background: measurement of background radiation is very important from different points of view especially for human health. the aim of this survey was focused on determining the current background radiation in one of the highest altitude regions ( zagros mountains ), chaharmahal and bakhtiari province, in the south west of iran . materials and methods: the outdoors-environmental monitoring exp...

In this study, the design of a flexible cable–strut tensile structure was optimised according to importance elements achieve high structural robustness. First, coefficients were determined by comparing their prefailure and postfailure strain energy. Moreover, effects external load, initial prestress, cross-sectional areas on analysed. Second, genetic algorithm used optimise element section mini...

We present the results of our time-resolved measurements of hot-carrier luminescence from passively quenched Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes. In time-correlated photon-counting (TCPC) experiments, hot-carrier luminescence interferes overwhelmingly with the coincidence spectrum, which results in artifacts. This potential problem should be taken into account in setting up TCPC experiments.

Due to the large amount of data and the complexity of the information , analysis of the HEGRA Geiger tower data is based on neural networks (NN). We explain the NN training and the principal characteristics of the analysis and describe rst applications to experimental data, yielding an upper limit on the combined-ray ux above 50 TeV of 16 nearby northern blazars.
