Cyprus is facing a growing water shortage problem, therefore water losses associated with inefficiencies of the underground water distribution system are not only causing revenue losses for the local water boards but also significantly negatively affect the national water reserves. This paper presents an outline of two research projects, related to each other, “WATERSENSE” and “URBAN WATER DIST...

Published by the IEEE Computer Society 0018-9162/09/$26.00 © 2009 IEEE existing codes. In parallel scripting, users apply parallel composition constructs to existing sequential or parallel programs. With such methods, programmers can quickly specify highly parallel applications that may, depending on problem scale, require for their execution a 16-core workstation, a 16,000-core cluster, or a 1...

In this paper, two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics analyses were conducted to examine the rib effect on performance of NACA 0018 plain flapped airfoil. A mesh independence study was carried out and Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model selected for validation. Four various airfoil models designed: M1 (airfoil without flap structure), M2 with M3 a flap) M4 structure flap). The designed airf...

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SNS) with In-labelled somatostatin receptor analog is a standard procedure for the detection and staging of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs, APUDomas). NETs can be small and situated almost throughout the body. This heterogeneous group of tumors take up amino acids, transform them into biogenic amines (dopamine and serotonin) by decarboxylation, and store the ami...
