This paper uses data drawn from the English Football League to model separate hazard rates for club managers for the 2001/2, 2002/3 and 2003/4 seasons. On average over the three seasons, approximately one-third of managers involuntarily exited employment status with their club. We model the hazard using a standard logistic model exploiting information on the spell at risk rather than the indivi...

In this research work, silica nano-porous thin films were deposited on glass substrates by layer by layer method. The thin films were calcinated at various calcination temperatures (200, 300, 400, and 500 °C). The morphology, surface characteristics, surface roughness and hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total ...

In order to evaluate canopy and organs temperature depression (TD) under heat stress conditions and the effects of plant morphology on organs temperature depression and their association with grain yield, two field experiments were conducted using six wheat cultivars (Behrang, Chamran, Kauz, Koohdasht, Karim and Montana) planted on three dates (early, optimum, late) in 2014-2015 and 2015 -2016 ...

carbon nanotubes (cnts), nowadays, are one of the important nanomaterials that can be produce with different methods such as chemical vapor deposition (cvd). growing of cnts via cvd method can be influenced by several operating parameters that can affect their quality and quantity. in this article, the effects of inlet gas mixture temperature on cnt’s local growth rate, total production, and le...

knowledge of the warming or cooling effects induced by asphalt or grass covered areas, may improve our understanding of how thermal stress or thermal comfort is created for workers who have to work outdoors for long hours in warm seasons. for this purpose a field measurements were carried out to know the cooling and warming effects of two adjacent areas, one covered with grass and the other wit...

the dissipated energy from periodic deformation is regarded as the main reason for heat generation and temperature rise inside the tire domain. however, the mechanical behavior of rubber parts is highly temperature dependent. in most performed investigations, the influence of thermal effects on stress/ deformation fields of pneumatic tires is ignored and just temperature distribution is conside...

a lithium borate thermoluminescence dosimeter with 0.3 wt% of manganese impurityconcentration was prepared for high dose levels in the range of 1-30 kgy for gamma irradiation applications.the tld reader was used for read out purposes from ambient temperature to about 400°c with a heating rate of 6°c/sec. the pre- and post- irradiation anneal temperature was 300°c for 1.5 and 1 hours respectivel...
