Analysis of the Case of Fire Fighters Casualties in the Building Collapse
Abstract Using the “2-4” model of behavior safety to study the cause of the fire fighters sacrifice caused by the building collapse since 2003, the direct cause of deaths lies in unsafe act and the unsafe state of the material. To analyze further,...

Morphometry and pattern of a large sample (>20,000) of Canadian eskers and implications for subglacial drainage beneath ice sheets
Abstract Ice sheet flow is strongly influenced by the nature and quantity of meltwater entering the subglacial system. Accessing and monitoring contemporary drainage systems beneath ice sheets is notoriously difficult, but it is possible to utilise...

Decadal trend and interannual variation of outflow of aerosols from East Asia: Roles of variations in meteorological parameters and emissions
Abstract We apply a global three-dimensional Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to quantify the decadal trend and interannual variation of aerosol outflow from East Asia. Simulations of aerosols are performed...

Climate service development, delivery and use in Europe at monthly to inter-annual timescales
Abstract Climate services have become the focus of major international coordination activities over the past few years. In 2012 the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) was approved and will be led by several United Nations Agencies, to...

Prediction of rock brittleness using nondestructive methods for hard rock tunneling
Abstract The material and elastic properties of rocks are utilized for predicting and evaluating hard rock brittleness using artificial neural networks (ANN). Herein hard rock brittleness is defined using Yagiz' method. A predictive model is...

Unconditionally Convergent Nonlinear Solver for Multiphase Flow in Porous Media under Viscous Force, Buoyancy, and Capillarity
Abstract Numerical simulations of multiphase flow in porous media often face convergence difficulties in the nonlinear Newton solver, including erratic time stepping, large number of (Newton) iterations, and timestep cuts. Such convergence problems...

Remnants of Early Archean Impact Deposits on Earth: Search for a Meteoritic Component in the BARB5 and CT3 Drill Cores (Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa)
Abstract The first 2.5 billion years of the terrestrial impact history are not documented by any impact structures. Only a few spherule layers of impact origin are known, most of them of late Archean to early Proterozoic age. In the Barberton...
