fter 20-30 years ships are at the end of their effective service life [9] and they are then dismantled. Ship dismantling in the US is quite different from in developing countries, and ship deconstruction costs are much higher in the US. The ship deconstructors in developing countries earn significant profits because of lower recycling costs of the ships and higher resale values of the scrap. Pr...

the purpose of this paper is to present a 2d depth-averaged model for simulating and examining unsteady flow patterns in open channel bends. in particular, this paper proposes a 2d depth-averaged model that takes into account the influence of the secondary flow phenomenon through calculation of the dispersion stresses. the dispersion terms which arose from the integration of the product of the ...

a new mathematical model for the optimal production isformulated for the inventory management system under time-varyingand stochastic inflation environment for deteriorating items. the timehorizon is finite and demand rate is dependent to the inflation. in thereal situation, some but not all customers will wait for backlogged itemsduring a shortage period, such as for fashionable commodities or...

A two-dimensional single particle finite element model was used to examine the effects of particle fragmental pattern on the average molecular weights, polymerization rate and particle overheating in heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization. A two-site catalyst kinetic mechanism was employed together with a dynamic two-dimensional molecular species in diffusion-reaction equation. The i...

The purpose of this study was to examine the expected returns of Carhart model compared to the capital asset pricing model and the implicit capital cost model based on cash and capital returns of growth and value stocks. The statistical population consisted of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange and the time domain is between 2007 and 2016. By choosing Cochran sampling, 126 companies ...
