    Abstract This paper investigates ellipsoid-shaped macro-encapsulated phase change material (PCM) on a component scale. The selected PCM is a paraffin-based commercial material, namely ATP60; differential scanning calorimetry and transient plane source method are used to measure ATP60's thermo-physical properties. A 0.382 m³ latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) component has been built and experimentally characterized. The temperature measurement results indicate that a thermocline was retained in the packed bed region during charging/discharging processes. The experimental characterization shows that increasing the temperature difference between the heat transfer fluid (HTF) inlet temperature and phase-change temperature by 20 K can shorten the completion time of discharge by 65%, and increasing HTF inlet flowrate from 0.15 m³/h (Re = 77) to 0.5 m³/h (Re = 256) can shorten the completion time of charge by 51%. Furthermore, a one-dimensional packed bed model using source-based enthalpy method was developed and validated by comparison to experimental results, showing discrepancies in the accumulated storage capacity within 6.6% between simulation and experiment when the Reynolds number of the HTF inlet flow ranges between 90 and 922. Compared with a conventional capsule shaped in 69-mm-diameter and 750-mm-long cylinders, the ellipsoidal capsule shows 60% less completion time of discharge but 23% lower storage capacity. Overall, this work demonstrates a combined experimental and numerical characterization approach for applying novel macro-encapsulated PCM geometries for heating-oriented LHTES.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential to increase the tumor control probability (TCP) with 'dose painting by numbers' (DPBN) plans optimized in a treatment planning system (TPS) compared to uniform dose plans. The DPBN optimization was based on our earlier published formalism for prostate cancer that is driven by dose-responses of Gleason scores mapped from apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC).
    Material and methods: For 17 included patients, a set of DPBN plans were optimized in a TPS by maximizing the TCP for an equal average dose to the prostate volume (CTVT) as for a conventional uniform dose treatment. For the plan optimizations we applied different photon energies, different precisions for the ADC-to-Gleason mappings, and different CTVT positioning uncertainties. The TCP increasing potential was evaluated by the DPBN efficiency, defined as the ratio of TCP increases for DPBN plans by TCP increases for ideal DPBN prescriptions (optimized without considering radiation transport phenomena, uncertainties of the CTVT positioning, and uncertainties of the ADC-to-Gleason mapping).
    Results: The median DPBN efficiency for the most conservative planning scenario optimized with a low precision ADC-to-Gleason mapping, and a positioning uncertainty of 0.6 cm was 10%, meaning that more than half of the patients had a TCP gain of at least 10% of the TCP for an ideal DPBN prescription. By increasing the precision of the ADC-to-Gleason mapping, and decreasing the positioning uncertainty the median DPBN efficiency increased by up to 40%.
    Conclusions: TCP increases with DPBN plans optimized in a TPS were found more likely with a high precision mapping of image data into dose-responses and a high certainty of the tumor positioning. These findings motivate further development to ensure precise mappings of image data into dose-responses and to ensure a high spatial certainty of the tumor positioning when implementing DPBN clinically.

    Abstract Background: Gleason scores for prostate cancer correlates with an increased recurrence risk after radiotherapy (RT). Furthermore, higher Gleason scores correlates with decreasing apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) data from diffusion weighted MRI (DWI-MRI). Based on these observations, we present a formalism for dose painting prescriptions of prostate volumes based on ADC images mapped to Gleason score driven dose-responses.
    Methods: The Gleason score driven dose-responses were derived from a learning data set consisting of pre-RT biopsy data and post-RT outcomes for 122 patients treated with a homogeneous dose to the prostate. For a test data set of 18 prostate cancer patients with pre-RT ADC images, we mapped the ADC data to the Gleason driven dose-responses by using probability distributions constructed from published Gleason score correlations with ADC data. We used the Gleason driven dose-responses to optimize dose painting prescriptions that maximize the tumor control probability (TCP) with equal average dose as for the learning sets homogeneous treatment dose.
    Results: The dose painting prescriptions increased the estimated TCP compared to the homogeneous dose by 0-51% for the learning set and by 4-30% for the test set. The potential for individual TCP gains with dose painting correlated with increasing Gleason score spread and larger prostate volumes. The TCP gains were also found to be larger for patients with a low expected TCP for the homogeneous dose prescription.
    Conclusions: We have from retrospective treatment data demonstrated a formalism that yield ADC driven dose painting prescriptions for prostate volumes that potentially can yield significant TCP increases without increasing dose burdens as compared to a homogeneous treatment dose. This motivates further development of the approach to consider more accurate ADC to Gleason mappings, issues with delivery robustness of heterogeneous dose distributions, and patient selection criteria for design of clinical trials.
