Treatment planning methods are provided that determine the variability of relative biological effectiveness (RBE) along a beam line and calculate, among other things, what intensity of hadron beam such as a proton or a carbon ion beam should be applied to achieve a desired biological dose at treatment site of a patient afflicted with a medical condition. Typically, three or four RBE values at three or four corresponding spacially- dispersed intervals along the beam line are calculated. In one embodiment, two RBE values for the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) region of the treatment site; one for the proximal section and one for the declining distal section is calculated. A third and different RBE value may be determined for the distal edge reg...

An airfoil for a micro air vehicle that includes components enabling the airfoil to adjust the angle of attack (AOA) of the airfoil in response to wind gusts, thereby enabling the airfoil to provide smooth flight. The airfoil may include a first compliant region positioned between an inboard section and a first outboard section and may include a second compliant region between a second outboard section and the inboard section. The compliant regions enable the first and second outboard sections to bend about a leading edge section and move relative to an inboard section. This action creates smoother flight due to numerous aerodynamic advantages such as a change in the angle of attack and improved wind gust rejection due to adaptive washout a...
