sustainability of water supply networks should be based on the risks of water hammer phenomenon. the purpose of this study is to provide a new approach to the analysis of water hammer phenomenon in the water supply network. by conventional methods, the damage because of water hammer is estimated based on the maximum pressure at nodes. however, during this phenomenon continuation and changing of...

We estimate the rebound effect for motor vehicles, by which improved fuel efficiency causes additional travel, using a pooled cross section of US states for 1966-2001. Our model accounts for endogenous changes in fuel efficiency, distinguishes between autocorrelation and lagged effects, includes a measure of the stringency of fuel-economy standards, and allows the rebound effect to vary with in...

The Rupnik military line was established in about 1935 the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as a defence system against Italy. It consists more than 4000 reinforced concrete bunkers positioned on eastern part Rapallo border, varying size and purpose, top-secret project at time. Different non-destructive non-invasive techniques were used to characterise selected carefully conceived samples gain an insight ...

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a lifelong disease of the brain and spinal cord. Fingolimod is an oral drug which modulates the S1P receptor and is used for relapsing remitting form of MS and can causes rebound activity if it is ceased even in a short period of washout time.   Case Report: Here, we introduce a young girl, a known case of MS, who developed revers...

We present an improved MR brain image registration algorithm, called TPS-HAMMER, which is based on the concepts of attribute vectors and hierarchical landmark selection scheme proposed in the highly successful HAMMER registration algorithm. We demonstrate that TPS-HAMMER algorithm yields better registration accuracy, robustness, and speed over HAMMER owing to (1) the employment of soft correspo...

Abstract Study was related to the influence of concrete properties by using different percentages metakaolin and fixed percent incineration bottom ash partially replace cement. Cement is a well-known building material used for construction in world. Moreover, (MK) (IBA) this research would give significance our environment as it can reduce usage cement concrete. By ash, could land filling space...
