Results of Sensitivity Analysis: Naloxone distribution was costeffective in all deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity and scenario analyses, and it was cost-saving if it resulted in fewer overdoses or emergency medical service activations. In a “worst-case scenario” where overdose was rarely witnessed and naloxone was rarely used, minimally effective, and expensive, the ICER was $14 000. ...

throughout life cycle of oil production wells, it is imperative to have production optimization and real response time to rapid changes of well conditions and more understanding of subsurface otherwise it is the matter of expenditure losing. smart well capabilities meet aforementioned issues. however there is a key concern in managers' mind that they have limited budget and several fields' docu...

block heights and capillary continuity between matrix blocks play paramount role in the sensitivity analysis and therefore the history matching of cumulative oil production and production rate of carbonated fractured reservoirs. in this study, the influence of these parameters upon cumulative production and recovery factor of an iranian fractured reservoir were studied by the usage of a simulat...

the energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production were analysed in sari in the mazandaran province of iran during 2011–2012. data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with paddy producers. the results showed that the net energy gain was 27,932 mj ha-1 and energy efficiency was 1.83 during production. the results of the cobb-doug...

suspension system as one of the most important key elements of vehicle has always been considered by research centres and auto makers over the world and this issue is more important on sport cars which have special sensitive working conditions and even the smallest defect can strongly affect their performances. in this study, optimization of effective handling parameters of a sport car with thr...

Sensitivity (or importance analysis) has been first defined for “static systems”, i.e. systems described by combinatorial reliability models (fault or event trees) and several measures, both structural and probabilistic, have been proposed to assess component importance. For dynamic systems including inter-component and functional dependencies (cold spare, shared load, shared ressources, ....),...

A probabilistic methodology for evaluating failure risk, assessing service life, and establishing design parameters for structures subject to fatigue failure has been developed. In this methodology, engineering analysis is combined with experience from tests and service to quanti& failure risk. The methodology is particularly valuable when information on which to base design analysis or failure...
