The objective of the current study was the development of a reliable modeling platform to calculate in real time the personal exposure and the associated health risk for filling station employees evaluating current environmental parameters (traffic, meteorological and amount of fuel traded) determined by the appropriate sensor network. A set of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) was developed to...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the occupational exposure to gasoline of men employed at filling stations affects the sex of their children. Altogether 115 offspring (47 males, 68 females) were identified within families of 49 men working in filling stations in Shiraz (Fars province, south of Iran) and 345 offspring (178 males, 167 females) from 147 families of unexposed person...

We consider jamming in wireless networks with transmission cost for both transmitter and jammer. We use the framework of non-zerosum games. In particular, we prove the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium. It turns out that it is possible to provide analytical expressions for the equilibrium strategies. These expressions is a generalization of the standard water-filling. In fact, since ...

In this paper, power allocation is distributed within each Base Station. Two cases are considered: CSIT, and iterative water filling. In both cases, a distributed convergence criterion for power control is determined and included within iterative power allocation. In the past margin Adaptive (MA) problem in MIMO OFDMA multi-cell networks. The CSIT is avoiding the margin adaptive and are consequ...

The increased travelling of today makes nodes along travelling routes more and more important. This is very much the case of petrol stations. They constitute important nodes in the road network, filling up thirsty fuel tanks and hungry stomachs, guiding road users and providing vehicle-services. In this thesis the role of the petrol station for road users was investigated in order to find out i...

In April 1976 the most disastrous peace-time accident in Finland took place in the town of Lapua, where a cartridge-filling station in an ammunition factory exploded and 40 people were killed. I was in charge of the local health centre activities, and describe what happened.
