This system is modelled for the contamination of an arrangement of lakes. We have to find the analytic results of this model by utilizing analytical method familiar as Variation of Parameters method (VPM).This technique reduces the computational work and converges to its solution by removing noise terms. These terms frequently occur in an iteration process of some techniques. To manage a fractional expression, we are coupling Riemann-Liouville fractional integral. We will also analyze our outcomes with some other familiar analytical methods like Variation of iteration technique, Adomian decomposition technique and Daftardar-Jafari technique to examine the ability of our applied approach.

According to Einstein's equation = 2 , energy and mass are exchangeable. If a person is moving with the speed of light, its mass will increase (i.e.body traveling with 90% of the speed of light then its mass becomes double). Einstein's equation also tells us, if the mass is converted into some energy, it also means how much energy resided in the mass. According to scientists' thinking, at this stage, a massive body cannot travel at the speed of light. If an object travels with the speed of light, the time stops and the mass of the body becomes infinite which is unrealistic but here we introduce a unique theoretical concept about energy, time and space with the help of the following cases: We consider that the body (say; we) rotate along a circular path or rotate around the pole with some speed, If; 1. Speed of the body is slightly less than the speed of light: It is possible to move from one place to another in a short interval of time. When the speed is high enough but less than the speed of light, then we can see our backside but not touch it. 2. Speed of body is equal to the speed of light: If an object(we) travel with the speed of light in a circular path, there is a chance to catch ourself. It means that we will be at the initial point from where we started our rotation, the time will stop, and probably our whole mass will be converted into energy. 3. Speed of body is greater than the speed of light: If an object (we) travel with the speed of light in a circular path, there is a chance that we pass through  Corresponding. ourself. The whole mass is converted into energy. Space and energy are exchangable. In the above two cases, the motion of the object looks like a wave.The consequence of this analysis is giving the path to scientists and opening the door into new physics.

A multi-chip module (MCM) which is integrated by multiple integrated circuits (IC) into a unified substrate can significantly reduce the interconnection spacing between various chips and enhance the electrical characteristics. Despite multi-chip module's greater performance compared with traditional encapsulation, the corresponding problem is mainly induced by thermo-mechanical, and the reliability assessment has also been a critical issue in the electronic industry. The creep-fatigue failure of solder joints under cyclic temperature fluctuations, which is caused by both ambient temperature changes and internal power cycling, plays an important role in the thermo-mechanical reliability of the MCM. In order to assess the influence of cyclic temperature loading profiles on the fatigue life of the solder joints, three different kinds of temperature-related qualification tests, i.e. accelerated temperature cycles (ATC), thermal shock cycles and modified temperature cycles with 10-minutes dwell period, are utilized in the finite element analysis (FEA). Using the FEA method, we can obtain the critical solder joints located in the outer corner of the substrate in MCM and the specific failure location of the solder joint, which is validated by the optical micrograph. Furthermore, based on the energy-partitioning damage model, a comparative analysis of the fatigue life of critical solder joints under various temperature loading profiles is made. The results obtained can improve the design and manufacture in the field of microelectronics encapsulation. For a basic qualification test, these results can also provide the guidelines for the engineers and manufacturers.

Due to increase in traffic volume and traffic loads, asphalt pavements get deteriorated gradually during their service life. Deterioration of asphalt pavements can be eliminated/minimized by enhancing the quality of bitumen and with modified bitumen. The use of nano materials as an additive because of its special characteristics is one of the self healing technique which have the potential to improve the pavement performance, extending its life span and also eliminating the need for pavement maintenance. This research work investigates the performance of nano silica in asphalt pavement. Experiments were conducted on bitumen and modified bitumen (addition of nano silica of different percentages, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% with bitumen) in order to find the optimum nano silica content for preparing Marshal Mix. It was found that, for 6% of nano silica in modified bitumen, gave improved properties among other percentages of nano silica contents that are examined. Nano silica modified bituminous mix (NSMBM) samples were prepared for various bitumen contents, i.e., 4.5%, 5% and 5.5% and conducted marshal stability test. This study concludes that, the results obtained from marshal test gives higher stability value (10. 32 kN to 20.18 kN) and lesser flow value (4.48 mm to 2.60 mm) for Modified bituminous mixes over unmodified bituminous mix samples. Finally, the healing index was also determined based on theoretical approach and obtained 80 % healing rate for modified bituminous mix. Further investigations can be carried out on long term effects of NS in asphalt pavements as well as test rest periods for different temperatures and different loads.

Utilizing the MMS data, this paper develops a two-phase automated methodology to evaluate the location and numerical value of the speed limit signs before horizontal curves on two-lane rural roadways. The first phase includes the collection of the GPS data, including the horizontal curve radius, the associated speed, curve starting point, and the safe distance before the curve to install the speed limit sign and its' value. In the second phase, the required features on speed limit signs are extracted using a Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based pattern recognition method. Findings indicate that the proposed methodology leads to 92% and 97% accuracy while identifying the speed limit signpost itself in a frame and distinguishing the speed value on the sign, respectively. In addition, horizontal curve beginning points and curve radii have been identified with a precision of 97% and 90%, respectively. The proposed methodology has the potential to help attain the needed safety standards related to the location and value on the speed limit signs before the horizontal curves in a low-cost manner.

Control of indeterminate systems, despite the actuator and sensor bias, has been and remains a major challenge. Sensor error can cause process error. Among the cases where sensor bias is common, air velocity measurements and gyroscope rates can be mentioned. Although considerable research efforts have previously focused on adapting the error, the bias correction of the sensor appears to be relatively limited. However, the cause of several crashes was the sensor error (due to radio altimeter error, angle of attack sensor error, airspeed speed sensor error). Also, finding a way to fix the sensor bias problem is of the utmost importance. The direct model reference adaptive control (MRAC) method is used to control uncertain systems using controllers that are adapted to achieve a performance close to a reference model. However, these controllers maintain system stability and provide close tracking of the reference model response. In this paper, we intend to address the problem of unknown sensor bias matching by adjusting the direct reference model adaptive control for state-feedback for state-tracking (SFST). Also, to obtain an asymptotic stable bias sensor estimator, we use the Kalman filter to estimate the bias sensor error. Based on the simulation results, steady-state tracking errors are improved.

Due to their relatively high height, they are one of the most vulnerable parts of the transmission line against lightning strikes. In this paper, we have tried to model the transient state of power and lightning network equipment using EMTP-RV software. Different lightning strikes on the tower and the phase conductor for a 400 kV double-circuit transmission line to be clay. To achieve this goal, an attempt was made to use the precision modeling mode of each network equipment, also since in recent years, the use of GIS substation has been considered due to the smaller space required for the construction of this type of substation and one of the main causes of equipment failure is this type of substation. Fast transient Overvoltages. Because the transmission line leads to a 400 kV GIS substation, an attempt has been made to model the substation equipment for this type of overvoltage on substation equipment and insulation coordination. It should also be examined.

In contrast to electromagnetic waves, which are highly attenuated in water, acoustic waves can propagate long distances in underwater environments. For this reason, sound waves are used in water in much the same way that electromagnetic waves are used in the atmosphere to sense the environment and communicate. Hence, there is SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) instead of radar, acoustic communication instead of radio, and acoustic imaging and tomography instead of microwave or optical imaging or x ray tomography. Underwater acoustics is the science of sound in water (most commonly in the ocean) and encompasses not only the study of sound propagation, but also the masking of sound signal by interfering phenomenon and the signal processing for extracting these signals from interference. This paper reviews the latest advances on underwater acoustics, specifically underwater acoustic communication and wave propagation.

In such probabilistic methods, the failure probability of an event as root events must be obtained. Reliability Data handbook database can be used to obtain the failure probability of the events. However, in some case, there is no data about the failure probability of event. In such a case, expert judgment using fuzzy set theory and its extensions are utilized as an alternative in order to deal with the subjective uncertainty. However, the common existing expert judgment approaches still suffer from the logical lack of reliability in the experts' opinions elicitation procedure. This paper analyzes the use of fuzzy set theory and its extensions in safety and reliability analysis as well as discussing how they suffer from lack of reliability As a result, it should make researchers in that situation deeply think about finding out of a better alternative using experts' judgment-based methods.

The present study aims to measure and statistically analyze the pedestrian crossing speed according to the weather conditions, which is either normal or rainy. In order to do this, the crossing speed of 4381 pedestrians has been gathered through the photography of two signalized intersections in Rasht city. Furthermore, these findings have been analyzed through the Independent Sample T-Test. The results show that, with a 95 per cent confidence, in both gender groups of men and women, the difference in the pedestrian speed according to the weather conditions of either normal or rainy is statistically meaningful and the pedestrian crossing speed was significantly more in the times of rain than in normal weather conditions. Meanwhile, in Rain Condition s, the 15 th percentile crossing speeds for men and women increase 3.0 per cent and 21.5 per cent according to 15 th percentile speeds in the normal weather conditions respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that the pedestrian speed in the normal weather conditions be regarded as the base for designing, so that the 15 th percentile crossing speeds and the average of all samples in the Rain Condition are 1.05 and 1.24 meter per second successively.

The direct model reference adaptive control (MRAC) method is used to control uncertain systems using controllers that are adapted to achieve a performance close to a reference model. However, these controllers maintain system stability and provide close tracking of the reference model response. In this paper, we intend to address the problem of unknown sensor bias matching by adjusting the direct reference model adaptive control for state-feedback for state-tracking (SFST). Also, to obtain an asymptotic stable bias sensor estimator, we use the Kalman filter to estimate the bias sensor error. Based on the simulation results, steady-state tracking errors are improved.

Due to their relatively high height, they are one of the most vulnerable parts of the transmission line against lightning strikes. In this paper, we have tried to model the transient state of power and lightning network equipment using EMTP-RV software. Different lightning strikes on the tower and the phase conductor for a 400 kV double-circuit transmission line to be clay. To achieve this goal, an attempt was made to use the precision modeling mode of each network equipment, also since in recent years, the use of GIS substation has been considered due to the smaller space required for the construction of this type of substation and one of the main causes of equipment failure is this type of substation. Fast transient Overvoltages. Because the transmission line leads to a 400 kV GIS substation, an attempt has been made to model the substation equipment for this type of overvoltage on substation equipment and insulation coordination. It should also be examined.

In contrast to electromagnetic waves, which are highly attenuated in water, acoustic waves can propagate long distances in underwater environments. For this reason, sound waves are used in water in much the same way that electromagnetic waves are used in the atmosphere to sense the environment and communicate. Hence, there is SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) instead of radar, acoustic communication instead of radio, and acoustic imaging and tomography instead of microwave or optical imaging or x ray tomography. Underwater acoustics is the science of sound in water (most commonly in the ocean) and encompasses not only the study of sound propagation, but also the masking of sound signal by interfering phenomenon and the signal processing for extracting these signals from interference. This paper reviews the latest advances on underwater acoustics, specifically underwater acoustic communication and wave propagation.

In such probabilistic methods, the failure probability of an event as root events must be obtained. Reliability Data handbook database can be used to obtain the failure probability of the events. However, in some case, there is no data about the failure probability of event. In such a case, expert judgment using fuzzy set theory and its extensions are utilized as an alternative in order to deal with the subjective uncertainty. However, the common existing expert judgment approaches still suffer from the logical lack of reliability in the experts' opinions elicitation procedure. This paper analyzes the use of fuzzy set theory and its extensions in safety and reliability analysis as well as discussing how they suffer from lack of reliability As a result, it should make researchers in that situation deeply think about finding out of a better alternative using experts' judgment-based methods.

The present study aims to measure and statistically analyze the pedestrian crossing speed according to the weather conditions, which is either normal or rainy. In order to do this, the crossing speed of 4381 pedestrians has been gathered through the photography of two signalized intersections in Rasht city. Furthermore, these findings have been analyzed through the Independent Sample T-Test. The results show that, with a 95 per cent confidence, in both gender groups of men and women, the difference in the pedestrian speed according to the weather conditions of either normal or rainy is statistically meaningful and the pedestrian crossing speed was significantly more in the times of rain than in normal weather conditions. Meanwhile, in Rain Condition s, the 15 th percentile crossing speeds for men and women increase 3.0 per cent and 21.5 per cent according to 15 th percentile speeds in the normal weather conditions respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that the pedestrian speed in the normal weather conditions be regarded as the base for designing, so that the 15 th percentile crossing speeds and the average of all samples in the Rain Condition are 1.05 and 1.24 meter per second successively.
