A new structure of a micro-strain beam type of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) strain gauge is proposed and simulated. The stress and strain distributions of MEMS strain gauge are evaluated in x and y directions by 2D FEM simulation, respectively. The results showed that the longitudinal str[r]
To overcome the limitations of current techniques, this paper proposes a fully digital blind calibration technique for offset, gain and timing mismatches in TIADC. The proposed technique first calibrates the offset error by taking the average of sub-ADC[r]
This paper focuses on building a theoretical method, based on the calculation of hydraulic losses to predict the energy performance of a Low-specific speed Pump as Turbine (PaT) quickly and accurately that supported for the PaT’s impeller design. The Euler equation is built with the analysis of hydr[r]
Revealed Preference and The Substitution Effect The principal unambiguous prediction that can be derived from the utility-maximation model is that the slope (or price elasticity) of the compensated demand curve is negative. We have shown this result in two ways. The first proof was based[r]
The standard trimodal treatment concept in locally advanced and non-metastasized non-small-cell superior sulcus tumors consists of a preoperative chemoradiation followed by surgical resection. High linear energy transfer (LET) radiation as, for example, C12 heavy-ion beam therapy theoretically offer[r]
Two-dimensional high-dose-rate brachytherapy (2D-HDR-BT) is an effective method of dose escalation for local tumor control in early T-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Treatment outcomes for 3D-image-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy (3D-image-guided-HDR-BT) after external beam radiotherapy (E[r]
A new theory for ab initio calculation of the anharmonic Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) and its parameters of hcp crystals has been developed based on the single- shell model. Analytical expressions for the anharmonic contributions to the amplitude and to the phase of EXAFS and a n[r]
Calculation of braking properties has always been one of the most important stages in the design of any vehicle. With the advent of various active safety systems, such as anti-lock braking systems, collision avoidance systems, automatic emergency braking systems, mathematical models have become much[r]
In this paper, we propose a novel method to effectively detect GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) spoofing signals. Our approach utilizes mixtures of Gaussian distributions to model the Carrier Phase’s Double Difference (DD) produced by two separated receivers. DD calculation eliminates meas[r]
Most biomarkers in prostate cancer have only been evaluated in surgical cohorts. The value of these biomarkers in a different therapy context remains unclear. Our objective was to test a panel of surgical biomarkers for prognostic value in men treated by external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and primary[r]
To assess the safety and efficacy of simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) or late course accelerated boost (LCAB) with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to the vaginal cuff for high risk cervical cancer patients after radical hysterectomy.
Cost-effectiveness is a pivotal consideration for clinical decision making of high-tech cancer treatment in developing countries. Intensity-modulated proton radiation therapy (IMPT, the advanced form of proton beam therapy) has been found to improve the prognosis of the patients with paranasal sinus[r]
The present paper introduces a new elastoplastic beam model for reinforced concrete based on a higherorder beam model previously developed (Int J Numer Methods Eng. https:doi.org10.1002nme. 5926, 2018). Steel and concrete are both defined as elastoplastic materials. The beam model represents the con[r]
In the recent years, many research efforts have been carried out on the bond strength between normal strength concrete (NSC) and reinforcing bars spliced in tension zones in beams. Many codes gave a minimum splice length for tension and compression reinforcement as a factor of the bar diameter depen[r]
To determine whether the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on the risk of biochemical failure varies at different doses of radiation in patients treated with definitive external beam radiation for intermediate risk prostate cancer (IRPC).
The paper introduces a novel method for “central improvement” of voltage sags due to short-circuits in distribution system using multiples of D-Statcoms. D-Statcom’s effectiveness for voltage sag mitigation is modeled basing on the method of Thevenin’s superimposition for the problem of short-circui[r]
