Ethical scientific practices include all of the following EXCEPT:

The main difference between an isocentric and a non-isocentric set up is that for an isocentric setup, the TSDs will be the same regardless of the gantry angle.

Calculate the effective field size for a port that measures 16 cm. x 12 cm. with 2 small blocked areas, one measuring 2 cm. x 3 cm. and the other measuring 3 cm. x 5 cm.

Determine the dose to the kidney at a depth of 7 cm. for a single field abdominal patient using a 12 cm. x 12 cm. field size and an 18 MV beam.  The tumor dose is 250 cGy and the PDD is .865.

A patient is treated using an isocentric AP/PA midline technique, 6 MV with the prescription for a total of a 45 Gy in 25 fractions.  The IFD is 20 cm., ES is 16 cm.2, RDR is 1.0, FSF is 1.024.   A 45-degree wedge with a factor of .580 is used on both fields which are weighted 2:1, AP/PA.  Calculate the PA MU using a TAR.

Calculate the PDD of depth (d) if the dose at Dmax is 180 cGy and the dose at (d) is 127 cGy.

Determine the PDD for a patient being treated with a 6 MV beam at a depth of 6 cm. using an ES of 10.9.

Employees that do just what is in their job descriptions are effective workers.

Working from home or another site is an example of a ________________ office.

I really regret ___________ to the Olympic Games when they were in Rio. It would have been fantastic.
