a tug which, according to towage contract, renders salvage services to tow, is not, principally, entitled to reward, although she has, practically, rescued the tow from danger. notwithstanding this, section 176 of iranian maritime act says: a tug has no right to remuneration for assistance to or salvage of the vessel she is towing or of the vessel cargo, except where she has rendered exceptiona...

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) emphasizes that shipwreck accidents frequently occur at sea and advocates for the safe recovery of shipwrecks. This paper examines case Korean “Sewol” ferry salvage, where two lifting barges were symmetrically utilized to retrieve a substantial shipwreck. dynamic analysis salvage operation is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. mai...

BACKGROUND Several studies in the last decade evaluated conservative surgical procedures and, in particular, supracricoid operations as an alternative to total laryngectomy for the salvage of recurrences of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after a first attempt of organ preservation. METHODS The clinical records of 68 consecutive patients primarily treated by irradiation or endoscopic ...

Despite the importance of the Newsvendor model, little attention has been paid to its robustness with respect to the estimation of one of its inputs, the salvage value. This oversight is inappropriate because we show that the performance of the Newsvendor model is quite sensitive to the particular method chosen to estimate the salvage value. We highlight two reasons for this sensitivity: small ...

There is an intense debate about the effects of postfire salvage logging versus nonintervention policies on regeneration of forest communities, but scant information from experimental studies is available. We manipulated a burned forest area on a Mediterranean mountain to experimentally analyze the effect of salvage logging on bird-species abundance, diversity, and assemblage composition. We us...

Remotely sensed imagery provides a useful tool for land managers to assess the extent and severity of post-wildfire salvage logging disturbance. This investigation uses high resolution QuickBird and National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery to map soil exposure after ground-based salvage operations. Three wildfires with varying post-fire salvage activities and variable ground truth d...
