The world currently faces significant hydrologic changes associated with global climate change, such as in precipitation patterns, rising surface temperature, and increases the frequency intensity of floods droughts, which will affect design capacity operating characteristics dams/reservoirs. This brings new challenges to current water management strategies. research is aimed create, apply, pro...

Understanding product circularity as “three-dimensional” could anchor the Circular Economy to common principles while affording its followers flexibility about how measure it in their specific sectors and disciplines within organization's means. Inspired by a heuristic developed for urban planning profession cope with inherent conflicts of Sustainable Development, this article argues that measu...

BACKGROUND The elucidation of the relationship between the morphology of the peripheral nerves and the diseases would be valuable in developing new medical treatments on the assumption that characteristics of the peripheral nerves in females are different from those in males. METHODS We used 13 kinds of the peripheral nerve. The materials were obtained from 10 Japanese female and male cadaver...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To determine whether the reproducibility of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area measurement is greater with three-dimensional echocardiographic (3D-echo) planimetry than with conventional 2D-echo. To determine the LVOT circularity index by means of 3D-echo. To determine the usefulness of measuring the LVOT area by 3D-echo for quantifying the severity of valvul...

Although literature discussing materials circularity in the built environment sector is well-developed, we have a limited understanding of facility services because most often generalises building operations, ignoring applications via service streams. Thus, owing to nature management, providers’ remit, and operation functions, this paper makes first-order attempt conceptualise context identify ...

In EUROCRYPT 2013, Lu and Ostrovsky proposed the notion of Garbled RAM (GRAM) programs. These GRAM programs are analogous to the classic result of Yao’s garbled circuits: a large encrypted memory can first be provided to evaluator, and then a program can separately be garbled and sent to an evaluator to securely execute while learning nothing but the output of the program and its running time. ...

Abstract Background Owing to the large amounts of energy, greenhouse gases, and waste that it generates, construction industry is fundamental transition towards a circular economy. Indicators which show circularity products—and thus make them comparable with each other—can be used support implementation such an In this article, we have adapted material indicator Ellen MacArthur Foundation in or...
