A probabilistic safety assessment model has been developed for assessing the performance of near surface disposal facilities for low-level radioactive waste. Two modes of disposal such as single dump and multiple dump are considered in the model. The model is composed of four components: source term, repository failure, geosphere transport and radiological assessment. The source term contains l...

A study was undertaken in southern peninsular state of India, the Tamil Nadu State, to assess the farmers’ “Willingness to pay” (WTP) for receiving annual health care services to their dairy animals. The districts of the state were categorized as “Livestock developed” (LD) and “Livestock under developed” (LUD) based on initial base line developed. Contingent valuation (CV) approach was used to ...

Let L be a set of n lines in the plane, not necessarily general position. We present an efficient algorithm for finding all vertices arrangement $$\mathcal{A}(L)$$ maximum level, where level vertex v is number that pass strictly below v. The problem, posed Exercise 8.13 de Berg et al. (Computational Geometry. Algorithms and Applications. Springer, Berlin (2008)), appears to much harder than it ...
