Pipeline networks are one of the key infrastructures of our modern life. Proactive monitoring and frequent inspection of pipeline networks are very important for sustaining their safe and efficient functionalities. Existing monitoring and maintenance approaches are costly and inefficient because pipelines can be installed in large scale and in an inaccessible and hazardous environment. To overc...

Although carbonate ramps are widely described from the geological record, there is still a debate on relative influence of water temperature, trophic conditions and type factories their development. The ca 2400 km long Australian North West Shelf among largest Cenozoic provinces worldwide, records transition an early Miocene ramp to middle rimmed platform. This change observable publicly availa...

The corridor simulation environment with the capability of modeling various types of traffic control strategies as the external control modules is of critical importance in developing and improving corridor management strategies. In this research, a microscopic network simulation model, Vissim, is used to develop such an environment, where the new stratified Mn/DOT metering algorithm was simula...

The Govanda Formation was deposited during the Early-Middle Miocene Epoch in intermountain areas between Zagros Suture and Imbricate zones. Paleoecology depositional environment of has been studied detail Mergasor Penjwen districts for first time. formation these two sections from bottom to top is comprised thick bedded, oyster chert bearing conglomerate, pebbly sandstone, red-brown shale silts...

The carbon isotopic (delta(13)C) composition of bulk carbonate sediments deposited off the margins of four carbonate platforms/ramp systems (Bahamas, Maldives, Queensland Plateau, and Great Australian Bight) show synchronous changes over the past 0 to 10 million years. However, these variations are different from the established global pattern in the delta(13)C measured in the open oceans over ...
