Asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) have been extensively studied as data connectors between independently timed concurrent processes. In previous work, an automatic ACM synthesis method based on the generation of the reachability graph and the theory of regions was proposed. In this paper, we propose a new synthesis method based on the composition of Petri net modules, avoiding t...

An arithmetical congruence monoid (or ACM ) is a multiplicative monoid, which consists of an arithmetic sequence and the element 1. As they are traditionally defined, it is required that a ≤ b and a ≡ a (mod b) must hold to ensure closure. It is well known that unique factorization need not occur in ACMs. In this paper, we investigate factorization results when the requirement a ≤ b is dropped....

The active contour model (ACM) approach in image segmentation is regarded as a research hotspot the area of computer vision, which widely applied different kinds applications practice, such medical processing. essence ACM to make use ofuse an enclosed and smooth curve signify target boundary, usually accomplished by minimizing associated energy function means ofthrough standard descent method. ...

In the era of hyper-connectivity Web-Based Social Networks (WBSNs) are demanding applications. They facilitate the interaction of huge amounts of users and the development of appropriate Access Control Models (ACMs) is an arising necessity. Particularly, the development of WBSNs ACMs with expressive power and capable of managing access control along the whole usage process is the challenge purs...

Highly porous N-doped activated carbon monoliths (ACMs) are fabricated by carbonization and physical activation of mesoporous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) monoliths in the presence of CO(2). The monoliths exhibit exceptionally high CO(2) uptake; 5.14 mmol g(-1) at ambient pressure and temperature and 11.51 mmol g(-1) at ambient pressure and 273 K.

worldwide, asbestos fibers utilized in fiber cement boards, have been recognized as harmful materials regarding the public health and environmental pollutions. these concerns motivate the researchers to find the appropriate alternatives to substitute the asbestos material towards the sustainability policies. in this paper, the applicability of asbestos replacement with three types of agricultur...

in this survey, asbestos fiber levels within the breathing zone of employers and in the environment of an asbestos-cement factory were monitored on membrane filter and counted by phase contrast optical microscope considering length/diameter>3:i (asbestos international associational method). the plant was fairly old and utilized both white (chrysotile) and blue (chrocidolite) asbestos. in each w...

Asbestos-contaminated vermiculite attic insulation (VAI) produced from a mine near Libby, Montana, may be present in millions of homes along with other commercial asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The primary goal of the research described here was to develop and test procedures that would allow for the safe and effective weatherization of low-income homes with asbestos. The presence of asbe...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation between pulmonary concentrations of asbestos bodies and asbestos fibers and to characterize asbestos body counts from lung tissue of Finnish patients occupationally exposed and unexposed to asbestos. METHODS Ninety-nine surgically treated lung cancer patients were investigated. The number of asbestos bodies in iron-stained 5-micro...
