Probability of detection (POD) is a discipline within the field of nondestructive testing, that bears on the reliability of the inspection and has been of great value for selecting and validating NDT procedures, qualifying NDT personnel, and even establishing the acceptability of structural designs. This paper shows a way to bring the POD concept to AE technology. It reports the development of ...

Milling time is one of the most important factors for achieving the desired particle size of milled powders. Generally, the particle size of milled powders decreases with increasing milling time. However, long milling time results in agglomeration of small particles for some powders [9]. The using of the NDT method gives lot information about these microstructures in particular the magnetic NDT...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of nondieting versus dieting treatments for overweight, binge-eating women. Participants (N = 219) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: diet treatment (DT), nondiet treatment (NDT), or wait-list control (WLC). DT received a balanced-deficit diet reinforced with behavioral strategies. NDT received therapy designed to help participants break out of their...

To have a safe and reliable railway system, nondestructive testing (NDT) methods are necessary to be implemented in order to avoid catastrophic failures. NDT methods also provide a powerful tool for proper maintenance of valuable railway system assets. Among various NDT methods, ultrasonic testing (UT) along with magnetic particle testing (MPT) and eddy current testing (ECT) play significant ro...

Usually, innovations in NDT are part of many main-stream, state-of-the-art development efforts in science and technology and applicable regulations, codes and standards often significantly slow down the development of innovative products. Fortunately, the world is changing. The formation of global markets, mobility of production, and effective international scientific networks are accelerating ...

Prognostic research focuses on the prediction of the future course of a given disease in probability terms. Prognostication is performed by clinical decision makers by using risk prediction models that allow us to estimate the probability that a specific event occurs in a given patient over a predefined time period conditional on prognostic factors (predictors). Before application in clinical p...
