Ensuring industrial safety of pipelines with developed hard sections

Infrared Safety in Factorized Hard Scattering Cross-Sections

The rules of soft-collinear effective theory can be used naı̈vely to write hard scattering cross-sections as convolutions of separate hard, jet, and soft functions. One condition required to guarantee the validity of such a factorization is the infrared safety of these functions in perturbation theory. Using e+e− angularity distributions as an example, we propose and illustrate an intuitive meth...

Ensuring safety of DNA vaccines

In 1990 a new approach for vaccination was invented involving injection of plasmid DNA in vivo, which elicits an immune response to the encoded protein. DNA vaccination can overcome most disadvantages of conventional vaccine strategies and has potential for vaccines of the future. However, today 15 years on, a commercial product still has not reached the market. One possible explanation could b...

Ensuring infectious safety of colonoscopy

Results Bacterial contamination of instrumental channels (samples 1, 2, and 3) in 17 colonoscopes after their use, brushing, and processing in AER was 8.7 (8-10), 4.74 (3.32-6.3), and 0 lgCFU/ml, respectively. Bacterial contamination (samples 1 and 3) of 16 colonoscopes processed in AER only was 8.87 (8-9.7) and 3.8 (2.7-4.85) lgCFU/ml, respectively. Bacterial contamination (samples 1, 2, and 3...

CyliCon: software package for 3D reconstruction of industrial pipelines

As-built reconstruction of existing industrial facilities such as power plants still involves much interactive work even though photogrammetry techniques are greatly used in this process. The majority of existing systems are based on 3Dpoint reconstruction. In general, these systems only use epipolar geometry to help the user. CyliCon is a software package for 3D reconstruction of industrial pi...
