A p-hub center network design problem consists of some nodes as hubs and allocation of non-hub nodes to them wherein the maximum travel times between any pair of nodes is minimized. The distinctive feature of this study is proposing a new mathematical formulation for modeling costs in a p-hub center problem. Here, instead of considering costs as a linear function of distance, for the first time...

risk assessment and management techniques are used in industrial activities to reduce accidents by applying preventive and protective methods. in this article a preventive approach called hazard and operability study (hazop) was used. the application of hazop, a process hazard identification and control method, has been demonstrated in the fatty acid unit of golnar oil company, northwest of teh...

The European Union adopted a Directive in 2002 on minimum requirements for the health and safety of workers exposed to vibration. This is known as the Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive.

High frequency hearing loss is related to noise-induced deafness. We decided to develop a method of recording serial audiogram results that would provide an accessible overview of trends for an individual. Health & Safety Executive (HSE) warning and referral levels for high frequency hearing losses were plotted against age. A third line was added to indicate a level of 'significant' handicap. T...

The authors report on a case of concurrent herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) and malignant glioma. The co-occurrence of HSE and malignant glioma is very rare, but it can occur during glioma treatment. Both radiotherapy and chemoradiation with temozolomide can induce viral reactivation, leading to HSE relapse. Careful observation for HSE is necessary when administering chemoradiation to patients...
