Computing environments evolve towards what is called pervasive systems: they tend to be more and more heterogeneous, decentralized and autonomous. From a data-centric point of view, applications in such environments have to use traditional databases alongside with non-conventional data sources like data streams and services. In this research, we propose a framework that allows the development o...

A stringent environmental quality standard for zinc (Zn) has been enacted by regulators because of its toxicity to aquatic life. This study’s objective was evaluate the variability Zn concentrations and fluxes in baseflow stormflow estimate contribution from point non-point sources. By using high-resolution temporal sampling, suspended solids (SS), iron (Fe), were measured a small agricultural ...

During the past two decades, the involvement of non-academic sponsors of biomedical research, particularly clinical trial research, has increased exponentially. It is estimated that between 1980 and 2003 the overall research and development expenditure by US pharmaceutical companies increased from $2 billion to $33 billion [1]. The sources of funding for biomedical research have also shifted si...

background: various variance reduction techniques such as forced detection (fd) have been implemented in monte carlo (mc) simulation of nuclear medicine in an effort to decrease the simulation time while keeping accuracy. however most of these techniques still result in very long mc simulation times for being implemented into routine use. materials and methods: convolution-based forced detectio...

In this paper, we introduce some new classes of proximal contraction mappings and establish  best proximity point theorems for such kinds of mappings in a non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space. As consequences of these results, we deduce certain new best proximity and fixed point theorems in partially ordered non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. Moreover, we present an example to illustrate the us...
