In this paper, crucial aspects of the implications and the complexity of interconnected multi-pollutant multi-effect assessments of both air pollution control strategies and the closely related reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will be discussed. The main aims of the work described here are to identify the core problems which occur when trying to apply current state-of-the-art methodology t...

This paper gives an integrated view of developing a model for an assessment systems and monitoring tasks of critical patients. This model was designed according to the Temporal Abstraction dimensions and state interpretation levels, particularly the monitored physiological state. Monitoring arrhythmias was used as reference case for models development. A model based on the algorithm Smith-Water...

background: to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (mets) in young chinese population and assess the as­sociation between homa-ir and different components of mets in young chinese men. methods: overall 5576 young chinese subjects (age range [19-44 yr], 3636 men) were enrolled in, who visited our health care center for a related health checkup from march to december 2008. the intern...

we compare two approaches for a markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (fmss) using monte carlo simulation. the model which is a development of fazlollahtabar and saidi-mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (agv) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of agvs in a multiple agv jobsho...

desertification is recognized as a serious environmental threat in iran because of its climatic-geomorphologicconditions. desertification and land degradation in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions, is a globalenvironmental problem. accurate assessment of the status and trend of desertification is instrumental in developingglobal strategies to prevent and reverse this problem. the goal o...

The large or small scale of a landslide is natural, widespread process, resulting from the downward and outward movement slope-forming materials, such as sculpting landscape. Characterized material properties’ inhomogeneities conditions become challenge process required availability wide range data, observations, measurements with an evaluation geological hydrological conditions. Detailed inves...
