Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

29
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

41.6K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing...

Energy Conservation and Bernoulli's Equation

7.6K
Applying the conservation of energy principle or the work-energy theorem to an incompressible, inviscid fluid in laminar, steady, irrotational flow leads to Bernoulli's equation. It states that the sum of the fluid pressure, potential, and kinetic energy per unit volume is constant along a streamline.
All the terms in the equation have the dimension of energy per unit volume. The kinetic energy per unit volume is called the kinetic energy density, and the potential energy per unit volume is...

Ampere-Maxwell's Law: Problem-Solving

478
A parallel-plate capacitor with capacitance C, whose plates have area A and separation distance d, is connected to a resistor R and a battery of voltage V. The current starts to flow at t = 0. What is the displacement current between the capacitor plates at time t? From the properties of the capacitor, what is the corresponding real current?
To solve the problem, we can use the equations from the analysis of an RC circuit and Maxwell's version of Ampère's law.
For the first part of...

Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution: Problem Solving01:20

Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution: Problem Solving

1.3K
Individual molecules in a gas move in random directions, but a gas containing numerous molecules has a predictable distribution of molecular speeds, which is known as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, f(v).
This distribution function f(v) is defined by saying that the expected number N (v1,v2) of particles with speeds between v1 and v2 is given by

Potential-Energy Criterion for Equilibrium01:16

Potential-Energy Criterion for Equilibrium

496
Potential energy or potential function plays an essential role in determining the stability of a mechanical system. If a system is subjected to both gravitational and elastic forces, the potential function of the system can be expressed as the algebraic sum of gravitational and elastic potential energy. If the system is in equilibrium and is displaced by a small amount, then the work done on the system equals the negative of the change in the system's potential energy from the initial to...

Background:

  • Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) provides superior dose conformity and reduced healthy tissue exposure compared to photon therapy.
  • Improving IMPT delivery efficiency is crucial for reducing motion uncertainties and enhancing treatment robustness.
  • Energy layer optimization (ELO) is essential for minimizing energy switching time and improving IMPT efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient energy layer optimization method for IMPT using a mixed integer model and variational quantum computing.
  • To reduce the number of energy layers and delivery time in IMPT while maintaining plan quality.

Main Methods:

  • Modeled the ELO problem as a mixed-integer program with continuous and binary variables.
  • Employed iterative convex relaxation and ADMM to decouple dose-volume and mixed-variable optimization.
  • Solved the beam intensity subproblem with MMU constraint and cast the binary subproblem as a QUBO for quantum computing algorithms.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method significantly reduces the number of energy layers used in IMPT (e.g., HN case from 61 to 35).
  • Achieved comparable plan quality with a reduced number of energy layers.
