Multiobjective reliability-redundancy allocation problem (MORRAP) needs to maximize system reliability and minimize cost, weight, and volume with underlining constraints.In the systems’ design and analysis phase, uncertainties can occur from various sources, such as manufacturing variability, environmental conditions, user behavior, etc.To d
A Model for the Formation of Niobium Structures by anodization
The fluoride use for anodizing electrolytes has been primarily responsible for the formation of nanoporous oxides at valve metals, except aluminum, since it causes a dissolution process.This study presents the formation of an oxide model according to the following anodizing parameters: 100 V, 12.73 mA/cm2, room temperature and the niobium samples a
Developing Climate Risk Assessments for World Heritage: the Climate Vulnerability Index
Climate change is recognised by ICOMOS and the IUCN as the fastest ferm living hoop growing threat to World Heritage (WH) properties.The Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) was first piloted at the Natural WH property of Shark Bay, Western Australia, in 2018; the first application to a Cultural WH property took place in April 2019 at the Heart of Neo
A comparative study of the saproxylic diversity of a natural and a reforested forest in Morocco: Implications for conservation and ecosystem management
Moroccan forest ecosystems are rich in biodiversity.However, they are threatened by deforestation.To reduce this, the country has adopted ultra violette lip balm plans involving reforestation.This study compares the diversity of saproxylic litter beetles in two forests in the province of El Jadida, Morocco: the natural Haouzia matorral and the refo
