Operational speed is an index that represents drivers’ speeding behaviors and shows the comfort and safety levels they experience. Many models had been proposed to predict operational speed in tangent and curve segments of highways. Most of these works had used geometric, with few of them conducted using roadside variables to predict operational speed. Also, the operational speed study in multi...

polarization for au/pb(zr ti )o /yba cu o ferroelectric capacitor has been studied and measured by pulse method. a sequence of pulses with amplitudes varying from 0 to 10 volts in 2 volt steps is applied and a conventional polarization curve is obtained by integrating the charge flow from the polarization switching induced by the voltage ramp. a value of 25?c/cm2 is measured for the saturated p...

known (Tillotson and Nielsen, 1984): (1) the dimensional analysis technique, which is based on the existence of Results with an empirically based one-parameter model showed physical similarity in the system; and (2) the empirical that the pore-size distribution index ( ) described in the Brooks and Corey formulation of soil hydraulic properties can scale the soil–water method, called functional...

this paper presents a simplified approach to estimate the resultant force, which should be provided by a retention system, for the equilibrium of unstable slopes. the results were obtained with a developed algorithm, based on limit equilibrium analyses, that assumes a two-part wedge failure mechanism. design charts to obtain equivalent earth pressure coefficients are presented. based on the res...

the response of karoun basin in lumped and semi-distributed simulation were compared. also, the flood intensity of the sub-basins and the effects of physical parameters on flood hydrograph have been investigated. results demonstrated that there was no significant difference between the characteristics of flood hydrograph in lumped and semi-distributed simulation. also, results showed that the f...
