We introduce Localized Components Analysis (LoCA) for describing surface shape variation in an ensemble of biomedical objects using a linear subspace of spatially localized shape components. In contrast to earlier methods, LoCA optimizes explicitly for localized components and allows a flexible trade-off between localized and concise representations. Experiments comparing LoCA to a variety of c...

138 soil samples were collected from various loca-tions in Ladakh, a cold desert in the Himalayan region, India and the samples were screened for the presence of keratinophilic fungi using the hair baiting techniques. 58 isolates were recovered and identified. The cultures were identified based on their macroand micro-morphological features. A total of six genera and fourteen species were isola...

In a memorandum dated November 25, 1997, NRR requested RES to perform appropriate research and provide independent confirmation of the applicability of Arrhenius methodology to meet the environmental qualification (EQ) requirements for LOCA and post-LOCA environments. RES was requested to support the NRR reviews of licensees' requests for (1) power uprate amendments, (2) reevaluation of qualifi...

Este estudio se centra en el análisis de la delimitación los espacios sagrados (loca sacra) Pompeya, concreto distintos templos que encuentran área urbana ciudad. Para analizar demarcación estos loca sacra ha analizado legislación romana con relación a lugares y observado si esta normativa cumplía o no ciudad Pompeya. Al mismo tiempo, llegado conclusión Pompeya cuentan un sistema diferente unos...

In this study, a multi-physics modeling method was developed to analyze nuclear fuel rod's thermo-mechanical behavior especially for high temperature anisotropic creep deformation during ballooning and burst occurring in Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). Based on transient heat transfer nonlinear mechanical analysis, the present work newly incorporated special characteristics which include gap t...

INTRODUCTION The use of alcohol and prescription drugs acquired without a prescription among adolescents has become an increasing problem at departments of toxicology. The "jarra loca" is a mix of alcoholic beverages and medicines abused by teens. In the past years, in addition to psychotropic drugs, adolescents have also added hypoglycemic drugs to the mix, which may cause neurological sequela...

Over the past 30 years, several large integral facilities have been utilized in order to understand transient behavior in nuclear power plants. The main objective of these integral facilities was to enhance our physical understanding of transient phenomena during LOCA or non-LOCA transients. An integral database was also used as a basis for the development and verification of thermal hydraulic ...
