Abstract. When nuclear power plants are dismantled, only a small portion is heavily contaminated with radioactivity and must be stored in repository. The remaining material, mainly concrete rubble (construction waste), decontaminated if necessary can conventional surface landfills after clearance. focus of this work on the modelling such radioactive substances during raining events. influence h...

Swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the latest advancement in anterior segment imaging. There are limited data regarding its performance after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We compared the reliability of swept-source OCT and Scheimpflug imaging for evaluation of corneal parameters in refractive surgery candidates with myopia or myopic astigmatism. Three consecutive measur...

Biofilters (BFs) and biotrickling filters (BTFs) are two types of bioreactors used for treatment volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Both BFs BTFs use packing materials in which various microorganisms immobilised. The water phase is stationary to maintain the humidity materials, while have a mobile liquid phase. Optimisation irrigation crucial effective performance BTFs. A literature review pres...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of carbolic acid treatment of bronchopleural fistula (BPF) using bronchofiberscope (BFS) in post-pulmonectomy patients. METHOD Twelve patients with post-pulmonectomy BPF were enrolled in this study at the Liaoning Tumor Hospital between February 2009 and March 2012. Three patients had BPF after the right pneumonectomy, six patients after left pneumonectom...

Predicting and identifying an optimal navigational forecasting for a mobile robot agent is considered to be one of the key challenges for researchers in the field of AI and robotics. A mobile robot agent participating for wide range of mission critical application will explore into an unknown environment will be challenging criteria, considering its contraints such as time, cost, energy, explor...

We explore the use of distributed processing to enhance the performance of explicit state enumeration based safety model-checking. A central problem in distributed model-checking is checking whether a state generated by a processor has already been visited by another processor. This requires hash-table look-up messages to be exchanged. These messages can dramatically offset, or even nullify, th...

We measure the Brillouin gain spectra in two cores (the central core and one of the outer cores) of a ~3-m-long, silica-based, 7-core multi-core fiber (MCF) with incident light of 1.55 μm wavelength, and investigate the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) and its dependence on strain and temperature. The BFSs of both the cores are ~10.92 GHz, and the strain- and temperature-dependence coefficients ...

To overcome the complexities in Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (T2FSs) and to present a general model for chaotic FSs, this paper introduces new FSs called Bifurcating FSs (BFSs). The BFS is inspired from human brain. Mathematically, it is equivalent to the coupled chaotic map in which one of the variables is a fuzzy membership function. Biologically, it is equivalent to the oscillatory neuron in which a fu...

A model is proposed that can be used to classify algorithms as inherently sequential. The model captures the internal computations of algorithms. Previous work in complexity theory has focused on the solutions algorithms compute. Direct comparison of algorithms within the framework of the model is possible. The model is useful for identifying hard to parallelize constructs that should be avoide...
