Research background: Brazil, Russia, India, China, as well South Africa (BRICS) have such economic potential that, according to the expert community, by 2050 they may become dominant economies of world. The aim scientific contribution is analyze BRICS countries about Logistics Performance Index (LPI). Purpose article: Using diagnostic matrix method, analysis logistics development estimates pres...

The objective of this study was determining the heavy metal contents in sediment along the coastlines of Hormuzgan province. Sediment constitutes are important part of aquatic ecosystems. They provide habitat for benthic organisms and could be a significant sink as well as a potential source of contaminants. Three sources of heavy metals pollution in this area are industry, natural mineral...

Objectives. Current efforts to study fugitive dust (FD) are hampered by the lack of an effective, real-time instrument to measure the broad range of particle sizes that make up FD. To meet this need the overall objective of this project was to develop and evaluate a novel instrument capable of measuring, in real-time, ambient concentrations of particles between approximately 2 and 100 μm. This ...

AMINO ACIDS are efficiently absorbed in intestine and kidney by epithelial cells endowed with transporters for specific groups of amino acids. Inherited renal aminoacidurias arise as a result of mutations inactivating apical or basolateral transport systems. Although aminoacidurias are diagnosed by urine amino acid analysis, most of the disorders affect both intestinal and renal transport. In t...

Emphasis on sustainable development and the need to protect the environment as well as the adverse effects of environmental pollution on the quality of life have made environmental protection one of the main concerns of economic policymakers. For this purpose, approaches to improve the quality of the environment and the factors affecting it have triggered extensive theoretical and empirical stu...

Many users of radar today are specifying a Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) as an important tactical requirement. The term LPI is that property of a radar that because of its low power, wide bandwidth, frequency variability, or other design attributes, makes it difficult to be detected by means of passive intercept receiver devices such as electronic support (ES), radar warning receivers (RWR...

Leaf area index (LAI) can be measured either directly, using destructive methods, or indirectly using optical methods that are based on the tight relationship between LAI and canopy light transmittance. Third, innovative approach for LAI measuring is usage of remote sensing data, especially airborne laser scanning (ALS) data shows itself as a advisable source for purposes of LAI modelling in la...

Conservative parallel simulation protocols are such that each logical process (LP) in the simulation execute events only when it is certain that there will not be any time-order causality violation. Examples of conservative protocols include the asynchronous ChandyMisra-Bryant (CMB) algorithm [2], and synchronous algorithms such as that described in [1,6]. In all these protocols, time-guarantee...
