This study investigates the geochemistry of oil shales from the Ab Kaseh section in western Kohrang, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran. Ten shale samples were collected for geochemical analyses, including Rock-Eval pyrolysis and XRF/ICP analyses. Ten thin sections were also prepared for petrographic analysis. A stratigraphic column and depos...

Measuring small flow rates often requires expensive equipment and is associated with inherent limitations. In practice, various measuring structures, such as weirs, are commonly constructed at specific locations to facilitate flow measurements. This paper proposes an innovative and low-cost measurement structure made from sewer pipes, incorporating...

It presents a dynamic model of inventory management of the deteriorating items with time-sensitive demand and variable holding costs. The model is used to solve the problem in industries where demand is seasonal or because of other external conditions, like weather or market conditions. A two-tier inventory model is implemented as a way of minimizi...
