INTRODUCTION Workforce is one of the pillars of development in any country. Therefore, the workforce's health is very important, and analyzing its threatening factors is one of the fundamental steps for health planning. This study was the first part of a comprehensive study aimed at comparing the fitting methods to analyze and model the factors threatening health in occupational injuries. MET...

abstract soil quality is an essential concept for maximum agriculture production without environmental destruction. studying soil physical quality indicators, that express soil structural stability and soil air-water balance in root zone, is one of the most important aspects of soil quality. so determination of optimal range for pore volume distribution is important and this research carried ou...

Digital image analysis of high-density spot array images is a crucial part of high-throughput gene expression and transcript frequency profiling experiments in array technology. With increasing density of the spot arrays and large numbers of images a fully automated approach becomes mandatory in order to be capable of analyzing the masses of data. Fully automated means that no user interaction ...

introduction: in recent years, due to the reduction in surface water, utilization of groundwater has been increased to meet the growing demand of irrigation water. the quality of these water resources is continually changing, due to the geological formations, the amount of utilization, and climatic parameters. in many developing countries, the irrigation water is obtained from poor quality grou...

In conventional wireless systems, unless a contiguous frequency band with width at least equal to the required bandwidth is obtained, multimedia communication can not be effected with the desired Quality of Service. We propose here a novel channel allocation technique to overcome this limitation in a Cognitive Radio Network which is based on utilizing several non-contiguous channels, each of wi...

Mobile radio systems for public safety and agencies engaged in emergency response and disaster recovery operations must support multicast voice traffic. In this paper, we analyze the distribution of call inter-arrival and call holding times for multicast voice (talk group) traffic on a transmission trunked mobile radio system. In such systems, the channel is held only while a user is making a c...

The Gentzen-Kripke construction of the semantics for intermediate logic LQ, which is obtainable from the intuitionistic propositional logic H by adding the weak law of excluded middle -*A v —• —1>4, is presented. Our construction spans the Gentzen system and the Kripke semantics for LQ by providing the way from the cut-elimination theorem to model-theoretic results. The completeness and decidab...

The smart grid approach is envisioned to take advantage of all available modern technologies in transforming the current power system to provide benefits to all stakeholders in the fields of efficient energy utilisation and of wide integration of renewable sources. Energy storage systems could help to solve some issues that stem from renewable energy usage in terms of stabilizing the intermitte...

Cloud computing focuses on delivery of reliable, Fault-tolerant and scalable infrastructure for hosting Internet based application services. Cloud computing has become a new age technology that has got huge potentials in enterprises and markets. Clouds can make it possible to access applications and associated data from anywhere. Resource allocation is one of the important challenges in cloud c...
