human body consists of some tissues among which bone is one of the important living and growing tissue . in this research, energy absorption buildup factor (eabf) values of 27 types of bone have been computed for photon energy 0.03 to 1.5 mev up to 40 mean free path (40mfp) penetration depths. the inner bone tissue, spongiosa and male sternum had the largest values of eabf in low photon energie...

pedomodels have become a popular topic in soil science and environmentalresearch. they are predictive functions of certain soil properties based on other easily orcheaply measured properties. the common method for fitting pedomodels is to use classicalregression analysis, based on the assumptions of data crispness and deterministic relationsamong variables. in modeling natural systems such as s...
