A form of external beam radiation therapy known as proton radiation therapy uses hydrogen (proton) ions as the main treatment beam. Because all protons have the same positive charge, magnetic fields can affect them. By employing a particle accelerator, the protons are accelerated and transformed into charged particles.

They are inserted into the patient's tumour after being charged with energy and guided using magnetic fields. Despite being created in the 1920s, proton radiation treatment has onl

For more than two decades, New American Funding (NAF) has consistently focused on leveraging the latest technology to streamline operations and develop a highly efficient lending process to power its industry-leading loan closi

Craps is a gambling game using dice. It became well-known to me from the Hollywood movies of mid last century when players gathered around a Craps table and rolled and cheered or expressed their frustration at loss after loss.

Before you start rolling out your Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), and devolving decision making to evolve your organisation, as I wrote last week, you need to consider the quality of the RAS you have to roll out.

If you have ever seen those Hollywood movies when they play Cra

Just as electrification replaces technologies that use fossil fuels with those that use electricity, Chancification replaces computations based on deterministic numbers with those based on probability distributions.

Just as non-experts can illuminate light bulbs with electricity generated by power engineers, Chancification will allow everyday managers (even those suffering from Post-Traumatic Statistics Disorder, or PTSD) to illuminate uncertainty and fix the Flaw of Averages with stochastic libr

Automated risk assessment in any organization replaces manual duties with computerized technologies and improves efficiency with accuracy.

Many corporate executives are generally focused on increasing income and prospects for expansion, but they are not as focused on minimizing and assessing risk, progressively changing as time passes. Businesses can't afford room for mistakes, specifically when all the other parties are involved, as it could result in significant lost profits for their firm.

Organizational resilience is surprisingly strange. It is not nearly as clear-cut and straight-forward as we typically believe. It is full of tensions and paradoxes, most of which have been overlooked, and few of which anyone has begun to carefully address.

In particular, leaders at all levels may have to actively surrender a great deal of control during times of great change, exactly the times where they will be tempted to ‘grab the reins’ most forcefully.

Some California utilities have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons – including the 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline explosion that killed 8 people, the 2015/6 leak from Aliso Canyon gas storage, the 2018 Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise, plus the Dominion Pipeline ransomware cyberattack that cut gasoline supply to the US Northeast.

The California Public Utilities Commission requires utilities to quantify these risks using risk-spend efficiency (RSE) to prioritize mitigations b
