Data Mining in Radiation Portal Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently deployed passive gamma and neutron detectors screen for illicit nuclear material. Archived data can help evaluate special nuclear material detection probabilities and investigate several related issues, including (1) nuisance gamma alarms arising from naturally occurring radiation, (2) the impact of drifting neutron and gamma background rates, and (3) radioisotope identification performance. This paper illustrates roles for data mining to investigate issue (1) and briefly reviews data mining to investigate issues (2) and (3).

Uncertainties and Complexities of the Geological Model in Slope Stability: a Case Study of Sabzkuh Tunnel
Slope stability analysis is a geotechnical engineering problem characterized by many sources ofuncertainty. In slope stability computations, some of these sources are encountered, such as geologicaldetails missed in the exploration program, estimation of soil properties that are difficult to quantifyand many other relevant factors. Therefore, accurate reproduction of the spatial variability in ...
