Abstract:
This thesis details an investigation of the suitability of commercially-available single crystal and polycrystalline diamond films made via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) that were not studied previously for use in radiotherapy dosimetry. Novel sandwich-type detectors were designed and constructed to investigate the dosimetric response of diamond films under clinical conditions. Relatively inexpensive diamond films were obtained from three manufacturers: Diamonex, Diamond Materials GmbH and Element Six. Spectrophotometry, Raman spectroscopy and bulk conductivity studies were used to characterize these films and correlate crystalline quality with detector performance. Novel detectors were designed and constructed to investigate detectors under clinical conditions, including Perspex encapsulations and PCBs to minimize fluence perturbations. The dosimetric response of these diamond detectors was examined using a 6 MV beam from a Varian Clinac 600C linear accelerator. Diamond detectors were evaluated by measuring a number of response characteristics. Polycrystalline CVD diamond films from Diamonex (100, 200, 400-μm thicknesses) were considered unsuitable for dosimetric applications due to their lack of stability, low sensitivity, high leakage currents, high priming dose and dependence on dose rate. High-quality polycrystalline diamond films from Diamond Materials (100, 200, 400-μm thicknesses) displayed characteristics that varied with film thickness. A 100-μm film featured slow response dynamics and high priming doses. Thicker films featured suitable dosimetric characteristics, e.g. negligible leakage currents, low priming doses, fast response dynamics and good sensitivity with small sensitive volumes. Element Six single crystal CVD diamond films (500-μm thicknesses) with small sensitive volumes (0.39 mm³) exhibited suitable characteristics for dosimetry. These films showed negligible leakage currents (< 1.25 pA), low priming doses (1–10 Gy), quick response dynamics, high sensitivity (47–230 nC Gy⁻¹) and were weakly dependent on dose rate and directional dependence (±1%). A relatively inexpensive single crystal CVD diamond film from Element Six that exhibited high sensitivity (230 nC Gy⁻¹ at 0.5 V μm⁻¹), amongst other favourable characteristics, was selected for further analyses. An appropriate operating voltage was determined before further clinically relevant measurements could be conducted. This included how changes in an applied electric field affected detector response, and determined whether an optimal operating voltage could be realized within the parameters of conventional instrumentation used in radiation therapy. The results of this study indicated a preference towards using 62.5 V (at ~0.13 V μm⁻¹) out of a range of 30.8–248.0 V for temporal response as required for modulated beams due to its minimal rise time (2 s) and fall time (2 s) yet sufficient sensitivity (37 nC Gy⁻¹) and weak dependence on polarity (±1.5%). Investigations were then performed on the same diamond detector to evaluate its performance under more clinically relevant conditions. Repeatability experiments revealed a temporary loss in sensitivity due to charge detrapping effects following irradiation, which was modelled to make corrections that improved short-term precision. It was shown that this detector could statistically distinguish between dose values separated by a single Monitor Unit, which corresponded to 0.77 cGy. Dose rate dependence was observed when using low, fixed doses in contrast to using stabilized currents and higher doses. Depth dose measurements using this detector compared well with ion chambers and diode dosimeters. Comparisons of initial measurements with values in the literature indicate encouraging results for fields sizes < 4 x 4 cm², but further measurements and comparisons with Monte Carlo calculations are required. Using this detector to make off-axis measurements in the edge-on orientation reduced perturbation of the beam due to its sandwich configuration and thin 150 nm Ag contacts. This diamond detector was found to be suitable for routine dosimetry with conventional radiotherapy instrumentation with a materials cost of < NZ$200.

Abstract:
A randomized controlled pilot study of 9 patients who developed an open skin lesion secondary to radiation therapy for primary head and neck cancer was initiated. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine and compare the effectiveness of gentian violet (GV) and moisture vapour permeable dressing (MVPD) in promoting healing and reducing discomfort at an open lesion site secondary to radiation therapy. Patients were randomly assigned to either the gentian violet or moisture vapour permeable dressing group at the time of lesion onset. The skin care treatments were evaluated with respect to the rate of lesion healing and discomfort levels at the lesion site. Data were collected using two forms specifically designed for this study. Nine subjects completed the study. All patient’s skin lesions healed with no evidence of infection in any of the lesions. The results of the study, statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test with = 0.05, supported the two hypotheses proposed in this study. Lesions treated with MVPD demonstrated a significantly faster healing rate than did those treated with GV ( U = 8, = 0.05). The results also indicated the patients treated with MVPD experienced significantly lower levels of burning, itchiness, pulling and tenderness (U = 9, < 0.001) at the lesion site 24 hours after starting the study and when their lesions were at maximum size. Although the sample was small the results of this study tend to indicate that in the clinical practice setting, MVPD can be used effectively as a treatment for skin lesions, secondary to RT, involving the epidermal and portions of the dermal layers of the skin.

Abstract:
A design methodology to integrate solar heat into industrial process is showed in this chapter, attending restrictions like availability for area of installation, economic, environmental, and operating conditions. The evaluation of each of the restrictions allows responding to real situations that arise in the industrial sector and thereby determining the scenario that best suits the industry. To achieve this objective, the evaluation of two real scenarios was carried out; in the first one there are no installation area limitations, while in the second, only the 50% of required installation area is available. The results obtained when evaluating the scenarios exhibit a direct relationship between the available space, the capital of the investment and the CO2 emissions, but this is not reflected in the same proportion in the operation of the process. In scenario one, the payback of the integrated system is 5.99 years with zero emissions to the atmosphere. For scenario two, the reduction of CO2 emissions is 80.62% with a recovery time of the investment of the integrated system of 2.61 years. In this context, Chemical Vapour Deposition is proposing as a innovative technology to improve the solar devices efficiency.

Abstract:
Water is of central importance in the transport of solutes, whether by diffusion or mass flow, and whether in soils or plants (Lösch 1995). It is also extremely important for the biota that live in the soil (Parr et al. 1981). Water is an unusual component of the environment, because its structure suggests it should be a gas at normal temperatures rather than a liquid, and it is the only common compound in the biosphere that occurs to a significant extent in the vapour, liquid and solid phases. We begin this chapter with a very brief statement of the thermodynamic approach to the study of water, which defines the water potential. Without an understanding of chemical potentials, it is difficult to deal with the relationships of ions and water in the soil and the plant. Therefore, in this chapter we give an introduction to this subject with special reference to water, which we then take further in chapters 4 and 5. A clear exposition of this is given in Nobel (1991). The concept of chemical potential is fundamental. It is a measure of the energy state of a particular compound in a particular system, and hence of the ability of a unit amount of the compound to perform work and thereby cause change. In particular, the difference in potential at different points in a system gives a measure of the tendency of the component to move from the region with the high potential to the region with the low potential. A component of a system can have various forms of potential energy in this sense, all of which contribute to the total chemical potential. Here, we exclude chemical reaction energy and kinetic energy. The main forms of energy that contribute to the chemical potential of a specified compound or material are due to its concentration (which may release energy on dilution), to its compression (which may perform work on expansion), to its position in an electrical field (which may release energy if the component is electrically charged and moves within the field), and to its position in the gravitational field (which may release energy as the component moves downwards).
