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

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.

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.

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.
Randall J. Weselake,Saleh Shah,Mingguo Tang,Patti A. Quant,Crystal L. Snyder,Tara L. Furukawa-Stoffer,Weiming Zhu,David C. Taylor,Jitao Zou,Arvind Kumar,Linda M. Hall,André Laroche,Gerhard Rakow,Phillip Raney,Maurice M. Moloney,John L. Harwood +15 more
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.

Senile coconut palms: Functional design and biomechanics of stem green tissue
TL;DR: In this paper, the biomechanical behaviour and functional design of senile coconut palms (greater than 80 years old) were investigated at the integral level of hierarchical structure, at integral level, of the tree.
Modulation des propriétés mécaniques de cellules stimulées par l'angiotensine II, la thrombine et la bradykinine : implications vasculaires
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the atomic force microscope (AFM) can be used to mechanically probe individual cells following the activation of the angiotensin-1 receptor, a receptor well known for its role in cell homeostasis regulation.

A method for the design of a continuous microalgae culture photobioreactor in series with recirculation system
TL;DR: In this article, an ad hoc mathematical model based on mass balances and constitutive equations from literature was constructed; the model integrates the illumination and mass transfer effects on microalgae growth kinetics by a complete model solution.
Using K'nex to Teach Large Scale Structures to Architects and Construction Students
Allen C. Estes,Craig Baltimore +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, K'nex toys are used to illustrate the entire design construction sequence and relate how structure fits into this process during the sequence's culminating course during the ARCE course.

Evaluation and optimisation of receiver height in a compound parabolic collector with low acceptance angle
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the method of finding an optimised location of a tubular receiver for a compound parabolic collector (CPC) with 6° acceptance angle, due to low acceptance angle.
