railway service terminals are the places of a railway network usually equipped with costly technology based on highly complicated technological procedures demanding a high degree of coordination and control skills. design of these systems and the organization of their operation should facilitate reaching to the required capacity together with high quality of service processes as well as minimal...

the models oryza2000, swap and wofost simulate the growth and development of rice under conditions of potential production and water limitation. the models were evaluated against a data set of field experiments. the study was laid out in rcbd with three replications for one traditional landrace, hashemi, carried out in 2005 at the rice research institute of iran in rasht. the irrigation managem...

conclusions using the simulation as a decision making tool helps us to decide how we can reduce outpatient's waiting time. comparison of outputs of this scenario and the based- case scenario in simulation model shows that combining physician's work time changing with patient's admission time changing (scenario 9) would reduce patient waiting time about 73.09%. due to dynamic and complex nature ...

flood is one of the most calamitous natural disasters that causes extensive property and life damages across theworld. it however, could be a blessing due to its special natural water resources recharging value. by simulating themagnitude of probable floods considering the anthropogenic and natural effects and implementing contingency plans,their damages could be reduced. in this paper, the gen...

abstract land surface hydrological models has importance in the determination of soil moisture and temperature, the rate of evapotranspiration, stream flow by emphasis on the land surface physical and dynamic process descriptions. in this research, vic land surface hydrological model has been used for the land surface temperature and stream flow determination. the vic runoff simulation in each ...

the artificial accelerograms have been developed for assessing the dynamic response ofstructures. considering seismological properties of the site are necessary for the best simulation ofaccelerograms. the real recorded accelergrams for simulating earthquake phenomenon are used in thearma model. this is due to the fact that the arma model can be considered more advantageous than theothers.in th...

discrete element method (dem) is extensively used for mathematical modeling and simulating the behavior of discrete discs and discrete spheres in two and three dimensional space, respectively. prediction of particles flow regime, power draw and kinetic energy for a laboratory or an industrial mill is possible by dem simulation. in this article, a new approach was used to assess the main paramet...

abstract the propose of this study was evaluation of cropsyst model on growth simulation and yield stimation of canola under different irrigation treatments. canola (talaye) was sown under 5 treatment and 4 replicants in completed randomized block designs at the college of agriculture, shiraz universityduring 2007-2008. during the growth season dry mass and lai was meseaured frequently, then mo...

background : so far, several studies were conducted to estimate the prevalence of cigarette smoking in iran, but none of them used a statistical model to deal with unobserved smokers. the present study planned to estimate the accurate prevalence of cigarette smoking using mixture of truncated poisson distribution. methods : a cross-sectional study was conducted in hamadan, west of iran in 2009,...
