the main problem of solid waste management system in tehran is to handle a large amount of waste (7.641 ton/day in 2008). therefore, source reduction can be introduced as one of the first priority for solid waste management in tehran. this research represents the first attempt to quantify the source reduction potential in the city, and subsequently, outlines the principle guidelines, legislatio...

background and purpose: in a recent century, the amount of construction waste has increased significantly. although the building industry has a considerable role in the development of a society, it is regarded as an environmentally destructive. source reduction is the highest goal in the waste management hierarchy and is in priority. it also has economic benefits by reducing costs associated wi...

The aim of this paper is to introduce Reductor, a program that automatically removes unused parts of the source code of valid programs written in the Mercury language. Reductor implements two main kinds of reductions: statical reduction and dynamical reduction. In the statical reduction, Reductor exploits semantic analysis of the Melbourne Mercury Compiler to find routines which can be removed ...

background: prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (pgnaa) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252cf and 241am-be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...
