متن کاملComparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics
Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...
متن کاملInvestigation of the management scenarios for the aquifer recovery using mathematical modeling (Case study: Abarkuh aquifer)
Ground waters are considered as substantial water resources in many parts of the world especially in arid and semi-arid area such as Iran. The population growth, the intensive use ofsurface water and groundwater resources has often affected ground water levels. To meeting water management objectives it is essential to have a comprehensive study on the aquifer recharge and ground water withdrawa...
متن کاملTransient population dynamics in periodic matrix models: methodology and effects of cyclic permutations.
Many biological populations are subject to periodically changing environments such as years with or without fire, or rotation of crop types. The dynamics and management options for such populations are frequently investigated using periodic matrix models. However the analysis is usually limited to long-term results (asymptotic population growth rate and its sensitivity to perturbations of vital...
متن کاملIndustrial waste management using the rapid impact assessment matrix method for an industrial park
Due to the growth of population and industrialization, a great number of problems associated with producing industrial wastes have been created for both the environment and human beings. The industrial waste management in Brujen industrial park, located in the western part of Iran, has been investigated in this study using the environmental rapid impact assessment matrix techn...
