introduction: today, with development of various industries, the adverse events originated from explosion and emission of toxic and chemical substances have increased. these events may cause serious environmental problems that threaten human health and safety. therefore, knowledge about the risk of toxic substances from industrial facilities is essential. although, chlorine is extensively utili...

nanosized tio2 particles were prepared by sol–gel method. the tio2 particles were co-deposited with chromium using electrodeposition technique. in investigating of coating surfaces by scanning electron microscope (sem), the results showed that the morphology of the coating surface was changed by adding tio2 nanoparticles to the chromium coating. the corrosion behavior of the coatings was assess...

water conveyance systems (wcss) are costly infrastructures in terms of materials, construction, maintenance and energy requirements. much attention has been given to the application of optimization methods to minimize the costs associated with such infrastructures. historically, traditional optimization techniques have been used, such as linear and non-linear programming. in this paper, applica...
