Original scientific paper In the paper an experimental research has been carried out regarding the possibility for the use of incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) in the production of cement mortars with partial cement replacement. Different mixtures of cement mortar have been investigated, with comparison of its basic characteristics with and without certain amounts of added ISSA that was inci...

Original scientific paper The influence of sound loudness in an enclosed cavity caused by thickness variation of plastic plate, which is simply supported on an enclosed cavity with five rigid walls and excited by a harmonic force, is studied in this article by using numerical algorithms. Based on Finite Element Method (FEM) and Zwicker’s Loudness Model, loudness in a structural-acoustic coupled...

Original scientific paper In order to obtain the skewed pressure characteristics, the physical model tests, adopting two kinds of excavation sequences of the bench method and the expanding method, were conducted under the different confining pressures for observation thermal radiation characteristics of the skewed pressure induced by step-by-step excavation for a double-arch tunnel. Firstly, un...

Background and Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the potential value of carotid artery calcification observed on plain radiographs in patients referred for carotid angiogram in the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis. Methods: One hundred sixty consecutive patients with suspected carotid artery stenosis underwent both plain radiographs of the carotid arteries and digital subtract...

CASE SERIES SUMMARY Two cats with a marginally resected eyelid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour were treated with adjuvant strontium plesiotherapy a few weeks after surgery. The dose applied in both cases was 200 Gy to the surface, in five fractions, on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday basis. The treatment aimed to achieve a clinical margin of approximately 1 cm around the surgical scar and mu...

The flexibility and the wide deployment of IP technologies have driven the development of IP-based solutions for wireless networks, like IP-based Radio Access Networks (RAN). These networks have different characteristics when compared to traditional IP networks, imposing very strict requirements on Quality of Service (QoS) solutions, such as fast dynamic resource reservation, simplicity, scalab...
