In Switzerland, prescriptive requirements apply to minimum separation distances between buildings in order to prevent building-to-building fire spread.These requirements are formulated by the regulatory body, for ease of use and enforcement, in a very simple manner: 10 m minimum separation distance between buildings, if both buildings have combusti
Abstract Background With over 500,000 annually reported cases worldwide, head and neck cancer (HNC) is the seventh most common type of cancer worldwide.Treatment of HNC with chemoradiotherapy frequently results in serious impairments in physical and psychosocial functioning.Besides, HNC patients typically start their cancer treatment already with p
Gravity geologic method is one of the important to derive seafloor topography by using altimetry-gravity, and its committed step is gridding of regional gravity anomaly.Hence, we proposed a topography constraint factor weight optimization (TCFWO) method based on ordinary kriging method.This method fully considers the influence of topography factors
The conventional fuzzy c-spherical shells (FCSS) clustering model is extended to cluster shells involving non-crisp numbers, in this paper.This is achieved by a vectorized representation of distance, between two non-crisp numbers like the crisp numbers case.Using the proposed clustering method, named vector fuzzy c-spherical shells (VFCSS), all cri
Cyprinids are the most Integrated Amplifiers highly produced group of fishes globally, with common carp being one of the most valuable species of the group.Koi herpesvirus (KHV) infections can result in high levels of mortality, causing major economic losses, and is listed as a notifiable disease by the World Organization for Animal Health.Selectiv
