Multi-agent based simulations have been shown to have particular utility in large-scale social and biological systems. To deliver a realistic simulation for such complex systems, agents should be light-weight and interagent communication should be efficient and scalable. In this paper, we propose a new light-weight message transport framework for building efficient, flexible, and scalable inter...

Introduction: Although travertine is now widely used as a building material, the effects of its radiological hazards to public health should be a matter of concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine its radiological parameters with regard to human health. Material and Methods: In this research 10 travertine samples were collected ...
