The purpose of this research was to introduce and describe a model for Fire Quantitative Risk Assessment of in petroleum Storage Tanks. A novel model was designed to determine the risk of a fire occurrence using of Loss Causation and Swiss cheese models. Then, based on FTA, model and its integration with our initial proposed model, the final model was obtained for fire hazard determination in h...

We compared the extent to which a potentially groundwater-contaminating ecological disaster affected adolescents’ bottled water consumption and perceived risk use tap water. The group consists of 221 adolescents (56.6% were girls, Mage = 15.44, SDage 0.60), while control consisted 156 (56.4% 15.50, 0.55). Comprehensive Action Determination Model that explains pro-environmental actions was used ...

Comprehensive geotechnical modelling of the behaviour of piles generally encounters setbacks: in preparing model bed simulating field conditions, of specific and uniform shear strength, and reproduction for repetitions. Due to such limitations in traditional practices, information on the complex mechanism of shaft-base resistance interaction is not adequately known. Other outcomes are: varied r...

this paper presented methods to determine the aerodynamic forces that acton an aircraft wing during flight. these methods are initially proposed for asimplified two degree-of-freedoms airfoil model and then are extensivelyapplied for a multi-degree-of-freedom airfoil system. different airspeedconditions are considered in establishing such methods. the accuracy of thepresented methods is verifie...

in this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in moroccan holstein-friesian dairy cows. data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and

determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...
