Accurate prediction methods are generally very computationally intensive, so they take a long time. Quick methods, on the other hand, not accurate. Is it possible to design method that is both accurate and fast? In this paper, new proposed, based so-called random time-delay patterns, named RTDP method. Using these looks for most important parts of time series’ previous evolution, uses them pred...

This study examined radiocesium (137Cs) levels in fish from the vicinity of the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS), a former nuclear weapons production facility in South Carolina. Fish from the Savannah River were sampled above (upstream), along, and below (downstream) the SRS, and from Steel Creek, a tributary that runs through the SRS. There was some off-site contamination of 13...

In the conventional continuous casting of steel, either mold powder or oil can be added to lubricate the mold from sticking to the solidifying steel shell. The mold powder melts to form a molten slag or flux layer, and also acts to protect the molten steel from oxidation, to insulate the molten steel from heat loss, to absorb inclusions from the molten steel, to regulate heat transfer to mold w...

environmental degradation and economic growth are two important proofs in sustainable developmentwhich are followed by steel industry. in this case, energy and environmental damages as sustainabilitypatterns of environment have been investigated in three different dust collectors to select the mostenvironmentally suitable dust collector for electric furnace. in this article, the consumption amo...

An increased number of intermittent renewables poses a threat to the system balance. As a result, new tools and concepts, like advanced demand-side management and smart grid technologies, are required for the demand to meet supply. There is a need for higher consumer awareness and automatic response to a shortage or surplus of electricity. The distributed water heater can be considered as one o...
