We present the discovery of very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object 1ES 0806+524 (z=0.138) and the intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac object W Comae (z=0.102) with VERITAS. VHE emission was discovered from these objects during the 2007/2008 observing campaign, with a strong outburst from W Comae detected in mid-March, lasting a few days. Quasi-si...

بخش اورژانس یکی از شلوغ‌ترین بخش‌های یک بیمارستان است و بهبود عملکرد این تأثیر بسیاری در کیفیت ارائه خدمات دارد. اخیراً پژوهشگران به­‌دلیل تمرکز مهندسی تاب‌آوری مدیریت ناب بر کارایی سیستم‌ها توجه بسیار زیادی به دو دیدگاه کنار یکدیگر داشته‌اند. هدف پژوهش، رویکردی یکپارچه برای ارزیابی مبتنی شاخص‌های با ارتقای رضایت شغلی کاهش هزینه‌های درمانی واحد خصوصی است. منظور، ابتدا شناسایی مؤثر، مدل مفهومی مس...

In this study, buckling analysis of panel types of marine and offshore structural components with initial imperfection under the combined action of lateral pressure and axial compression is carried out. The governing differential equations for thin and moderately thick shells are developed in terms of components of the displacement field. The governing ordinary differential equations are then d...

We need standardized methods to objectively evaluate the quality of an application's source code. The hope is that over time, standards for doing such assessments will emerge, generalizing their use. Aiming to contribute to this standardization process, we present in this paper two elements of the SQALE (Software Quantitative Assessment based on Lifecycle Expectations) method used by DNV IT Glo...

The RV Investigator is Australia’s new noise quietened Marine National Facility (MNF) vessel built to comply with the DNV silent-R specification. This radiated noise specification was based on the ICES 209 CRR specification designed with the main goal of minimising vessel avoidance for fisheries surveys. Noise quietening was specified for RV Investigator to improve the acoustic detection of ins...

This paper proposes the design and analysis of a yaw command tracking control algorithm for wind turbines in farm applications. The was designed basic supervisory power 5 MW research turbine proposed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), along with an automatic to verify results using simulations. Additionally, developed used other algorithms. performance verified conducting dynamic s...

Mosquito densoviruses (DNVs) are candidate agents for paratransgenic control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Unlike other mosquito DNVs, the Anopheles gambiae DNV (AgDNV) is non-pathogenic to larval mosquitoes. However, the cost of infection upon adults and the molecular mechanisms underpinning infection in the mosquito host are unknown. Using life table analysis, we show that AgDNV...

Different approaches to study vibrational kinetics coupled to electron one for modeling different kinds of negative ion sources are presented. In particular two types of sources are investigated. The first one is a classical negative ion source in which the plasma is generated by thermoemitted electrons; in the second one, electrons already present in the mixture are accelerated by an RF field ...
