The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) received a request on 19 September 2008 from the European Commission, Health and Consumers Directorate requesting urgent scientific advice on the risks to human health due to the possible presence of melamine in composite food products imported from China into the European Union (EU). Considering the urgency of this request for advice EFSA issued a stat...

This paper firstly introduces the structure and working principle of DSP-based parallel system, parallel accelerating board and SHARC DSP chip. Then it pays attention to investigating the system’s programming characteristics, especially the mode of communication, discussing how to design parallel algorithms and presenting a domain-decomposition-based complete multi-grid parallel algorithm with ...

Fifteen documents are incorporated by reference in the airborne toxic control measure to reduce formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products. Section 93120.10 lists the fifteen documents which are incorporated by reference. Due to the length and volume of these documents, publishing them in the California Code of Regulations would be cumbersome, unduly expensive and otherwise impractical...

The strength of a corrugated container is usually determined and reported as crush strength under progressively increasing top-to-bottom compressive load. The test is performed in seconds in a controlled constant temperature and relative humidity environment. However, a dynamic strength test under controlled conditions cannot account for the reduction in load-carrying ability inherent in the ex...

conclusions the layout of whiteboard in classrooms can be effective in causing student’s neck pain. in this study, the suitable height of installation of whiteboard was determined and it is recommended to be used in classrooms. background the mismatch between equipments and anthropometric dimensions of users is one of the issues that can be effective on development of musculoskeletal disorders ...

This paper describes Zenith, a discovery system that performs constructive induction. The system is able to generate and extend new features for concept learning using agenda-based heuristic search. The search is guided by feature worth (a composite measure of discriminability and cost). Zenith is distinguished from existing constructive induction systems by its interaction with a performance s...

particle size, board density and adhesive content are the most important factors, influencing on physical and mechanical properties of particleboard. in this study the effects of density, adhesive content and particle size on withdrawal strength of particleboard made from populus (populus alba) particles have been studied. three levels of density including 0.65, 0.7, and 0.75 g/cm3, three level...
