DURAMETR - A New Stand for Estimating the Durability of Textiles

Estimating the durability of building stones against Salt crystallization: considering the physical properties and strength characteristics

Salt crystallization is one of the most important weathering agents and may limit the durability of building stones. Salt crystallization induces stresses inside the pores of stones. Consequently, stone durability is closely related to its physical properties and strength. The purpose of this study was to propose a statistical model for estimating stone durability against salt crystallization c...

Estimating the Mechanical Properties of Travertine Building Stones Due to Salt Crystallization Using Multivariate Regression Analysis

     Salt crystallization is one of the most powerful weathering agents that may cause a rapid change in the mechanical properties of stones, and thus limit their durability. Consequently, determining the mechanical properties of stones due to salt crystallization is important for natural building stones used in marine environmental and mild climatic conditions, which expose excessive salt crys...

Study on the effect of forest stand distribution pattern on results of different estimators of the nearest individual distance method

The Nearest Individual Sampling Method is one of the distance sampling methods for estimating density, canopy cover and height of forest stands. Some distance sampling methods have more than one density estimator that may be skewed to the spatial pattern. Unless the stands of the trees under study have a random spatial pattern. Therefore, the purpose of this study was evaluating the effect of s...
