Natural Radioactivity and Radon Exhalation in the Sediment River Used in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraq, Dwellings
TL;DR: In this paper, the radon concentration in the air (Co) and gamma-specific activity (As) of the samples were measured using passive detectors (CR-39 and gamma spectrum analyzer (3 × 3 NaI (Tl) connected to digital spectrum analyzers), respectively The mean value of the Co ± deviation of the investigated samples was 1765 ± 69 Bq/m

A Resolution-Free Parallel Algorithm for Image Edge Detection within the Framework of Enzymatic Numerical P Systems.
TL;DR: A novel resolution free parallel implementation algorithm for gradient based edge detection, namely EDENP, is proposed, based on a cell-like P system with a nested membrane structure containing four membranes that can be achieved regardless of image resolution theoretically.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that many particular choices among possible neurophysiological assumptions are equivalent, in the sense that for every net behaving under one assumption, there exists another net which behaves under another and gives the same results, although perhaps not in the same time.
