During the past 20years, Iran has been experiencing a significant increase in the occurrence of disasters mainly due to the emergence of anthropogenic climate change. This paper aims at analyzing the trend of national budget allocation in Iran over the last 100years to evaluate the focus of the Iranian state on the four phases of Preparedness,…[Read more]

Blood damage estimations were below threshold levels and achieved design requirements; however, maximum scalar stress levels were above the target limit. Radial and axial forces were less than 1 N and 10 N, respectively. The performance data trends for physical prototypes correlated with theoretical expectations. The centrifugal prototype was able…[Read more]
