Application of artificial intelligence methods for estimation of maximum surface settlement caused by EPB shield tunneling
Maximum surface settlement (MSS) is an important parameter for the design and operation of earth pressure balance (EPB) shields that should determine before operate tunneling. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are accepted as a technology that offers an alternative way to tackle highly complex problems that can’t be modeled in mathematics. They can learn from examples and they are able...
متن کاملMazonakis 3/6
This study aims to provide the means for testicular dose estimation from radiotherapy for rectal cancer. Rectal irradiation was simulated on a humanoid phantom using a 6 MV photon beam. The effect of field size, distance from irradiated area, wedge introduction into lateral beams, tissue thickness along the beam axis and use of gonad shields on the testicular dose was examined. Testicular dose ...

متن کاملTesticular and para-testicular tumors in south western Nigeria.
BACKGROUND Tumors of the testis and paratesticular tissues are rare, especially in men of African descent. In recent reviews however, the incidence is rising among the Caucasians and black Americans. We set out to determine the incidence in South-Western Nigeria and to examine the histopathologic variants. METHODS A retrospective study of patients who had histopathologically confirmed testicu...
متن کاملEstimation of neutron effective dose from DD and DT neutron generators and the design of appropriate shield for standing user
Neutron Generators (NG) are used as a neutron source for different applications. During recent years, major efforts are underway to develop a high yield compact NG. In this way, radiation protection aspects need to be considered during the operation of these high yield NGs. In this paper the neutron effective dose of a NG operator has been calculated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. The results sh...
