Given the security problems of the urban rail transportation, this paper proposes a methodology for congestion risk evaluation and precaution in order to guarantee the safety of passengers and improve the operation efficiency in metro stations. To begin with, we selected the retention rate of the platform, the waiting rate of the ticket gate and the transfer efficiency as the indexes for the st...

The quality of pressure distribution over the atmosphere of the sea level and geopotential altitude at different atmosphere layers affect on many climate and meteorology phenomena of the earth surface. One of the important meteorology phenomenon is the occurrence of frost phenomenon especially late spring frost. In this surrey, occurring late spring frost days and minimum temperature during the...

Prolonged acquisition of dynamic blood pressure data from animal subjects in various experimental conditions has become a special research area in numerous institutions. To properly conduct many of these experiments, the subject must be instrumented with blood pressure sensors and a means of conveying the indicated pressure level to a remote station. Quite often data must be obtained over sever...

the writers of this research have studied seven variables including: precipitation, relative humidity, sunny hours, temperature average, temperature minimum, temperature maximum and sea level pressure, at sanandaj air station during 1964-1994. sanandaj air station has nearly 10966 days of complete data for these variables. a principal component analysis (pca) has been applied on this data; then...

The Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR) is a linear-concentrating solar thermal energy system currently in the prototype stage at the Liddell power station in the Hunter Valley, NSW. A system-level thermo-fluidic model for the CLFR has been developed in order to predict steady-state operating conditions, required pumping power and pressure, mass transfer around the system and likely startup...

we investigated the issue of noise pollution in the bidboland gas refineryby noise measurement and surveys. the bidboland gas refinery has several process units.the sound pressure levels were measured at several places, such as units of 200, 300,400, 500, boiler, powerhouse area, cooling towers pumps, and maintenance area, and thecorresponding noise maps were produced by using sound plan softwa...

noise is a common and widespread problem in workplaces. noise can lead to hearing loss, hypertension, nervous and mental disorders, annoyance and stress, sleep disturbance, negative impact on productivity and working capacity. the undesirable effects of noise on an individual or group are called annoyance. some personal and social characteristics can affect on annoyance. this study was aimed to...
