Alternative fuel vehicles may pose challenges to evacuation planning because of their short driving range and the sparse refueling infrastructure existing on transportation networks. Deployment strategic siting emergency stations are needed support alternative reach a shelter. This study proposes location-routing problem with hop constraints that optimize placement each type routing. We develop...

Multi-pass refueling scheme is a highlighted feature of pebble bed HTGR which spatially mixes the burnup calculation inside core. Such relate in one region core to others and thus affects uncertainty propagation nuclear data, e.g. fission product yield. In this work, thermal neutron induced U-235 yield uncertainties are propagated HTR-PM models with various schemes V.S.O.P. code. And effect mul...

slow sand filters are as a proper technology for pre-treatment of raw water, with a fine and medium trubidity in small communities in developing countries. thus, with a minimum operation cost and minimum need for expest bodies have the maximum efficiency. the purpose of this research is carried out to evaluate the efficiency of two processes of horizontal flow roughing filter and vertical flow ...

objective(s): previous studies showed that skeletal muscle microcirculation was reduced in chronic heart failure. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of endurance training on capillary and arteriolar density of fast and slow twitch muscles in rats with chronic heart failure. materials and methods: four weeks after surgeries (left anterior descending (lad) artery occlusion), chr...

Reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions has become one of the primary tasks for shipping industry over past few years. Among alternative marine fuels, liquefied natural (LNG) is regarded as most popular fuels because it cleanest fossil fuels. Therefore, a practical way to implement green deploy dual-fuel ships that can burn conventional fuel oil LNG on various ship routes. However, ...

Animals frequently undergo periods when they accumulate lipid reserves for subsequent energetically expensive activities, such as migration or breeding. During such periods, daily lipid-reserve dynamics (DLD) of sentinel species can quantify how landscape modifications affect function, health, and resilience of ecosystems. Aythya affinis (Eyton 1838; lesser scaup; diving duck) are macroinverteb...

PURPOSE The aim was to explore experiences of capacity to work in persons working while depressed and anxious in order to identify the essence of the phenomenon capacity to work. METHOD Four focus groups were conducted with 17 participants employed within the regular job market. Illness experiences ranged from symptoms to clinical diagnoses. A phenomenological approach was employed. RESULTS...
