Transformers in power plants act as intermediaries between the power plant and the power grid, which are affected by electrical stresses such as switching, thermal stresses such as overload and arc, and chemical reactions in the dielectric oil. Acid and moisture components cause deterioration of transformer oil and paper insulation. Condition assessment of transformers is a method to predict an...

the main objective in sampling is to select a sample from a population in order to estimate some unknown population parameter, usually a total or a mean of some interesting variable. a simple way to take a sample of size n is to let all the possible samples have the same probability of being selected. this is called simple random sampling and then all units have the same probability of being ch...

this study considers the level of increase in customer satisfaction by supplying the variant customer requirements with respect to organizational restrictions. in this regard, anp, qfd and bgp techniques are used in a fuzzy set and a model is proposed in order to help the organization optimize the multi-objective decision-making process. the prioritization of technical attributes is the result ...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

In this paper, competitiveness of nuclear power plants in comparison with fossil fuel power plants in Iran has been evaluated. For the first step, different factors affecting economic competitiveness of thermal power plants such as Investment, O&M and Fuel Costs, Discount Rate and Environmental Impacts has been studied. To analyse the effect of each parameter, screening curve method has been us...

a professional is someone whose work involves performing a certain function with some degree of expertise. but a narrower definition limits the term to apply to people such as teachers and doctors, whose expertise involves not only skill and knowledge but also the exercise of highly sophisticated judgment, and whose accreditation necessitates extensive study, often university-based as well as p...

The vegetation maintaining of rangelands and desertlands is one of the main techniques desertification and management. The best species for rangeland is native plants that adapted ecosystem with high forage quality and effective soil stability the same as Salsola orientalis and Kochia prostrata plant species in the east of Golestan province. The aim of this study is investigating the production...
