  • Cricket bowling: A two-segment Lagrangian model

    Ferdinands, R. E. D.; Broughan, Kevin A.; Round, W. Howell (Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2000)
    In this study, a Lagrangian forward solution of the bowling arm in cricket is made using a two-segment rigid body model, coupled with projectile equations for the free flight of the ball. For given initial arm positions ...

  • E-learning for CPD for medical physicists

    Round, W. Howell (2013)
    The internet is increasingly being used for as a platform for providing learning opportunities to meet medical physicists’ continuing professional development (CPD) needs. But as a profession we do not take full advantage ...

  • The Education and training of clinical medical physicists in 25 European, 2 North American and 2 Australasian countries: Similarities and differences

    Stefanoyiannis, Antonis P.; Prentakis, A.; Christofides, Stelios; Gerogiannis, I.; Round, W. Howell; Geronikola-Trapali, Xenia; Armeniakos, Ioannis; Kaplanis, Prodromos A.; Prentakis, A.; Chatziioannou, S. N. (Elsevier, 2011)
    Purpose: The clinical medical physicist is part of a team responsible for safe and competent provision of radiation-based diagnostic examinations and therapeutic practices. To ensure that the physicist can provide an ...

  • Effect of the time characteristics of the Compton camera on its performance

    Uche, Chibueze Zimuzo; Round, W. Howell; Cree, Michael J. (Springer, 2011)
    Purpose: The effect of the time characteristics of the Compton camera data acquisition (DAQ) system on the camera’s performance has been studied. Methods: The GEANT4 simulation software was used to simulate radiation ...

  • Effects of energy threshold and dead time on Compton camera performance

    Uche, Chibueze Zimuzo; Round, W. Howell; Cree, Michael J. (Elsevier BV, 2011)
    We study the effects of energy threshold and dead time on the sensitivity and image resolution of the Compton camera. The simulation model includes the decay times, detection time jitters, energy threshold and detector ...
