Mechanical behavior of two-layer metal laminate structures under low-speed impact loading was investigated experimentally and numerically. The experimental results were just used for validation of numerical results. Then numerical modeling was used to study the behavior of metal laminates in details. The mechanical behavior of the metal laminate structures under impact loading was found to be d...

OBJECTIVE To investigate cause-specific mortality among asbestos workers and potentially exposed workers in Belgium and evaluate potential excess in mortality due to established and suspected asbestos-related diseases. DESIGN This cohort study is based on an individual record linkage between the 1991 Belgian census and cause-specific mortality information for Flanders and Brussels (2001-2009)...

The plating industry is one of the main toxic chemicals consumers, which uses various chemicals, including solvents, acids, bases, cleansers, sophisticated organic ingredients, and metal salts of cadmium, nickel and chromium. Due to the growing production of industrial waste in spite of actions related to these wastes’ management, no comprehensive pattern was introduced at different levels. Thi...

In this article, we calculate the spectra of the double ionization energy (the energy required for adding two electrons to the neutral system) of small alkali-metal clusters (K2 and Li2) including the effect of electron–electron short-range correlation by adding two one-particle energies within the GW approximation and taking into account the electron–electron repulsive interaction effectively....

Although the implementation of targeted energy subsidies plan has been considered by policymakers since the First 5-year Economic, Social and Cultural Development Plan in Iran, it is only partially implemented in 2010. This issue has great importance for industry sector that has benefited from subsidized energy prices. This research attempts to investigate the possible impact of implementing Su...

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün (WHO) Mart 2020’de pandemi olarak ilan ettiği COVID-19 salgınının yol açtığı küresel üretim daralması, birçok ülkenin ekonomisini durma noktasına getirmiştir. Türk imalat sektörünün lokomotifi konumunda olan ana metal sanayisi de pandemiden en çok etkilenen sektörlerin başında gelmektedir. Sektördeki şirketlerin finansal performansları, yöneticilerin ve sermaye piyasası ...

The JAEA and JLAB energy-recovery IR free-electron lasers (ERL-FEL) have successfully demonstrated their capabilities of a sub ps pulse, high efficiency, GW high peak power, kW average power, and wide tunability. Utilizing the high power FEL and ERL technologies, we could realize a more powerful and more efficient FEL than 20kW and 25%, respectively, for nuclear industry, pharmacy, medical, def...

Music in general and the music industry in particular have been understudied subjects in the field of geography. The relatively scarce amount of literature on music industries has concentrated its attention on companies operating inside the industry, and on popular music. There is a gap in the knowledge on the networking processes of individuals inside the music industry and the geographical dy...

Biosorption is most economical method for removing toxic metals from waste water.The paper presents the results of studies carried out on sorption of zinc ions from aqueous solutions by a coffee industry waste s a low-cost sorbent. It was found that crushed coffee industry waste possess relatively high sorption capacity as 46.05 mg/g, when comparing with other sorbents. The biosorption studies ...

safety performance is the overall performance of the organization safety management system in the operational system of safety. in the present study, the components of safety performance included visible management leadership, employee participation, training, inspection, implementation tools, and maintenance. the objectives of this study were to assess safety performance, and to analyze differ...
