The authors present an epizootiological analysis of viral haemorrhagic disease of rabbits in Poland. The biological, physical and chemical properties of virus isolates used for the production and control of the vaccine 'Cunivac' (produced in Poland) are also presented. The safety and efficacy of this vaccine are demonstrated. Laboratory experiments and large-scale field observations yielded sat...

Molecular modeling frequently constructs classification models for the prediction of two-class entities, such as compound bio(in)activity, chemical property (non)existence, protein (non)interaction, and so forth. The models are evaluated using well known metrics such as accuracy or true positive rates. However, these frequently used metrics applied to retrospective and/or artificially generated...

Electroless composite coatings used for achieving of high hardness, lubrication properties, non-stick surface, abrasive coating applications that by impregnation of soft and hard particles into Ni matrix. Electroless Nickel-phosphorous coatings properties and performance is greatly affected by the amount of phosphorus in them. The phosphor in this coating usually varies from 1 to 13 percent. In...

Nanofluid is prepared through the nanoscale particles suspended in a fluid base and Nanotechnology is a new attempt to investigate the thermal sciences. As a result of huge investment in developed countries on nanotechnology, research on thermal properties of nano-fluids is of particular interest.Due to the usage of nanotechnology to reduce energy waste, in this project CeO2 with EG is used to ...

Today, the construction industry is facing intense competition and success in this competition depends on several factors. Project managers try to minimize project time and cost, carbon dioxide emission and at the same time maximizing the quality of project and its plan robustness. In this paper, study construction project scheduling considering a discrete trade-off between time, cost, quality,...

This paper describes an experiment in formal specification and validation performed in the context of an industrial joint project. The project involved an Italian company working in the field of railway engineering, Ansaldobreda Segnalamento Ferroviario, and the CNR Institutes IEI and CNUCE of Pisa. Within the project two formal models have been developed describing different aspects of a safet...

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a common method in data mining that have been used in different applications as a dimension reduction, classification or clustering method. Methods in alternating least square (ALS) approach usually used to solve this non-convex minimization problem.  At each step of ALS algorithms two convex least square problems should be solved, which causes high com...

selecting an effective project plan is a significant area in the project management. the present paper introduces a technique to identify the project plan efficient frontier for assessing the alternative project plans and selecting the best plan. the efficient frontier includes two criteria: the project cost and the project time. besides, the paper presents a scheme to incorporate directed acyc...
