spatial planning system of a country is the array of its planning systems. getting familiar with spatial planning system of different countries and their experiences could help for comparison and accommodation so that making decision and defining appropriate planning system could be done. this article has studied the spatial planning system of portugal and since there are different factors affe...

this paper presents an application of benders decomposition to deal with the complexities in the simultaneous generation expansion planning (gep) and transmission expansion planning (tep). unlike the power system operation fields of study, the power system planning methods are not expected to be fast. however, it is always preferable to speed up computations to provide more analysis options for...

analyzing spatial planning system in different countries could help make appropriate decisions to improve functional system of planning in our country. belgium, inspite of its limited area, has a unique planning system which is derived from political and social condition. belgium has a federal system which is composed of three cultural societies and three economic regions. spatial planning is i...

background: most of the current brachytherapy treatment planning systems (tps) use the tg-43u1 recommendations for dosimetry in water phantom, not considering the heterogeneity effects. objective: the purpose of this study is developing a method for obtaining correction factors for heterogeneity for cs-137 brachytherapy sources based on pre-calculated mc simulations and interpolation. method: t...

this paper presents the steady state behavior and maintenance planning of the bleaching system in a paper plant. the paper plant comprises of various systems including feeding, chipping, digesting, washing, bleaching, screening, stock preparation and paper making, etc. one of the most important functionaries of a paper plant, on which quality of paper depends, is the bleaching system, where rem...

nowadays, planning is no longer considered merely a scientific and technical career nor agovernment responsibity. it rather functions as a bridge connecting the planners to institutional changes. in otherwords, the planning theory does not develop in a social, economic and political vacuum, but is formulated byindividuals in social situations with the aim of clarifying the enviroment recommendi...

background: accelerated partial breast irradiation via interstitial balloon brachytherapy is a fast and effective treatment method for certain early stage breast cancers however skin, chest wall and lung doses are correlated with toxicity in patients treated with breast brachytherapy. objective: to investigate the percentage of the dose received by critical organ (skin), thermoluminescence dete...
