CHARACTERISTICS AND RATES OF MICROBIAL PROCESSES IN CLAYS OF DIFFERENT MINERAL AND ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION IN RELATION TO SAFETY PREDICTION FOR ESB CLAY MATERIALS

Microbial activity in clay barrier materials during radioactive waste disposal can lead to a violation of important physicochemical properties of the barrier system as a whole, thereby reducing the safety of the storage facility.This work evaluates the activity of the microbial complex of five bentonite and two kaolin clays.All clay materials were

This paper presents a novel approach for classifying obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adolescents from resting-state fMRI data.Currently, the state-of-the-art for diagnosing OCD in youth involves interviews with adolescent patients and their parents by an experienced clinician, symptom rating scales based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is an emerging approach of software engineering.MDE emphasizes the construction of models from which the implementation should be derived by applying model transformations.The Ontology Definition Meta-model (ODM) has been proposed as a profile for UML models of the Web Ontology Language (OWL).In this context, transfor

A self-tuning hierarchical controller in which a Fuzzy logic controller supervises the control actions of a conventional PID ashley furniture porter b697-92 (porter 3-drawer nightstand) has been proposed, implemented and presented in this paper.The controller has been applied to a control study of Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit (FCCU) riser temperat

Background: With the global disease burden of cancer increasing, and with at least 60% of cancer patients requiring surgery and, hence, anaesthesia over their disease course, the question of whether anaesthetic and analgesia techniques during primary cancer resection surgery might influence long term oncological outcomes assumes u11-200ps high prio
