As an important part of pretreatment before recycling, sorting has a great impact on the quality, efficiency, cost and difficulty recycling. In this paper, dual-energy X-ray transmission (DE-XRT) combined with variable gas-ejection is used to improve quality efficiency in-line automatic waste non-ferrous metals. A method was proposed judge ability, identify types, calculate mass center-of-gravi...

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors produce prolonged responses in select non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, however the identification of patients most likely to benefit is difficult. Pretreatment derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) is an easily calculated marker available in routine clinical care that has shown prognostic value in many cancer treatment settings, but i...

Distillery wastewater from the bioethanol industry contains a high level of organic content which can be converted into biogas. However, presence toxic compounds in this could inhibit biogas production. Therefore, prior detoxification distillery is required. Fenton, one Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) methods, was selected due to its performance degrade pollutants, short reaction time, and pro...

Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...

A program has been developed to evaluate the delivered fluence of step-and-shoot segmental and sliding window dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC) fields. To automate these checks, a number of tools have been developed using data available from the dynamic log files that can be created each time a dynamic delivery occurs. Experiments were performed with a Varian 2100EX with a 120 leaf MLC equippe...

Sugarcane bagasse contains cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose, 39-42%, 20-25% and 25-27% respectively. So it is can be used as a sugar source in many processes. Lignin and hemicellulose must be removed before hydrolysis of cellulose. Several different pretreatment approaches have been studied. The purpose of this research is comparison of acid, ozone and combination of ozone-acid as pretreatme...

A three-dimensional (3D) intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) pretreatment verification procedure has been developed based on the measurement of two-dimensional (2D) primary fluence profiles using an amorphous silicon flat-panel electronic portal imaging device (EPID). As described in our previous work, fluence profiles are extracted from EPID images by deconvolution with kernels that repres...
