Hazardous waste management should fulfil the following three main goals: (i) to protect human health and the environment, (ii) to reduce waste while conserving energy and natural resources and (iii) to reduce or eliminate the volume of waste to dispose of. The last two of these goals may derive from recycling, which aims at reducing raw materials and energy consumption and decreasing the volume...

As business activities becoming more digitalized, electronic information is often produced as vital evidence during civil litigation. The process of discovering information as evidence is getting increasingly expensive as the volume of data explodes. This surging demand calls for a solution to reduce the cost associated with discovery. In this paper, we propose filtering included emails as a me...

Background/introduction In managing women with large uterine fibroids, GnRH agonists can be used to reduce fibroid volume and decrease vascularity to enhance treatment outcomes with MRgFUS. GnRH agonists have been shown to reduce fibroid volume by as much as 30-40%. The purpose of this study was to examine the responsiveness of fibroids to pre-treatment with a GnRH agonist in relation to their ...

When users put their files on remote storage, it is important to update local changes in short time. Due to the redundancy between successive versions of files, compare-by-hash and delta compression have been studied to reduce total volume locally transmit. Better performance are desirable since plain compare-byhash does not fully exploit redundancy and delta compression lay additional space de...

Volume free electron laser uses volume distributed feedback (VDFB), which can essentially reduce the threshold current of generation and provides the possibility of smooth frequency tuning. An undulator VFEL is considered.
