EPR DOSIMETRY IN A MIXED NEUTRON AND GAMMA RADIATION FIELD
2004
Suitability of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for criticality dosimetry was evaluated for tooth enamel, mannose and alanine pellets during the 'international intercomparison of criticality dosimetry techniques' at the SILENE reactor held in Valduc in June 2002, France. These three materials were irradiated in neutron and gamma-ray fields of various relative intensities and spectral distributions in order to evaluate their neutron sensitivity. The neutron response was found to be around 10% for tooth enamel, 45% for mannose and between 40 and 90% for alanine pellets according their type. According to the IAEA recommendations on the early estimate of criticality accident a…
THE OCCURRENCE OF CHROMIUM IN RAW MATERIALS AND ITS FATE IN THE BREWING PROCESS
1987
The chromium content of raw materials, intermediate and final products in the brewing process were determined in order to evaluate the contribution of raw materials to the chromium content of beer. The contribution due to beer in the diet is considered in the light of the recommended daily intake of chromium.
Myocardial Glutathione Alterations in Acute Coronary Occlusion in the Dog
1987
Glutathione (GSH) decreases in dog mycocardium upon acute coronary occlusion when compared with sham-operated dogs. Total glutathione content (GSHeq = GSH + ZGSSG) remains unchanged throughout the experiment (6 h after surgery) in both sham- and acute coronary occlusion-operated dogs. GSSG and GSH/GSSG ratio increases and decreases respectively in all animals but tends to reach the normal value after 6 h in sham-operated dogs. Both parameters (GSSG and GSH/GSSG ratio) remain altered in acute coronary occlusion-operated ones. This alteration of glutathione status in ischemic myocardium is discussed.
Effective Recovery Process of Copper from Waste Printed Circuit Boards Utilizing Recycling of Leachate
2020
AbstractThis study presents an optimized leaching and electrowinning process for the recovery of copper from waste printed circuit boards including studies of chemical consumption and recirculation of leachate. Optimization of leaching was performed using response surface methodology in diluted sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide media. Optimum leaching conditions for copper were found by using 3.6 mol L−1 sulfuric acid, 6 vol.% hydrogen peroxide, pulp density of 75 g L−1 with 186 min leaching time at 20°C resulting in complete leaching of copper followed by over 92% recovery and purity of 99.9% in the electrowinning. Study of chemical consumption showed total decomposition of hydrogen pero…
Feedback Linearizing Control of Induction Motor Considering Magnetic Saturation Effects
2015
This paper presents an input-output feedback linearization (FL) control technique for rotating induction motors, which takes into consideration the magnetic saturation of the iron core. Starting from a new formulation of the dynamic model taking into consideration the magnetic saturation expressed in a space-state form in the rotor-flux-oriented reference frame, the corresponding FL technique has been developed. To this aim, a particular care has been given to the choice of nonlinear functions interpolating the magnetic parameters versus the rotor magnetizing current and the corresponding magnetic characteristic. The proposed FL technique has been tested experimentally on a suitably develop…
Ochotnicze Hufce Pracy – instytucja państwowa dla młodzieży i pracy z młodzieżą
2019
The article presents Voluntary Labour Corps (OHP) as an educational institution of the labour market in Poland. It attends difficult, young people who are socially excluded. The OHP is seen as the institution of the second chance, which embraces the needs of young people in a competent and complex way. It concentrates on providing the youth with proper education and preventing them from further social exclusion. The institution undertakes actions to include the youth in normal, adult life. Research shows that it is effective in its work and more than half of the graduates obtain a stable professional and social position
Viivasegmenttiprosessin tunnusten estimointi
2011
Tutkielmassa käsitellään tasossa olevan viivasegmenttiprosessin kahta ensimmäisen kertaluvun tunnusta: intensiteettiä ja pituusjakauman odotusarvoa. Uusina menetelminä esitellään intensiteetin estimoinnissa kahden referenssipisteen käyttö sekä plusotannan aiheuttaman harhan korjaus käyttäen harhalle laskettua odotusarvoa. Pituusjakauman odotusarvon estimoinnissa uutta on sisältymissuhteeseen perustuva estimaattori. Tilastollisena mallina prosessille käytetään Boolen mallia, joka on erikoistapaus germ–grain-mallista. Lisäksi oletetaan viivasegmenttien pituuden noudattavan eksponenttijakaumaa ja suuntakulman suhteessa x-akseliin tasajakaumaa. Tunnuslukujen estimoinnissa tarvittava otanta suor…
Comparing reference point based interactive multiobjective optimization methods without a human decision maker
2022
AbstractInteractive multiobjective optimization methods have proven promising in solving optimization problems with conflicting objectives since they iteratively incorporate preference information of a decision maker in the search for the most preferred solution. To find the appropriate interactive method for various needs involves analysis of the strengths and weaknesses. However, extensive analysis with human decision makers may be too costly and for that reason, we propose an artificial decision maker to compare a class of popular interactive multiobjective optimization methods, i.e., reference point based methods. Without involving any human decision makers, the artificial decision make…
On Using Decision Maker Preferences with ParEGO
2017
In this paper, an interactive version of the ParEGO algorithm is introduced for identifying most preferred solutions for computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems. It enables a decision maker to guide the search with her preferences and change them in case new insight is gained about the feasibility of the preferences. At each interaction, the decision maker is shown a subset of non-dominated solutions and she is assumed to provide her preferences in the form of preferred ranges for each objective. Internally, the algorithm samples reference points within the hyperbox defined by the preferred ranges in the objective space and uses a DACE model to approximate an achievem…
Atbilstības dzimumu normām, pārrunu stila un interešu fokusa saistība ar pretreakcijas efektu
2022
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kā pārrunu vadīšanas stils (asertīvs/ neasertīvs) un interešu fokuss (savas/citu intereses) ietekmē pretreakciju pret pārrunu dalībnieku atkarībā no viņa dzimuma, un kā atbilstība dzimuma lomas normām prognozē pretreakcijas efektu pārrunās. Izlasi veido n=372 (84%) sievietes un n=69 (16%) vīrieši, vecumā no 18 līdz 70 gadiem (M=40, SD=10,23), 85% respondentu ir augstākā izglītība. Pētījumam ir eksperimentāls starpgrupu dizains 2x2x2. Pētījumā tika adaptēta Sociālās pretreakcijas efekta skala (Amanatullah & Tinsley, 2013). Iegūtie rezultāti uzrāda interešu fokusa prognozējamo efektu uz pretreakciju pārrunās (pārstāvot cita intereses, tā samazinās). Pētījums a…
