusting the lateral and longitudinal spot size that utilizes downstream plastic pre-absorbers located near a water phantom. The spot size adjustment was characterized usingMonte Carlo simulations of a modified commercial scanned-beam treatment head. Our results revealed that the pre-absorbers can be used to reduce the lateral full width at half …


Methodology For Determining Doses To In-Field, Out-Of-Field And Partially In-Field Organs For Late Effects Studies In Photon Radiotherapy, Rebecca M. Howell, Sarah B. Scarboro, Phillip J. Taddei, Sunil Krishnan, Stephen F. Kry, Wayne D. Newhauser Dec 2010

Methodology For Determining Doses To In-Field, Out-Of-Field And Partially In-Field Organs For Late Effects Studies In Photon Radiotherapy, Rebecca M. Howell, Sarah B. Scarboro, Phillip J. Taddei, Sunil Krishnan, Stephen F. Kry, Wayne D. Newhauser

Faculty Publications

An important but little examined aspect of radiation dosimetry studies involving organs outside the treatment field is how to assess dose to organs that are partially within a treatment field; this question is particularly important for studies intended to measure total absorbed dose in order to predict the risk of radiogenic late effects, such as second cancers. The purpose of this investigation was therefore to establish a method to categorize organs as in-field, out-of-field or partially in-field that would be applicable to both conventional and modern radiotherapy techniques. In this study, we defined guidelines to categorize the organs based on …


Risk Of Second Malignant Neoplasm Following Proton Versus Intensity-Modulated Photon Radiotherapies For Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Phillip J. Taddei, Rebecca M. Howell, Sunil Krishnan, Sarah B. Scarboro, Dragan Mirkovic, Wayne D. Newhauser Dec 2010

Risk Of Second Malignant Neoplasm Following Proton Versus Intensity-Modulated Photon Radiotherapies For Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Phillip J. Taddei, Rebecca M. Howell, Sunil Krishnan, Sarah B. Scarboro, Dragan Mirkovic, Wayne D. Newhauser

Faculty Publications

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the sixthmost common cancer in theworld, is a global health concern. Radiotherapy for HCC is uncommon, largely because of the likelihood of radiation-induced liver disease, an acute side effect that is often fatal. Proton beam therapy (PBT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)may offer HCC patients a better option for treating the diseased liver tissue while largely sparing the surrounding tissues, especially the nontumor liver. However, even advanced radiotherapies carry a risk of late effects, including second malignant neoplasms (SMNs). It is unclear whether PBT or IMRT confers less risk of an SMN than the other. The purpose …

Predicted Risks Of Second Malignant Neoplasm Incidence And Mortality Due To Secondary Neutrons In A Girl And Boy Receiving Proton Craniospinal Irradiation, Phillip J. Taddei, Anita Mahajan, Dragan Mirkovic, Rui Zhang, Annelise Giebeler, David Kornguth, Mark Harvey, Shiao Woo, Wayne D. Newhauser

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to compare the predicted risks of second malignant neoplasm (SMN) incidence and mortality from secondary neutrons for a 9-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy who received proton craniospinal irradiation (CSI). SMN incidence and mortality from neutrons were predicted from equivalent doses to radiosensitive organs for cranial, spinal and intracranial boost fields. Therapeutic proton absorbed dose and equivalent dose from neutrons were calculated using Monte Carlo simulations. Risks of SMN incidence and mortality in most organs and tissues were predicted by applying risks models from the National Research Council of the National Academies to the …

Information-Preserving Structures: A General Framework For Quantum Zero-Error Information, Robin Blume-Kohout, Hui Khoon Ng, David Poulin, Lorenza Viola Dec 2010

Information-Preserving Structures: A General Framework For Quantum Zero-Error Information, Robin Blume-Kohout, Hui Khoon Ng, David Poulin, Lorenza Viola

Dartmouth Scholarship

Quantum systems carry information. Quantum theory supports at least two distinct kinds of information (classical and quantum), and a variety of different ways to encode and preserve information in physical systems. A system’s ability to carry information is constrained and defined by the noise in its dynamics. This paper introduces an operational framework, using information-preserving structures, to classify all the kinds of information that can be perfectly (i.e., with zero error) preserved by quantum dynamics. We prove that every perfectly preserved code has the same structure as a matrix algebra, and that preserved information can always be corrected. We …
