Investigation of a Biological Repair Scheme
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We also a use a series of refinements, starting from a very simple interaction set, which we feel gives an interesting and intuitive rationale for the working of the final repair scheme. ...
This note details an interaction pattern for the allocation of a scarce biological resource where and when it is needed. It is entirely based on a mass action stochastic dynamics. ...
As we understand it in this paper, a scheme or a pattern is a set of interactions between biological agents (we use the neutral term agent throughout this paper, but one can think of them as idealised ...

Pulse Frequency in Pulsed Brachytherapy Based on Tissue Repair Kinetics
1998
International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics
Purpose: Investigation of normal tissue sparing in pulsed brachytherapy (PB) relative to continuous low-dose rate irradiation (CLDR) by adjusting pulse frequency based on tissue repair characteristics. ...
Hence, a therapeutic gain might be obtained when changing from CLDR to PB by adjusting the physical dose in such a way that the biological dose on the tumor is maintained. ...
The great influence of tissue-repair kinetics on the biological effect in four different pulse schemes was also discussed in their paper. ...
