The planning and optimization of WCDMA (wideband code-division multiple access)radio network issues remain vital, and are carried out using static snapshot-based simulation. To improve the accuracy of the static simulation, link-level performance factors, such as the impact of power control, pilot power and soft handover, have to be taken into account. These factors have not been investigated t...

The Static-99 and the RRASOR are actuarial risk assessment tools for evaluating the risk of sexual and violent recidivism in sexual offenders. The Static-99 was developed in 1999 by Karl R. Hanson (Canada) and David Thornton (Great Britain) and is in the mean time regularly used for risk assessment in North America and some countries in Europe. The RRASOR can be described as a predecessor of th...

A new species, Protaphorura genheensis sp. nov., and two new records, Protaphorura taimyrica (Martynova, 1976) and Protaphorura kaszabi (Dunger, 1978) are reported from northeast China. New localities for P. bicampata are presented. P. genheensis sp. nov. belongs to the 'oligopseudocellar' group as having fewer pso on Th. II-III and can be distinguished by the dorsal pso formula, number of pso ...

Structural health monitoring is an important aspect of maintenance for bridge columns in areas of high seismic activity. In this project, recently developed piezoceramic-based transducers, known as smart aggregates (SA), were utilized to perform structural health monitoring of a reinforced concrete (RC) bridge column subjected to pseudo-dynamic loading. The SA-based approach has been previously...
