In autumn 1978 the IAEA arranged a Study Tour on Radiation Protection and Waste Management, as a form of technical assistance to developing countries. This tour was organized in collaboration with the Governments of Czechoslovakia, Federal Republic of Germany, France, German Democratic Republic and Hungary, and led through all of these countries. The present review covers only one aspect of thi...

knowing of formation of a legal rule is an efficient way to recognizing and assessing of that rule. anticipatory breach doctrine became apparent in common law when the court in hochster versus de la tour case (1980), hold that a party could breach an executor contract prior to the performance date and injured party entitle to sue at once. before it, courts had made a negative answer to this mat...

This paper describes theoretical and experimental results for the auto-calibration of sensor platform consisting of a camera and a laser range finder. Real-world use of autonomous sensor platforms often requires the re-calibration of sensors without an explicit calibration object. The constraints are based upon data captured simultaneously from the camera and the laser range finder while the se...

A ray-based method has been proposed as a neutral description method for various kinds of 3-D images. In this paper, we propose a new method for converting a set of range and color data of 3-D objects obtained by a range finder into ray data. This method enables us to handle range data in the same manner as other kinds of 3-D images and to use conventional image processing techniques to improve...

We have previously introduced the idea of compensatory decision support on mobile devices as going beyond querying and filtering offered by many location-based services (LBS) today. Our Hotel Finder application uses multi-criteria decision-making methods to provide targeted suggestions for selecting facilities that best address the users’ personal requirements. In this paper, we compare the Hot...

During the engineering design process people need to locate colleagues with knowledge to resolve a problem. As identified by discussions with practicing designers the use of computer based systems that assist users with finding such expertise will become increasingly important. In this paper we discuss the development of an agent based Expertise Finder suitable for use within an engineering des...

The problem of existence of closed knight tours for rectangular chessboards was solved by Schwenk in 1991. Last year, in 2011, DeMaio and Mathew provide an extension of this result for 3-dimensional rectangular boards. In this article, we give the solution for n-dimensional rectangular boards, for n > 4.

objectives this study compared the effects of peer education and an orientation tour on anxiety in patients who were candidates for coronary artery angiography. patients and methods this single blind quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2014. a total of 177 patients who were candidates for coronary artery angiography were divided into three groups: a peer education group, an orientation to...
