This is because the general population is exposed to benzene mainly through inhalation of contaminated air, particularly in areas of heavy traffic and around gas stations, and through inhalation of tobacco smoke from both active and passive smo...

A framework for an intelligent fusion of outputs from a combination of the state of the art nondestructive testing techniques of highway bridges and parking garages is described. A hybrid artificial intelligence system that automates the decision-making process is employed for the examination of the results obtained from various nondestructive testing methods. Neural networks, fuzzy logic, as w...
