BACKGROUND International trade regulations require that countries document their livestock's sanitary status in general and freedom from specific infective agents in detail provided that import restrictions should be applied. The latter is generally achieved by large national serological surveys and risk assessments. The paper describes the basic structure and application of a generic stochasti...

balance sheet itself does not specify and show all the activities that a bank pays. because banks can do many swap contracts and obligations, exchange, and commitments outside of the balance sheet. to such activities and exchange that will not appear on the balance sheet, are saying off-balance sheet activities. these items are usually reported in the notes to the attached financial statements....

Abstract Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae; red imported fire ant) is an invasive species in several parts of the world. A major contributor to spread S. infested shipping containers. The vapor allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a naturally occurring organosulfur compound, highly toxic ; however, AITC volatile. Microencapsulation polyethylene (PE) resin slows release AITC, making it p...

background : during the last 3 decades, there were increasing tendency towards angioplasty because of its benefits. but, this procedure has its acute problems like bleeding and formation of hematoma in the removal place of the sheet. based on researchers’ clinical experiences, patients need a time of 8-12 hours for bed rest after coronary angioplasty. recognizing desirable time for bed rest aft...

This study investigates an alternative approach to estimating the probability of default. The introduction credit spreads as market measures default into accounting-based model attempts enhance predictive power classical models which analyze only balance sheet data. paper identifies two spread — Z-spread or I-spread has advantage in context robustness bankruptcy prediction models. Using techniq...

in this work, laser bending of perforated sheets has been investigated numerically. laser bending of perforated sheets is more complicated than non-perforated sheets due to their complex geometries. in this paper, laser bending of perforated sheets is studied numerically in the form of thermo-mechanical analysis with abaqus/implicit code. for this purpose, the effects of process and sheet param...

A haptic device using flexible sheet such as rubber has already been proposed. Controlling the bias tension of the sheet, the device varies compliance of the sheet in the normal direction; users can feel compliance of various virtual objects if they touch the sheet. This device is integrated into a visual and haptic display. The haptic device uses transparent flexible sheet, and a liquid crysta...

soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. this study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. for this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...

recently, incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process as one of the new methods in rapid prototyping collection has been considered by researchers. this process is based on a defined path in cnc controller and applies a spherical-head tool that supplies the required pressure for sheet metal forming. despite affirmation of process ability in forming symmetric geometries, some of its aspects s...

in this work, a bench-scale process was developed using mineral-processing methods to recover iron from a placer deposit located in bardaskan, khorasan-e-razavi, iran. the mineralogical studies were performed by x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray fluorescence (xrf), electron probe micro-analyzer (epma), and an optical microscope. these studies indicated that titanomagnetite, magnetite, and hematite...
