Failures of barrages or regulators or parts of them may be expected when excessive scour patterns are observed downstream of such structures. Severe and excessive scour may be largely due to unsymmetric operation of gates especially when a multi-vents barrages or regulator is being considered. Previous investigations proved that the scour patterns downstream hydraulic structures are functions o...

BACKGROUND The gamma camera uptake method with Tc-99m-DTPA is simple and less time consuming for the determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, its diagnostic accuracy is debated. Gates' method and predicted creatinine clearance method were compared with plasma clearance method with Tc-99m-DTPA for the measurement of GFR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tc-99m-DTPA renography was p...

Quantum dot cellular automata is an emerging nanoelectronic computational architecture which has the potential of faster speed, smaller size and minimum power consumption compared to transistor-based technology. In QCA, binary information are encoded as electronic charge configuration of a cell. Fundamental unit in building of QCA circuit is a QCA cell. A QCA cell is an elementary building bloc...
