risk assessment and management of petrochemical feed and product transportation pipelines is very important to preventing probable accidents. so, 60 pipelines evaluated by chemical exposure index and chlorine pipeline due to high hazard distances selected for relative risk analysis. the chlorine pipeline with 3468 meter length divided to 100 meter sections, and third party damage index (tpdi), ...

The multiplier is the building block required in the adaptive equalizer that is most costly in terms of both speed and power. Since the power consumed by a CMOS digital circuit is CV 2 f, reducing the power supply and employing one or a combination of parallelism and pipelining can result in a significant power savings [4]. Applications using a power supply of 3.3 V are becoming widespread in o...

In the real world, decision making processes must be able to integrate non-stationary information that changes systematically while the decision is in progress. Although theories of decision making have traditionally been applied to paradigms with stationary information, non-stationary stimuli are now of increasing theoretical interest. We developed the piecewise linear ballistic accumulator (P...

Cryptographic accumulators have often been proposed for use in security protocols, and the theoretical runtimes of algorithms using them have been shown to be reasonably efficient, but their performance in the real world has rarely been measured. In this paper I analyze the performance differences between two cryptographic accumulator constructions, RSA accumulators and bilinear-map accumulator...

Investigations on the design of controllable magnetorheological (MR) fluid devices have focused heavily on low velocity and frequency applications. The extensive work in this area has led to a good understanding of MR fluid properties at low velocities and frequencies. However, the issues concerning MR fluid behavior in impact and shock applications are relatively unknown. To investigate MR flu...
