One of the most challenging safety precautions for workers in dynamic, radioactive environments is avoiding radiation sources and sustaining low exposure. This paper presents a sampling-based algorithm, DL-RRT*, for minimum dose walk-path re-planning in radioactive environments, expedient for occupational workers in nuclear facilities to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure. The method combines the principle of random tree star ($RRT^*$) and $D^*$ Lite, and uses the expansion strength of grid search strategy from $D^*$ Lite to quickly find a high-quality initial path to accelerate convergence rate in $RRT^*$. The algorithm inherits probabilistic completeness and asymptotic optimality from $RRT^*$ to refine the existing paths continually by sampling the search-graph obtained from the grid search process. It can not only be applied to continuous cost spaces, but also make full use of the last planning information to avoid global re-planning, so as to improve the efficiency of path planning in frequently changing environments. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method was verified by simulating radiation field under varying obstacles and radioactive environments, and the results were compared with $RRT^*$ algorithm output.

The existing studies on the localization in the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) denied environment usually exploit low-cost MEMS IMU (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems Inertial Measurement Unit) sensors to replace the GNSS signals. However, the navigation system still requires GNSS signals for the normal environment. This paper presents an integrated GNSS/INS (Inertial Navigation System) navigation system which combines GNSS and multiple IMU sensors using extended Kalman filter in partially GNSS-denied environments. The position and velocity of the INS and GNSS are used as the inputs to the integrated navigation system. The Mahalanobis distance is used for novelty detection to detect the outlier of GNSS measurements. When the abnormality is detected in GNSS signals, GNSS data is excluded from the fusion process. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a higher degree of positioning accuracy in the partially GNSS-denied environment.

This study aims to derive key construction supervision work that can be digitalized among construction supervision work. The scope of the study includes domestic construction sites to which the Building Act of South Korea is applied. First, the construction supervision process was identified through extensive consultation of construction expert witnesses. Afterwards, the key construction supervision works for digitization were derived through survey results construction expert witnesses. Among the 24 supervision works throughout the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction stages, the proportion of supervision work manpower or cost, the type of data generated by supervision work and the urgency of introducing digital technology, and the impact on productivity and safety of supervision work were evaluated on a 5-point scale from "very low" to "very high" was investigated. The survey was conducted by t-test analysis, and as a result, it was possible to derive that the level of digitization was higher than average in "quality management," "safety management," and "collection and cooperation of maintenance instructions." It can be interpreted that digitization has been introduced on a pilot testing basis or has already been completed according to the needs of the site. On the other hand, it can be interpreted that the work that are obtained below the average score are considered to be realistically constrained at the construction site and that it is inevitable for the supervisor to proceed manually. Future studies include analyzing the quantitative impact of the key construction supervision work once digitalization is fully applied.

Aluminum-induced crystallization (AIC) as a route to reduce the fabrication cost and to obtain polycrystalline Si (p-Si) thin-film of large grain size is a promising alternative of single-crystalline (s-Si) substrate or p-Si thin-film obtained by conventional methods such as solid phase crystallization (SPC) and laser-induced crystallization (LIC). As the AIC process occurs at the interface between a-Si and Al thin-films, there are various process and interface parameters. Also, it directly means that there is a certain parametric window to obtain p-Si of large grain size having uniform crystal orientation. In this article, we investigate the effect of the various process and interface parameters to obtain p-Si of large grain size and uniform crystal orientation from the literature review. We also suggest the potential use of the p-Si as a virtual substrate for the growth of various compound semiconductors in a form of low-dimension as well as thin-film as a way for their monolithic integration on Si.

Delays in completing construction projects have significant financial and social impact to all parties involved in the construction process and in particular in developing countries. This is very evident in most construction projects in Libya and in both public and private sectors. The research study was initiated by Libyan Government and the main aim of the project is to develop a new strategy in reducing the impact of delay factors. In order to achieve this, a number of objectives have been set-to conduct a comprehensive literature survey, to conduct a comparative study of the delay factors in project completion in both Libya and UK using semi structured questionnaire and finally, to identify and analyse the causes of delay and ranked them using frequency of occurrence and severity. The critical causes of delay for construction projects were quite different between Libya and UK. For the former, the most critical causes of delay in Libyan construction industry were low skills of manpower, changes in the scope of the project, slowness in giving instruction and poor qualification of consultant, while for the latter they were financial problems, bad weather conditions on the job site and change in the scope of project. Statistical experiments including Paired Samples T-Test, was run to test the significance of the survey data in both countries Libya and UK. The statistical results confirmed the collected data from the survey were significant.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers and is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Based on the current screening guidelines by the American Cancer Society and Korean multi-society expert committee, CRC screening is recommended in asymptomatic adults starting at the age of 45 years. Fecal immunochemical test-based screening programs reduce the development of CRC and related mortality in the general population. However, this most popular CRC screening strategy demonstrates a crucial limitation due to modest diagnostic accuracy. Colonoscopy may be considered as an alternative primary method for CRC screening; however, its implementation can still be challenging due to concerns regarding invasiveness, low adherence, cost-effectiveness, and quality assurance. To overcome the limitations of current screening tests, innovative noninvasive tests for CRC screening have been developed with advances in molecular biology, genetics, epigenetics, and microbiomics for detecting CRC, which may enhance the approach to CRC screening and diagnosis in clinical practice in the near future. This review explores the emerging screening methods and discusses their potential for integration into current practice.

Purpose - The ICT market in the EU is lagging behind that of the US; however, algorithm and software development within the EU have grown steadily, and they involve focusing on the creative cultural convergence conceptualized as part of Horizon 2020 and connecting neighboring markets in the EE and the Mediterranean region. It is essential to study the requirements to market the EU's creative ICT development in emerging industrial countries after examining its applicability in these countries. Research design, data, and methodology - This study deals with data pertaining to the EU's creative industry and competitive edge. The global cultural expansion of the EU facilitates a new concept involving not only low-cost IT products to enhance local cultural artifacts through R&D and the construction of efficient infrastructure services, but also information exchange with a realistic commercialization of the technology that can be applied for creative cultural localization. In the European industry, research on algorithms has been applied for the benefit of consumers. We investigated how the process is conducted in the EU. Results - Europe needs to adjust its economic structure to the local culture as part of IT distribution convergence. The convergence has been converted into a production algorithm with IT in the form of low-cost production. This is because there is an attempt to improve the quality of transport infrastructure, workforce availability, and the distribution of the distance to the local industries and consumers, using IT algorithms. Integrated into the manufacturing industry, based on the ICT infrastructure and solutions, smart localized regional clusters are formed with the help of grafting. Europe has own strategy to increase the number of hub-and-spoke cities. Europe is now becoming integrated, with an EPC system for regional cooperation rather than national competition in ICT technology. Europe has also been recognized in this study as changing the step-by-step paradigm for global competitiveness through new creative culture industries. Conclusions - As a result, there are several ways of converging with others through EU R&D intensity; therefore, the EU can be seen as successfully increasing marginal value, which is useful in developing a special industrial cluster or local cultural cities that create converged development by connecting people and objects with IT. In fact, when compared to the US, Europe has a strong culture and the car industries have a tendency to overshadow the IT industries with integration of services in IT distribution. Considering the rapid environmental changes, the convergence of IT services is likely to take place in Europe, similar to the pharmaceutical industry and the automotive industry. This requires a focus on human resources and automated systems management. The trend is to move away from low-wage industries, switched to key personnel centers of the local university-industry. EU emphasizes the creation of IT market demand in Europe involving local cultural convergence for marketing as the second step to strengthen the economic hub-and-spoke areas.

公司生产不同功能, 设计, 颜色的产品. 产品扩散的出现有三个不同的原因. 当存在规模经济, 当这种产品和别的产品一起生产时, 单位成本比单独生产要低. 二, 消费者是异构的, 即它们具有不同的品味, 喜好, 或价格弹性. 一家公司可赚取细分为具有类似特点的不同群体的消费者更多的利润. 例如, 产品扩散通过更准确地满足不同消费者的需要来帮助公司增加利润. 产品扩散的第三个原因是基于战略. 生产一定数量的产品, 不仅可以阻止通过提供给一些少数市场的产品进入, 也使得公司可以有效地应付低价格进入. 通过生产各种产品, 公司可以减少利基, 使潜在进入者有较少进入的诱因. 此外, 企业可以生产新产品来应对进入, 我们称之为战斗品牌. 也就是说, 当一个进入者试图以低廉的价格吸引消费者, 已存在者介绍新的低质量的产品, 同时保持现有产品的价格. 产品扩散的缺点是同型装配. 一些买了高价位的产品的消费者会转向低价位的产品. 此外, 当新产品与对手现有的产品的异化程度不高时, 由于激烈的竞争, 产品扩散会降低利润. 许多研究已经在经济分析和市场营销等领域的产品线竞争的影响. 它们展示了一个垄断者可以通过调整质量来解决市场中的消费者对质量的偏好不同的同型装配的问题. 他们发现, 喜欢高品质的产品的消费者将获得他或她最喜欢的质量, 但没有这方面的偏好的消费者将获得比他或她所喜爱的质量低的产品. 本研究分析了产品的竞争在一个双头垄断市场, 两种不同类型的消费者对质量偏好的影响. 我假设这两家公司将在这个意义上的不对称, 一个运营商可以同时生产高, 低质量的产品, 而一个进入者只能产生低质量的产品. 产品扩散的影响是可以通过比较市场结果来解释, 当已存在的运营商生产两种产品和只生产一种产品时. 在这个案例中, 当已存在的运营商只生产高品质的产品, 由于激烈的竞争, 在喜欢低质量产品的消费群中低质量的产品价格趋于下降. 但由于缺乏竞争, 在喜欢高质量产品的消费群中价格会上涨. 据了解, 当企业在进行价格竞争时, 理想状况是当公司的对 手提高价格时, 此公司也提高价格, 这被称为战略补充. 由于价格是战略性的补充, 我们有两种相反的效果. 事实证明, 一个高品质的产品价格上升, 因为竞争力减弱的积极作用超过了战略互补的负面影响. 这意味着, 已存在的运营商推出了低质量的产品时还需要增加高品质产品的价格. 然而, 在进入者的低质量产品的价格变化是模糊的. 二, 此案例中, 已存在的运营商只生产低品质的产品, 在偏好低质量的消费群中价格往往增加. 但在偏好高质量的消费群中价格往往下降. 低质量产品的价格下降是因为负面影响大于正面影响. 而且, 当已存在的运营商生产两种产品时, 其低质量产品的价格往往较高, 尽管两家的低品质的产品质量一样. 此原因由于对高品质产品价格的负面影响, 运营商没有较大的动机去降低低品质产品的价格. 事实上, 竞争的产品线对利润的影响不仅取决于价格变化, 还取决于销售和同型装配. 如果在边际成本同产品质量的差异相比是适中的话, 产品扩散的积极影响大于负面影响, 从而增加利润. 此外, 如果成本差异是非常大(小), 运营商最好只生产一种低 (高)质量的产品. 而且, 本研究还分析了当公司通过关注战斗品牌来决定产品特征时, 竞争产品线的影响. 最近, 大韩航空和韩亚航空公司建立了廉价航空线路, 分别是Jin线路和釜山线. 来应对Hansung航空和济州航空. 另外, 很多网上书店也进入市场, 例如处于领先地位的实体书店Kyobo已经有了自己的网上书店. 通过战斗品牌, 在它的低品质产品跟新成员比起来有差别时, 一个具有高品质产品的运营商通过生产更多的低质量产品可以增加利润.
