Resin injection such as resin transfer molding (RTM) is commonly applied in industry for serial production of composite components. RTM process simulation enables prediction of process parameters that are essential for component and tool design. As for all simulations where material behavior is modeled, validated material properties are indispensable for realistic simulations. Currently, materi...

Sub-picosecond electron pulses are desirable for generating femtosecond X-ray pulses. By numerical simulation, it has become clear that racetrack microtron (RTM) has unique features to produce very short electron bunches by itself. In addition, it has proved experimentally that RTM has beneficial characteristics to accelerate only an excellent quality beam in both emittance and energy spread. T...

To increase the security of multicast, a Random Tree Multicast (RTM) scheme in reconfigurable network was presented. By decoupling data flow and group management, and by changing the multicast tree and channel with the technology of Moving Target Defense (MTD), RTM can improve the ability of defending eavesdrop and traffic analysis with little complexity. We present the details of our scheme, a...

Wavefield migration and tomography are well-developed under the acoustic assumption; however, multicomponent recorded seismic data include shear waves (S-modes) in addition to the compressional waves (P-modes). Constructing multicomponent wavefields and considering multiparameter model properties make it possible to utilize information provided by various wave modes, and this information allows...

The target site for inhaled vapor-induced injury often differs in mouth-breathing humans compared with nose-breathing rats, thus complicating the use of rat inhalation toxicity data for assessment of human risk. We sought to examine sensitivity of respiratory/transitional nasal (RTM) and tracheobronchial (TBM) mucosa to two electrophilic irritant vapors: diacetyl and acrolein. Computational flu...

A meta-analysis has been conducted on the effects of red-light cameras (RLCs) on intersection crashes. The size and direction of results reported from studies included in the meta-analysis are strongly affected by study methodology. The studies that have controlled for most confounding factors yield the least favourable results. Based on these studies, installation of RLCs leads to an overall i...

The leaf area index (LAI) is a key characteristic of forest ecosystems. Estimations of LAI from satellite images generally rely on spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) or radiative transfer model (RTM) inversions. We have developed a new and precise method suitable for practical application, consisting of building a species-specific SVI that is best-suited to both sensor and vegetation characteri...

PURPOSE: This study investigated short-term changes in body composition, handgrip strength, and presence of lymphedema in women who underwent breast cancer surgery. METHODS: Ninety-five women participated in a cross-sectional study, divided into two groups: Control (n=46), with healthy women, and Experimental (n=49), with women six months after breast cancer surgery . The Experimental Group was...

Design: A randomized waitlist-controlled design (n = 74) examined the efficacy of Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) among male veterans with current-month flashbacks and nightmares. Volunteers were randomly assigned to immediate treatment (three 120 minute sessions of RTM), or to a three-week waiting condition before receiving the same treatment. Blinded psychometricians evaluated sym...

The ocean algorithm is based on the physical Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) described in Wentz and Meissner [2000]. The RTM consists of an atmospheric absorption model for water vapor, oxygen and liquid cloud water and a sea surface emissivity model that parameterizes the emissivity as function of sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, sea surface wind speed and direction. The details o...
