Thermosetting polymers with permanent crosslinking networks have been intensively used in high-performance applications requiring thermal stability, chemical resistance, and structural integrity. However, they are extremely hard to be reprocessed recycled using conventional techniques. The recently developed solvent-assisted recycling technique is shown depolymerize recycle thermoset wastes low...

This paper investigates the profitability of a trading strategy based on training a model to identify stocks with high or low predicted returns. A tail set is defined to be a group of stocks whose volatility-adjusted price change is in the highest or lowest quantile, for example the highest or lowest 5%. Each stock is represented by a set of technical and fundamental features computed using CRS...

The world of communication is now developing faster than ever. Telecommunication infrastructure deployment in contrast is a slow and costly process demanding a long-range strategic perspective in decision making. As a consequence, R&D efforts are concerned with problems on a time horizon of 10 years or more. Studying the feasibility and viability of various future infrastructure architectures a...

Nowadays, carotenoids are valuable molecules in different industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, poultry, food and cosmetics. These pigments not only can act as vitamin A precursors, but also they have coloring and antioxidant properties, which have attracted the attention of the industries and researchers. The carotenoid production through chemical synthesis or extraction from plants is ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Thermophilic bacteria are less studied but important group of microorganisms due to their ability to produce industrial enzymes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, thermophilic bacteria were isolated from hot spring of Tarabalo, India. A bacterium that could tolerate high temperatures was characterized by morphology, biochemistry and sequencing of its 16S rRNA gene...

XtremWeb-CH (XWCH) is a volunteer computing middleware that makes it easy for scientists and industrials to deploy and execute their parallel and distributed applications on a public-resource computing infrastructure. XWCH supports various high performance applications, including those having large storage and communication requirements. Two high performance applications were ported and deploye...

The precise angle monitoring is a very important metrology task for research, development and industrials applications. Autocollimator is one of the most powerful and widely applied instruments for small angle monitoring, which is based on the principle of geometric optics. In this paper we introduce a new precise angle monitoring system, Pencil-beam Angle Monitor (PAM), base on pencil beam int...

IEEE 802.16 WiMAX is a promising new wireless technology for providing broadband ubiquitous network access. As more and more researchers and industrials are interested in simulating such networks, a number of WiMAX simulators have been emerged in the networking community. One of the most recent WiMAX simulator is the one developed for ns-3. This module provides a standard compliant and well des...

The wide spread of food outlets has become an environmental and sanitation infrastructure problem, due to Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG). A grease box is used at the industrials facilities to collect the FOG, in a specific time window, while its quality is good for recycling (e.g., biodiesel) and it is economically valuable. After this period, it will be disposed at a cost. For the proper manageme...
