MANAGING AN INVASIVE WEED SPECIES, PARTHENIUM HYSTEROPHORUS, WITH SUPPRESSIVE PLANT SPECIES IN AUSTRALIAN GRASSLANDS

Managing an Invasive Weed Species, Parthenium hysterophorus, with Suppressive Plant Species in Australian Grasslands

Parthenium weed has been invading native and managed Australian grasslands for almost 40 years.This study quantified the potential of selected plant mixtures to suppress the growth tops of parthenium weed and followed their response to grazing and their impact upon plant community diversity.The first mixture consisted of predominantly introduced sp

Robust optimization of the Gross Tumor Volume compared to conventional Planning Target Volume-based planning in photon Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy of lung tumors

Background: Robust optimization has been suggested as an approach to reduce the irradiated volume in lung Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).We performed a retrospective planning study to investigate the potential benefits over Planning Target Volume (PTV)-based planning.Material and methods: Thirty-nine patients had additional plans using
