this article present the result from a study of two sediment cores collected from theenvironmentally distinct zones of ces. accumulation status of five toxic metals: cadmium (cd), chromium(cr), cobalt (co), copper (cu) and lead (pb) were analyzed. besides texture and chns were determined tounderstand the composition of the sediment. enrichment factor (ef) and anthropogenic factor (af) wereused ...

This paper presents a new schedulability test for safety-critical software undergoing a transition from single-core to multicore systems a challenge faced by multiple industries today. Our migration model, consisting of a schedulability test and execution model, is distinguished by three aspects consistent with reducing transition cost. First, it assumes externally-driven scheduling parameters,...

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of core stability exercises in the trunk area on lower limb alignment and lower and upper limb function in Kyokushin athletes. Methods: The statistical sample of the research consisted of 30 female kyokushin players aged 14-18 years, who were randomly divided into two control and experimental groups. The control group perform...

Background & Aims of the Study: Heat Stress is a major factor in many industrials and heat stress is one of occupational hazards in the workplace and severely affects the health and productivity, heat stress can decrease efficiency, increase accidents and reduce safety levels. Aim of this study was comparing the heat stress indices of HSI and WBGT and core body temperature in steels ind...

In this article we study approaches that can be used to minimise the convergence time, we also make a focus on microloops phenomenon, analysis and means to mitigate them. The convergence time reflects the time required by a network to react to a failure of a link or a router failure itself. When all nodes (routers) have updated their respective routing and forwarding databases, we can say the n...

We developed several novel two-dimensional (2D) NMR core analysis techniques, which not only enhance the analysis of fluid-saturated rock samples, but also open up an unexplored area for petrophysical research. This is different from the conventional one-dimensional (1D) NMR core analysis, in which only the proton population versus relaxation times, i.e., T1,2 distribution, is displayed to char...

As part of an I-NERI project to develop safety analysis codes and experimental validation for a VeryHigh Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTGR), we have developed MCNP5 [1] models to represent material heterogeneities inherent in the microsphere fuel particles and fuel compacts for a GT-MHR design [2]. We have also performed preliminary coupled nuclear-thermalhydraulic (NTH) analysis to obtain ...
