We review the renormalization group method applied to non-equilibrium dynamics by tracing the way how the hydrodynamic equations can be derived as reduced dynamics of the Boltzmann equation as a typical example.

This work focuses on cost reduction methods for forest species recognition systems. Current state-of-the-art shows that the accuracy of these systems have increased considerably in the past years, but the cost in time to perform the recognition of input samples has also increased proportionally. For this reason, in this work we focus on investigating methods for cost reduction locally (at eithe...

Epidemiological studies have firmly demonstrated that human papillomaviruses (HPVs), are established causes of anogenital cancers (Schiffman,1995, Das et al, 2000, Kirwan & Herrington, 2001). HPV 16 and 18 are the most prevalent types in cervical lesions (Van den Brule et al, 1993). Low risk HPV types 6 and 11, in contrast, are mainly associated with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis and genit...

This paper discusses the application of plant-wide control philosophy to enhance the performance and capacity of the Produced Water Treatment (PWT) in offshore oil & gas production processes. Different from most existing facilityor material-based PWT innovation methods, the objective of this work is to propose a software-based breakthrough PWT innovation solution. This is achieved through integ...

background: increase of people’s awareness about side effects of chemical food preservatives has raised public interest to consume products with natural preservatives such as essential oils. garlic (allium sativum l.) is one of the medicinal plants in traditional medicine of iran and it is necessary to evaluate its antimicrobial effects on some food borne bacteria such as e.coli o157:h7. this b...
