Open AccessBenchmarking techniques for stereotactic body radiotherapy for early-stage glottic laryngeal cancer: LINAC-based non-coplanar VMAT vs. Cyberknife planning
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) was found effective in treating laryngeal cancer with only five treatment fractions by a recent clinical trial (NCT01984502, ClinicalTrials.gov). Nevertheless, this t...

Photosynthetic Metabolism in Barley Leaves Infected with Powdery Mildew
Rusts and powdery mildews are biotrophic fungal pathogens which infect a wide variety of economically important plants. The powdery mildews are ectoparasites forming dense white mycelia on the leaf surface, wi...

Photoinhibition of Isolated Chloroplasts and Protoplasts
Exposure of higher plants to irradiances in excess of those which can be dissipated by photochemistry or other mechanisms causes loss of photosynthetic performance (1). The tendency for this process (photoinhi...

Fluorescence Induction in a Thylakoid System Reconstituted for Photosynthetic Carbon Assimilation
Upon illumination of leaves, the yield of fluorescence from chlorophyll decreases from a maximum (P) reached within ls to a steady state (T) several minutes later. During the PT quenching a series of transient...
