abstract regarding temporal variation of rivers discharge and demands, for suitable use of dam reservoirs stored water, application of operation rule curves is necessary. operation rules are expressed with rule curves. application of yield model is one of the methods of operation curve preparation, which correlates reservoir operation with reservoir storage volume in first period. in this study...

This paper describes the development of a hybrid model based on artificial neural network and its industrial application to the ironmaking at Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN -Volta Redonda/Brazil). The Iron Blast Furnace is highly complex process subject to oscillations in raw material characteristics. A precise model is essential to adjust © 2002 charging and blow conditions to match produ...

BACKGROUND Work-related burns are common among occupational injuries. Zhejiang Province is an industrial area with a high incidence of chemical burns. We aimed to survey epidemiological features of chemical burns in Zhejiang province to determine associated factors and acquire data for developing a strategy to prevent and treat chemical burns. METHODS Questionnaires were developed, reviewed a...
