Ship Collision analysis of tanker using finite element method at high and low impact velocities
Abstract: The aim of this paper presents a study of ships collision to improve crashworthiness of double side tanker ships and minimize accidental oil spills in the event of collision. Structural design of ships against collision requires prediction of the extent of damage to ship structures subjected to impact. Ship design against conventional loads such as shearing, bending and local buckling and the accidental loads requires applying different stiffening systems for …

Biopsychosocial Approach in Asthma
Abstract: The bio-psycho-social model of health and illness proposed by Eagel (1977) [P1] implies that behaviours, thought and feelings may influence a physical state. The basic principle says that the person suffers as a whole and not as isolated organs. In holistic approach to wellness, we should consider the personality, the emotional dimensions and the socio- environmental condition of the patient. As asthma is a controllable disease, the aim of asthma …
