Designing CT scanning rooms and estimating patient and personnel absorbed dose using code (MCNPX 2.6)
One of the most widely used diagnostic devices in medical imaging is computed tomography scanning with the use of X-ray ionization. After years of using this tool in the diagnosis and treatment, external doses of these beams can pose a risk of secondary cancer, which is significant in terms of radiation safety and protection. In this paper, using the Monte Carlo code MCNPX2.6 performed over thr...
متن کاملBuilding Brains for Rooms: Designing Distributed Software Agents
This paper argues that complex, embedded software agent systems are best constructed with parallel, layered architectures. These systems resemble Minskian Societies of Mind and Brooksian subsumption controllers for robots, and they demonstrate that complex behaviors can be had via the aggregates of relatively simple interacting agents. We illustrate this principle with a distributed software ag...
متن کاملpullback test for seismic performance evaluation of safe rooms
pullback test has no scrupulous theoretical establishment. it is based on the hypothesis that the response ofthe structure can be related to the response of an equivalent single degree-of-freedom (sdof) system. this implies thatthe response is controlled by a single mode. in fact, the steel frame of each safe room, which is introduced within theunreinforced masonry buildings for protecting the ...
متن کاملDesigning Efficient Fail-Safe Multitolerant Systems
In this paper, we propose a method for designing efficient fail-safe multitolerant systems. A multitolerant system is one that is able to tolerate multiple types of faults, and a fail-safe multitolerant system handles the various fault types in a fail-safe manner. Efficiency issues of interest are fault tolerance-related, and they are: (i) completeness, and (ii) accuracy. Based on earlier work,...
متن کاملDesigning Safe, Reliable Systems Using Scade
As safety critical systems increase in size and complexity, the need for efficient tools to verify their reliability grows. In this paper we present a tool that helps engineers design safe and reliable systems. Systems are reliable if they keep operating safely when components fail. Our tool is at the core of the Scade Design Verifier integrated within Scade, a product developed by Esterel Tech...
