The XSL recommendation and its commercial implementations have finally reached a point of maturity that allows for their use in generating production-quality printed technical documents. However, the XSL specification does not provide any built-in features specific to the production of back-of-the-book indexes. In addition, the current commercial tools do not provide any proprietary features fo...

This report evaluates the performance of uncompressed and compressed substring indexes on build time, space usage and search performance. It is shown how the structures react to increasing data size, alphabet size and repetitiveness in the data. The main contribution is the strong relationship shown between time performance and locality in the data structures. As an example, it is shown that fo...

evaluating drainage systems, exploring their strengths and weaknesses, provides a comprehensive perspective to designers and organizers for optimum design and implementation of guidelines for the future. this study was conducted at an experimental site consisting of three plots on a subsurface drainage network under operation in behshahr, a coastal region in northern iran. to evaluate system pe...

This study on patients with localized prostate cancer was set up to investigate valuable differences using flattened beam (FB) and flattening filter free (FFF) mode in the application of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). For ten patients, four different plans were calculated with Oncentra planning system of Elekta, using Synergy machines: IMRT ...

Processes for ethanol and biogas (scenario 1) and biomethane (scenario 2) production from pinewood improved by N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) pretreatment were developed and simulated by Aspen plus. These processes were compared with two processes using steam explosion instead of NMMO pretreatment ethanol (scenario 3) and biomethane (scenario 4) production, and the economies of all processes...
