WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC? Several psychotherapy treatments specifically developed for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) have proven to be effective. General psychiatric management (GPM) is one of the therapies that have been shown to be effective for reducing recurrent suicidal and self-harm behaviour, symptom distress and borderline personality disorder features. H...

This paper handles a trajectory optimization of fixed wing aircraft perch landing assisted by thruster. The paper develops aircraft model and deals with six-degree-of-freedom motion for further understanding of dynamic phenomena of proposed landing method. The landing maneuver is described as an optimal control problem minimizing the fuel consumption with specified terminal landing conditions. ...

In response to recent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Component Design Bases Inspection (CBDI) issues, many US nuclear power stations have been required to demonstrate that minimum submergence requirements were properly determined for flow withdrawal from various safety related storage tanks. In many cases, the licensees failed to consider a vortex allowance, or applied an inappropriat...

The effects of particulate matter (PM) from diesel and leaded gasoline motor vehicles exhaust emissions on sulfation of granites, syenite and gabbro stones have been experimentally studied. Abundant gypsum crystals and corrosion features developed on stones covered with diesel PM (DPM) following 72 h exposure to 100 ppm SO2 at a relative humidity of 100%. In contrast, very small amounts of gyps...

In space missions, the delay of a receiving signal to a transmission signal generally spans a few thousands microseconds due to long range observation. An efficient sampling can be achieved by transmitting pulses successively, as schematically shown in Fig. 1. For the later consideration, a catching integer n is to be introduced. In Fig. 1, the catching integer n is set at 11, for which a pulse...

Besides its NP-completeness, the strict constraints of subgraph isomorphism are making it impractical for graph pattern matching (GPM) in context big data. As a result, relaxed GPM models have emerged as they yield interesting results polynomial time. However, massive graphs generated by mostly social networks require distributed storing and processing data over multiple machines, thus, requiri...

Abstract Due to the lack of observed data, climate change impact studies are difficult conduct. This paper evaluates effect on water resources, in a Moroccan basin, using Final Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM-IMERG-F) precipitation and European Reanalysis fifth generation (ERA5) evapotranspiration. The two-parameter monthly model Rural Engineering...

Evaluating satellite ability in capturing sudden natural disasters such as heavy snowstorms is a topic of societal interest. This paper presents rapid qualitative analysis an intense snowfall Madrid using data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, specifically GPM IMERG (Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM) Late L3 Half Hourly 0.1° × V06 estimates precipitation (IME...

Accurate rainfall estimates are required to forecast the spatio-temporal distribution of rain-triggered landslides. In this study, a comparison between rain gauge and satellite data for assessing landslide in data-sparse region, mountainous district Idukki, along Western Ghats southwestern India, is carried out. Global Precipitation Mission Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals GPM-Late (GPM IM...

Extreme precipitation events such as floods and droughts have occurred with higher frequency over the recent decades a result of climate change anthropogenic activities. To understand mitigate events, it is crucial to investigate their spatio-temporal variations globally or regionally. Global products provide an alternative way in situ observations region. In this study, we evaluated performanc...
