Hydrogen technologies in foundry and metallurgy: current state and perspectives (review) by M. V. Goltsova

“…With the help of hydrogen, it is possible to carry out controlled powdering of intermetallic compounds, to form nanostructures in materials, to accelerate the processes of chemical-thermal treatment, and to cause «artificial polymorphism» in metals that are not polymorphic by its nature.It is concluded that some of hydrogen technologies have already been commercialized, some are still waiting for wide use. In general, the prospects for the development of hydrogen processing of materials lie in the development of the application of metal– hydrogen systems, and international activity (in particular, schools and conferences), traditionally and regularly held on this topic, allow us to judge the intensive development of the theory and practice of hydrogen technologies.…”

Analysis of the spatial distribution of Police Stations on services to vulnerable urban areas (Case Study: Urmia City) by Ahmad Aftab, Ali Akbar Taghilo, Akbar Houshmand

“…About 68 km2 of the whole area of the city is known to be highly vulnerable.Most of the northern (informal settlements of Region 2) and central (old districts of four region) settlements of Urmia are the most vulnerable areas due to the high density of population and housing,with most of the politically sensitive, commercial and administrative offices in these areas.The results of the network analysis based on standard time (12 minutes) indicate that the 28.9% (24 km2) of the Urmia Vulnerable Areas was not covered by the police stations.Within 12 minutes the police stations of Urmia city have quick access to 55 km2 of about 75 km2 area with high vulnerability and about 20 km2 of this area also without timely access. …”
