background: coordination is a critical factor in successful organization and appropriate response to disasters. in this regard, a centralized coordination mechanism is the first step towards an effective, efficient, and sustainable response in order to be ensured of the short- and long-term recovery. thus, this study aimed to identify and prioritize the barriers and facilitators of coordination...

Abstract We developed a novel terahertz-wave detector fabricated on SiC platform implementing an InP/InGaAs Fermi-level managed barrier (FMB) diode. The FMB diode epi-layers were transferred substrate, and waveguide coupler filters monolithically integrated with Then, the chip was assembled in fundamental mixer module WR-3 rectangular-waveguide-input port. It exhibited minimum noise equivalent ...

natural radionuclides present in soil as well as certain anthropogenic radionuclides released to the environment are the major contributors to terrestrial outdoor exposures. in the assessment of human exposures from environmental radioactivity, besides the conventional method of soil and vegetation sampling combined with laboratory based analyses of environmental media, the other choice would b...

in this paper, the detector of moving target in mimo radar with widely separated antenna in the presence of α-stable clutter is proposed. due to the complexity of unknown parameter estimation in the presence of target, the rao test is applied. the α-stable model is a general model that can applied to different environments with appropriate selection of parameters. the problem with this model is...
