One of the main architectural characteristics in the central area of Iran is the relation between life and climatic conditions; e.g., the four-seasonal house which is a typical kind of the central-yard house. As the climate of Isfahan is more pleasant than other desert regions in the central part of Iran, wind towers are replaced with skylights to ventilate the pool area of hoze-khane. So far, ...

Ridge width influences the number of ridges present in a specified area of a fingerprint epidermal ridge density and several researches have been carried out on this aspect of fingerprints. The present study has been carried out to examine ridge density differences in two Northern Indian populations (Khatri and Bania). In the present study it has been found that 92% of Khatri females have a mea...

Business rules are relatively new addition in the field of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which are kind of business information systems, development. Recently some relevant enhancements of existing business information systems engineering methods were introduced, although there are still open issues of how business rules may be used and improve qualitative and quantitative attribu...

Geographic Information Task (GeoTask) is one of the newly proposed tasks at the NTCIR-4 WEB. Geographic information is close to our daily lives, and is one of the real ways to access Web information. Researches and developments of such aspects have been increasing recently, however, comparative evaluations of such kinds of techniques has not been carried out so far. GeoTask focused on the techn...

INTRODUCTION In early studies it was observed that the effects of radiation such as X-, Gamma ray on bone growth were related on the age at exposure and to the radiation dose. Bone growth stunting by irradiation was more effective in the young and was more pronounced after higher radiation dose. Recently, heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) in our institute was developed in order to ...

A lack of diversity permeates the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field. Under-representation within STEM fields can stifle innovation progressive approaches to future STEM. Traditional pathways focus on identifying participants who show academic promise in schools. One segment young people, youth have been ‘pushed out’ high schools, often excluded from pathways. Altern...

Electron-cooling experiments have been carried out at the HIMAC synchrotron in order to develop new technologies in heavy-ion therapy and related researches. The cool-stacking method, in particular, has been studied to increase the intensity of heavy-ions. The simulation was carried out to optimise the cool-stacking under various injection periods. Further, the beam heating by RF-KO was applied...
