Abstract Recent economics literature emphasises the inextricable link between economic prosperity and efficient energy supply consumption, arguing vehemently that much of today’s is predicated on secure reliable use modern industry would grind to a halt without necessary infrastructure. France an example advanced country with enormous The country’s growth has been rather sluggish in recent year...

The aim of the study is an uncertainty analysis of an air dispersion model[ The model used is described in NRPB!R80 "Clarke\ 0868#\ a model for short and medium range dispersion of radionuclides released into the atmosphere[ Uncertainties in the model predictions arise both from the uncertainty of the input variables and the model simpli_cations\ resulting in parameter uncertainty[ The uncertai...

Although volume excess causes hypertension, whether it also affects circadian patterns of arterial pressures among hemodialysis patients remains unknown. To test the notion of whether volume overload is associated with a unique blood pressure (BP) “signature,” a posthoc analysis was performed among 145 patients participating in the Dry-Weight Reduction in Hypertensive Hemodialysis Patients rand...

BACKGROUND This retrospective study aims to assess the usefulness of SUV(max) from FDG-PET imaging as a prognosticator for primary biopsy-proven stage I NSCLC treated with SBRT. METHODS This study includes 95 patients of median age 77 years, with primary, biopsy-confirmed peripheral stage IA/IB NSCLC. All patients were treated with 60 Gy in 3 fractions with a median treatment time of six days...

BACKGROUND International studies show that most people prefer to die at home; however, hospitals remain the most common place of death (PoD). This study aims to investigate the patterns in PoD and the associated factors, which are crucial for end-of-life cancer care enhancement. METHOD This retrospective, population-based study analyzed all registered cancer deaths in Qatar between January 1,...

spatial-temporal modeling of air pollutants, ground-level ozone concentrations in particular, has attracted recent attention because by using spatial-temporal modeling, can analyze, interpolate or predict ozone levels at any location. in this paper we consider daily averages of troposphere ozone over tehran city. for eliminating the trend of data, a dynamic linear model is used, then some featu...

The Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) Advanced Land Imager (ALI), developed as part of NASA’s New Millennium Program, utilizes advances in imaging technologies and techniques to provide high-quality image data compatible with that produced from currently available Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) technology. As opposed to the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) focal plane design that uses 136 de...

We consider a random variable X satisfying almost-sure conditions involving G := DX; DL X where DX is X’s Malliavin derivative and L 1 is the pseudo-inverse of the generator of the OrnsteinUhlenbeck semigroup. A lower(resp. upper-) bound condition on G is proved to imply a Gaussian-type lower (resp. upper) bound on the tail P [X > z]. Bounds of other natures are also given. A key ingredient is ...
