Introduction Bladder cancer is a lethal disease with a rising incidence on a background of limited conventional imaging modalities for staging (either CT of the chest-abdomen-pelvis or 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emitting tomography (FDG-PET/CT)).CT is known to have relatively low sensitivity for detecting low volume metastatic disease, an impo
Multiple Soft Fault Diagnosis of Analog Filter Circuit Based on Genetic Algorithm
Hard (open and short) faults and discrete parameter Industrial Vacuum Cleaner faults (DPF) are the mostly used fault models in simulation-before-test (SBT) method.Because that the parameter of analog element is continuous, the DPF can not elaborately characterize all possible continuous parameter faults (CPF) occurring in analog circuit, let alone
Application of the Bees Algorithm for Constrained Mechanical Design Optimisation Problem
Optimisation is a technique or procedure to find the Underwater Protection optimal or feasible solution whether it is to minimise or maximise by comparing other possible solutions until the best solution is found.Nowadays, many optimisation algorithms have been introduced due to the advancement of technology such as Teaching Learning Based Optimisa
Cement - steatite composites reinforced with carbon fibres: an alternative for restoration of brazilian historical buildings
Steatite is a mineral which has been employed in the carving of elements in facades of Brazilian historical buildings and churches since the 17th century.Over the years, many of those historical buildings suffered the consequences of weathering with a current need for restoration.Recently a special cement-based mortar Siege containing additions of
On the Importance of Theory in LIAS: A Review of Literature on Radical Librarianship in Canada
With the decline of social services in welfare states, libraries have come to represent the final frontier of democracy amongst privatizing public institutions.This view of libraries is especially prevalent in the media but is more carefully analyzed in critical LIAS (library, information, and archival studies).Because of the urgency of the positio
