TLDR
To detect short circuit and insulation faults arising during construction and to confirm the effectiveness of the shielding as it is installed, the probe test should be carried out at frequent intervals during the construction.Abstract:
This chapter discusses a current comparator. The design of the various components of a comparator may be affected by these factors. To detect short circuit and insulation faults arising during construction and to confirm the effectiveness of the shielding as it is installed, the probe test should be carried out at frequent intervals during the construction.read more

Stress-deformation and strength characteristics of a compacted shale
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a laboratory investigation to define the effective stress strength parameters of mechanically hard but nondurable shale pieces of a lower Mississippian age formation (new Providence) from the state of Indiana, USA were presented.

A (Cybernetic) Musing: Design and Cybernetics.
TL;DR: In 1969, Gordon Pask published a paper that explicitly proposed a vital connection between cybernetics and architecture and design, and Donald Schon borrowed the idea of conversation to explain the central act of the designer: holding a conversation with oneself through paper and pencil.

In situ calcite formation in limestone-saturated water leaching of acid rock waste
Roger St. C. Smart,Stuart Miller,Warwick S. Stewart,Yuni Rusdinar,Russell E. Schumann,Nobuyuki Kawashima,Jun Li +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it may be possible to effectively maintain neutral pH and passivate pyrite, reducing oxidation rates by more than an order of magnitude, using limestone-saturated solution dump feed rather than bulk limestone blending or covers.

Strength and compressibility characteristics of randomly distributed fiber-reinforced soil
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of fiber-reinforced soil has been investigated using direct shear tests, unconfined compression tests and consolidation tests on un-reined as well as reinforced soil samples to investigate the strength and compressibility characteristics of fiber reinforced soil.

Robert W. Orttung,Oleg Anisimov,Svetlana Badina,Charlene Burns,Leena Cho,Benjamin DiNapoli,M. Jull,Melissa Shaiman,Ksenia Shapovalova,Leah Silinsky,Emily Zhang,Yelena Zhiltcova +11 more
TL;DR: This article provides the first multidisciplinary, comparative analysis of 46 Arctic cities employing historical, remote sensing, and quantitative methods and demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of the world’s Arctic cities in their quest for sustainability and points to where they can learn from each other in adopting best practices.

CASE tools as organizational change: investigating incremental and radical changes in systems development
TL;DR: The framework and findings suggest that in order to account for the experiences and outcomes associated with CASE tools, researchers should consider the social context of systems development, the intentions and actions of key players, and the implementation process followed by the organization.

GATE V6: a major enhancement of the GATE simulation platform enabling modelling of CT and radiotherapy
Sébastien Jan,D. Benoit,E. Becheva,Thomas Carlier,F. Cassol,Patrice Descourt,Thibault Frisson,L. Grevillot,Laurent Guigues,Lydia Maigne,C. Morel,Yann Perrot,Niklas S. Rehfeld,David Sarrut,Dennis R. Schaart,Simon Stute,Uwe Pietrzyk,Dimitris Visvikis,N. Zahra,Irène Buvat +19 more
TL;DR: An overview of the main additions and improvements implemented in GATE since the publication of the initial GATE paper is presented, which includes new models available to simulate optical and hadronic processes, novelties in modelling tracer, organ or detector motion, new options for speeding up GATE simulations, and preliminary results regarding the validation of GATE V6 for radiation therapy applications.

A salt-rejecting floating solar still for low-cost desalination
George Ni,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,Seyyed Morteza Javid,Svetlana V. Boriskina,Thomas Cooper,Gang Chen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a salt-rejecting evaporation structure that can operate continuously under sunlight to generate clean vapor while floating in a saline body of water such as an ocean is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aquatic selenium pollution is a global environmental safety issue.
TL;DR: Failure to include selenium in the list of constituents measured in contaminant screening/monitoring programs is a major mistake, both from the hazard assessment aspect and from the pollution control aspect.

Metabolic control analysis is helpful for informed genetic manipulation of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) to increase seed oil content.

TL;DR: Increased seed oil content, increased DGAT activity, and reduced substrate:product ratio are demonstrated, as well as reduced flux control by complex lipid assembly, as determined by TDCA in Brassica napus (canola) lines which overexpress the gene encoding type-1 DGAT.
