an artificial neural network (ann) model is developed for the analysis, simulation, and prediction of the austenite reversion in the thermo-mechanical treatment of 304l austenitic stainless steel. the results of the ann model are in good agreement with the experimental data. the model is used to predict an appropriate annealing condition for austenite reversion through the martensite to austeni...

introduction one of the central questions in radiological protection is the magnitude of the risks from low doses of radiation, related to the justification and optimization of the diagnostic medical exposures. therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the cancer incidence and mortality risks in children of different ages, sizes, and ethnicities undergoing computed tomography examination...

Computer simulations have conventionally been understood to be either extensions of formal methods such as mathematical models or special cases empirical practices experiments. Here, I argue that computer are best instruments. Understanding them can better elucidate their actual role well potential epistemic standing in relation science and other scientific methods, devices.

Photocatalysis has been considered future technology for green energy conversion and environmental purification, including carbon dioxide reduction, water splitting, air/water treatment, antimicrobial purposes. Although various photocatalysts with high activity stability have already found, the commercialization of photocatalytic processes seems to be slow; it is thought that difficulty in scal...
