background: 7-lif: mg,cu,p (gr-207a) is one kind of thermo-luminescent dosimeters (tld) which can be used in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy applications. because of having suitable properties such as good sensitivity, small size and being tissue equivalent, thermo-luminescent dosimetry has been one of the most important techniques in medicine over many years. choosing a correct energy fo...

In order to determine the impact of thermo priming on germination of soybean seeds, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three replications. The factors of studied included different time thermo priming (control, 5 and 10 minutes) through the placing seeds were exposed to oven. The results showed that the effect of thermo priming was significant on germination perc...

The paper offers a new approach to handling difficult parametric inverse problems in elasticity and thermo-elasticity, formulated as global optimization ones. The proposed strategy is composed of two phases. In the first, global phase, the stochastic hp-HGS algorithm recognizes the basins of attraction of various objective minima. In the second phase, the local objective minimizers are closer a...

Title of Document: THERMO-MECHANICAL DESIGN STUDY OF FIBER OPTIC PRESSURE SENSOR DIAPHRAGMS. Yasir Majeed, Master of Science, Mechanical Engineering, 2009 Directed By: Professor Abhijit Dasgupta, Department of Mechanical Engineering This thesis parametrically explores the nonlinear design sensitivity of a fiber optic pressure sensor (FOPS), based on selected thermo-mechanical failure mechanisms...

The present work advances the inverse quantum (IQ) structural criterion for ordering and characterizing the porosity of the mesosystems based on the recently advanced ratio of the particle-to-wave nature of quantum objects within the extended Heisenberg uncertainty relationship through employing the quantum fluctuation, both for free and observed quantum scattering information, as computed upon...
