PREDICTION OF CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH USING SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE REGRESSION AND NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Prediction of concrete compressive strength using support vector machine regression and non-destructive testing

Performance assessment of existing building structures, especially concrete compressive strength assessment, is a crucial aspect of engineering construction for most industrialized countries.Non-destructive testing bluelight (NDT) techniques are commonly employed to assess the compressive strength of concrete structures.However, existing methods fo

Impact of Sharing Disruption in MC CR-NOMA

Spectrum sharing disruption in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) can significantly degrade network performance.Most sharing disruption attacks in the literature focus on orthogonal multiple access (OMA) or higher layers, such as medium access control (MAC).However, this paper focuses on multi-copyright cognitive radio non-orthogonal multiple access (

Mental health problems among female sex workers in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

BackgroundThe psychological health of female sex workers (FSWs) has emerged as a major public health concern in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).Key risk factors include poverty, low education, violence, alcohol and drug use, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and stigma and discrimination.This systematic review and meta-analysis aime

Training and validation of a knowledge-based dose-volume histogram predictive model in the optimisation of intensity-modulated proton and volumetric modulated arc photon plans for pleural mesothelioma patients

Abstract Background To investigate the performance of a narrow-scope knowledge-based RapidPlan (RP) model for optimisation of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans applied to patients with pleural mesothelioma.Second, estimate the potential benefit of IMPT versus VMAT for this class of patients.
