The radioisotope Technetium-99m (99mTc) is used in 85% of all nuclear medicine procedures. 99mTc is produced from its precursor Molybdenum-99 (99Mo), whose production is nearly all from one of only five ageing research reactors. Recently a number of accelerator-based methods have been proposed to fill this gap and to diversify this supply chain. In this paper we present a compact (4 m) 10 mA, 3...

As mosquitoes can transmit a number of diseases such as dengue fever, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever etc., efforts have been made to control them. Control measures could be aimed at different stages of the insect in its life cycle. The measures can be classified as biological, environmental (physical) and chemical control. Integrated mosquito management approach should be adopted ...

Notice that this is a much simpler function (e.g., no logs), and it is clear that the discrepancy between the obtained covariance matrix and the covariance matrix implied by the model (S-Σ) is minimized after weighting it by W. Although any W can be chosen for the weight matrix, most commonly, the inverse of the covariance matrix, S, is used in SEM packages. FGLS is asymptotically equivalent to...

Bloat control is an important aspect of evolutionary computation methods, such as genetic programming, which must deal with genomes of arbitrary size. We introduce three new methods for bloat control: Biased Multi-Objective Parsimony Pressure (BMOPP), the Waiting Room, and Death by Size. These methods are unusual approaches to bloat control, and are not only useful in various circumstances, but...
