The neutron irradiation system for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) using compact accelerators installed at hospitals was mainly investigated for the usage of direct neutrons from near-threshold Li(p,n)Be, and moderated neutrons from 2.5 MeV Li(p,n)Be reactions and other reactions. This kind of system can supply the medical doctors and patients with convenience to carry out BNCT in hospital...

Tiling problems provide for a very simple and transparent mechanism for encod ing machine computations This gives rise to rather simple master reductions showing various versions of the tiling problem complete for various complexity classes We in vestigate the potential for using these tiling problems in subsequent reductions showing hardness of the combinatorial problems that really matter We ...

Areal interpolation between one partitioning of geographical space and another remains an important topic, particular in terms of population counts and related statistics which are often required in order to compute an incidence ratio. Despite numerous recent developments in intelligent areal interpolation methods, and studies that have demonstrated their clear advantage over simple areal weigh...

We explored the social acceptability and user experience of wearable form factors as a portable option for Bright Light Therapy (BLT). BLT remains the predominant therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorder despite a non-compliance rate of ~70% commonly attributed to the inconvenience of prolonged daily sitting in front of light boxes. To date, attempts to address convenience using wearable/portabl...

Microwave is the machine, which is very helpful for the food sector. The modern age of life as well as the increasing number of working women requires simplified routines and standardization of foods with lesser preparation time and convenience in usage. The demands of the consumers are the real factor for the success or failure of any food items in the present scenario. The increasing consumer...

The user interface design of smart phone is often too simple in logic that the taxonomy of tasks frequently performed is the only basis and the UI allow the user to add their favorite Apps as they want. However, with too many Apps available for smart phone users but not many of them are used frequently, the convenience of smart phone usage can and should be developed not just by the predefined ...

Due to the vision-impaired users commonly having difficulty with mobile-phone function operations and adaption any manufacturer's user interface design, the goals for this research are established for evaluating how to improve for them the function operation convenience and user interfaces of either mobile phones or electronic appliances in the market currently. After applying collecting back 3...
