Road traffic safety is the result of a complex interaction of factors, and causes behind road vehicle crashes require different measures to reduce their impacts. This study assesses how strongly the variation in daily winter crash rates associates with weather conditions in Finland. This is done by illustrating trends and spatiotemporal variation in the crash rates, by showing how a GIS applica...

this study will evaluates climate change impacts on groundwater resources in hamadan-bahar alluvial aquifer in the west of iran. different climate models are weighted in the basis of their ability in predicting monthly observed climate data in the base study period (1970-2000). with respect to climate models weights and their predictions, precipitation and temperature changes in 10, 50 and 90 p...

agriculture is one of the main sectors affected by climate change. although recently some studies about the nature and size climate change effect on the physical variables of water resources and agriculture have been done, however economic perspectives and the role of adaptation strategies have been less studied empirically. the contribution of this study is modeling real economic behavior of s...

This initial publication is part of a series publications that will appear soon, which pursue final objective for the proposal fully integrated and controlled hybrid system composed floating wind turbine—type “OC3-Hywind”—and two marine current turbines with aim increasing energy generated by installation and, at same time, use set as actuators an integral cooperative control to ensure structur...

in this paper the effect of block shape vortex generators (vgs) on an air-water fin-tube heat exchanger has been studied experimentally using exergy analysis method. also the effect of these vgs on increasing heat transfer rate has been simulated numerically and the results show a good agreement with the experiments. in this research we used a wind tunnel to produce wind flow over heat exchange...
