Infrastructure recovery time estimation is critical to disaster management and planning. Inspired by recent resilience planning initiatives, we consider a situation where experts are asked estimate the for different infrastructure systems recover certain functionality levels after scenario hazard event. We propose methodological framework use expert-elicited data expected curve of particular sy...

Flotation is the most important process for concentrating mineral ores. This process may occur in any vessel such as column flotation, which has been used widely during the last decade and the conventional flotation cells. The effect of superficial feed velocity on the copper recovery was investigated using pilot-scale column flotation of "Sarcheshmeh Capper Complex". The results were compa...

volume in each test tube was adjusted to 10 ml with distilled water. The absorbance of the solutions was measured at 253 nm against distilled water as a blank and calibration curve was constructed. Similarly absorbance of sample solution was measured and amount of acyclovir was determined by referring to the calibration curve. Recovery studies were carried out by adding a known quantity of pure...

Important results were shown as cell survival points in the two panels of the figure which is reproduced in this Comment letter. A curve was fitted assuming the mono-exponential recovery half-time of 17 ± 21 minutes. The wide error limits indicate that this fit is not very good, but the notable feature of both panels is that the last four points are clearly continuing to rise, above the "fitted...

The return towards resting homeostasis in the post-exercise period has the potential to represent the internal training load of the preceding exercise bout. However, the relative potential of metabolic and autonomic recovery measurements in this role has not previously been established. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate which of 4 recovery measurements was most closely associat...

the applicability of hollow fiber-based liquid phase microextraction (hf-lpme) was evaluated for the extraction and preconcentration of loratadine prior to determination by hplc. in order to obtain high extraction recovery, the parameters affecting the hf-lpme including type of organic phase, ph of the source and receiving phases, stirring rate, extraction time and salt addition were studied an...

BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy was shown to reverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the prediction of benefit is controversial. We aimed to investigate predictive factors of LV functional recovery and reversed remodeling after biventricular pacing. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-nine consecutive patients with CHF and a wide Q...

In this paper we consider the problem of recovering the 3D motion and shape of an arbitrarily-moving, arbitrarilyshaped curve from multiple synchronized video streams acquired from distinct and known points in space. By studying the 3D motion and shape constraints provided by the input video streams, we show that (1) shape and motion recovery is equivalent to the problem of recovering the diffe...

Accurate joint models require the ability to predict soft tissue behavior. This study evaluates the ability of constitutive equations to predict the nonlinear and viscoelastic behavior of tendon and ligament during stress relaxation testing in a porcine model. Three constitutive equations are compared in their ability to model relaxation, recovery and reloading of tissues. Quasi-linear viscoela...
