To improve the productivity and efficient of modern large-scale open-cut mines, a number of technologies are developed and trialed, including new blasting equipment, larger blasting holes, high benches, air spacing, and short-delay blasting within holes.However, the relative blasting parameters need field calibration and further investigation of th
As a measurement, quality of service (QoS) has been commonly taken into account in the traditional vertical handoff schemes for the heterogeneous wireless access networks.However, the QoS is not sufficient to correlate well with the user satisfaction.In this paper, quality of experience (QoE) is introduced into the decision mechanism of the vertica
Abstract Background Vector control interventions using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and Fridge Thermostat indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly practiced tools for the control of malaria in Ethiopia.In order to evaluate the effectiveness of these control interventions, and understand the prevailing malaria vectors, their incriminati
Abstract Human visitors affect the behavior of captive animals, which is the so-called visitor effect.The number and behavior of visitors may influence stress-related behaviors in captive animals, such as self-scratching, yawning, and visitor-directed vigilance.A social group setting can be Deep Fryer Thermometers applied to alleviate such negative
Hurricane-induced hazards can result in significant damage to the built environment cascading into major impacts to the households, social institutions, and local economy.Although quantifying physical impacts of hurricane-induced hazards is essential for risk analysis, it is necessary but not sufficient for community resilience planning.While there
