Many researchers are seeking simple and successful solutions to increase the output from solar distiller. In this research work, reflective mirrors aluminium foil sheet were fixed on inner surfaces of single-slope distiller, leading more water production. The presence distillate permits reflection radiation falling inside basin. Experiments carried out three stills: first distiller is conventio...

A new evaluation method is presented that employs cut sequence set (CSS) to analyze fault trees. A cut sequence is a set of basic events that fail in a specific order that can induce top event. CSS is the aggregate of all the cut sequences in a fault tree. The paper continues its former researches on CSS and uses CSS, composed of sequential failure expressions (SFE), to represent the occurrence...

churg-strauss syndrome (css) is a granulomatous small vessel vasculitis . it is characterized by asthma, allergic granulomatosis and vasculitis . this syndrome is rare in children. a 5 years old boy was admitted with cough, fever and dyspnea for 2 weeks. on the basis of  laboratory data (peripheral eosinophilia), associated with skin biopsy, and history of css in his sister, this disease was ev...

Due to its capability to resist jamming signals, chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technique has attracted much attention in the area of wireless communications. However, there has been little rigorous analysis for the performance of the CSS communication system in jamming environments. In this paper, we present analytic results on the performance of a CSS system by deriving symbol error rate (SER) e...

We discuss CSS radio galaxies from 2 samples of radio sources. The rst sample is a complete sample of 28 3CR galaxies with redshifts in the range 0:6 < z < 1:8 for which we have HST, UKIRT and VLA imaging data. The 2 CSS galaxies contained in this sample, 3C49 and 3C241, appear to be less active than galaxies with radio sizes of order 50{100 kpc, but similar in activity to galaxies with radio s...

It is an ill-posed problem to recover the true scene colors from a color biased image by discounting the effects of scene illuminant and camera spectral sensitivity (CSS) at the same time. Most color constancy (CC) models have been designed to first estimate the illuminant color, which is then removed from the color biased image to obtain an image taken under white light, without the explicit c...

Intercrosses between inbred lines provide a traditional approach to analysis of polygenic inheritance in model organisms. Chromosome substitution strains (CSS) have been developed as an alternative to accelerate the pace of gene identification in quantitative trait mapping. We compared a classical intercross and three CSS intercrosses to examine the genetic architecture underlying plasma high-d...

PURPOSE To report our 20 yr experience of definitive radiotherapy for early glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS AND MATERIALS Radiation records of 141 patients were retrospectively evaluated for patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics. Cox proportional hazard models were used to perform univariate (UVA) and multivariate analyses (MVA). Cause specific survival (CSS) and overal...
