Optically transparent wood, combining optical and mechanical performance, is an emerging new material for light-transmitting structures in buildings with the aim of reducing energy consumption. One of the main obstacles for transparent wood fabrication is delignification, where around 30 wt % of wood tissue is removed to reduce light absorption and refractive index mismatch. This step is time c...

This paper focuses on implementing a multi-agent simulation using distributed Linux cluster for swarm intelligence between multiple agents in the context of a battlefield or hostile area scenario. Different aspects from several different papers can provide ways in which to develop an autonomous agent algorithm. An autonomous agent algorithm will have the group of individual worker agents collec...

The nursing workforce is aging more rapidly than the workforce as a whole, and fewer young people are entering the profession. It is imperative that older nurses be retained, not only for their experience and expertise, but also to prevent worsening an already critical nursing shortage. A descriptive survey design was used to determine the knowledge base and plans for the aging RN workforce by ...

Introduction. Health care services require nurses , who are critical thinkers,with high learning Skills, who can solve problems for which there are often no standard solutions. Therefore, a change in the way teachers teach merits consideration. Frost argued that pbl equiped nurses with skills demanded by society. Methods. With above consideration, this research , that is a semi-exprimenta...

optimal design of cantilever reinforced concrete retaining wall can lead considerable cost saving if its involvement in hill road formation and railway line formation is significant.  a study of weight reduction optimization of reinforced cantilever retaining wall subjected to a sloped backfill using differential evolution algorithm (dea) is carried out in the present research.  the retaining w...
