In this paper relationships for resistance and trim of planning Catamarans in calm water are presented. This work is based on Savitsky empirical method for monohull planning crafts. According to the present method, a computer software is developed for calculation of resistance and trim of a Catamaran in different speeds. Moreover, the effects of different factors such as displacement, longitudinal center of gravity, deadrise angle, length to beam ratio, distance between demihulls are studied. The investigation of these factors can be very useful in preliminary design for designers and initial assessments of the craft.

Introduction: For evidence based decision-making and designing more accurate health system planes for effective prevention on drug dependency, incidence rate and time trend of number of new cases are necessary. This survey was conducted based on data of Kerman drug detoxification agencies in order to determine the time trend of incidence rate of opioid dependency and the effects of various factors on lag time (the time between onset of substance use and first treatment request). Method: In this retrospective cohort study, 4309 opioid users visiting Kerman Welfare Organization between 1997 and 2004 were analyzed. Subgroups were shaped according to the first year of consumption. Estimated incidence of addiction was determined by using backward calculation method. The Effect of various factors on lag time was calculated by multivariable regression method. Results: Relative incidence of addiction between 1997 and 1999 was increased by 70% annually, followed by a slightly decrease to 540 persons in 2000. The minimum estimated number was seen in 2003 (400 cases) and it peaked to the maximum in the next year (1145 cases). The average of lag time was 7.98±6.47 years with median 6 years. The lag time of opium users was 7.81±6.48 and for opium syrup – a liquid prepared from the ashes of smoked opium – users was 8.32±6.17 years (p=0.001). Individuals who have consumed both opium and opium syrup simultaneously, had a more lag (p=0.0001). Men with lag time of 8.1±6.41 years, had a significant longer lag time than women (7.05± 6.78 years).In compare with cases with 20-30 ages (7.86±6.38 years) and cases older than 30 years (7.7±6.44 years), the lag time for persons less than 20 years old (8.62± 6.68 years) was significantly more (p=0.0001). The lag time for illiterates (10.73±7.59 years) was more than cases with academic education (7.87±7.27 years). The lag time for married persons (8.87±6.8 years) was significantly more than singles (4.9±3.76 years). Conclusion: Time trend of addiction can be divided into two parts in recent years. First part is from 1997 to 1999; in this period the number of new cases of addiction increased but from 2000 to 2002 it is fairly constant. Some factors such as being women, younger, more literate, single and simply opium users have a negative correlation with lag time.

The dynamic Systems behaviours are investigating using the fourier tansform of data, the puankaveh surfaces, Iyapunov exponents calculations and attractor diemsion Study in phazzy space.At the among of mentioned methods, the Iyapunov exponents calculations are suitable method Contrary to the Iyapunov exponents calculations for the existing equation of the behavioures of the systems, the using of the mentioned method for the laboratory investigations is very difficult. In this work, the Iynpunov exponent calculation estimated using Eckmonn method.

Design of structures under impulsive loads is usually accomplished through nonlinear inelastic dynamic analysis followed by implementing acceptance criteria of the nonlinear analysis specified in design codes. Nonlinear dynamic analyses inherently consist of convergence and computational effort problems. In this research, the capacity modification factors of steel moment-resisting frames' members are calculated in order to simplify the design of the structures subjected to impulsive loading. Capacity modification factors are proposed for different loading conditions that provide a design procedure to perform the linear dynamic analysis, instead of the time consuming nonlinear dynamic analysis. Herein, an algorithm is proposed to calculate the capacity modification factors as an inverse problem. Firstly, a designed structure is nonlinearly analyzed under impulsive load; then, the structure is checked whether the acceptance criteria are satisfied. For a steel frame structure, story drifts should be restricted to 1/14 of story height; a chord rotation of the members should be restricted to 2 degree. Secondly, if the acceptance criteria are satisfied with minimal tolerance, the structure with the accepted properties is linearly analyzed; otherwise, the structure should be redesigned to reach the desirable condition. Results of the linear analysis are checked by ASCE41-13 acceptance criteria for the linear analyses. These acceptance criteria control demand and capacity moments for a beam, demand and capacity axial force, and moment interaction of columns such that the capacity modification factors are involved in both of them as unknown variables. Thirdly, the capacity modification factors are calculated for each member using the formulations presented for the acceptance criteria of the linear analyses. Here, a portal frame is used as a representative of entire moment-resisting frame to evaluate different types of loading (magnitude and condition). Three loading conditions are defined to mobilize three deformation modes consisting of lateral, gravity, and lateral-gravity modes. The first mode includes laterally distributed and concentrated loads on the left column and downward loads on the beam; the second mode only includes downward loads on the beam; the third mode only includes laterally distributed and concentrated loads on the left column. Finally, many capacity modification factors are attained for every member of a steel moment-resisting frame. These data should be processed by statistical relations to obtainfirm results for the main members of the structure. The capacity modification factors are herein calculated for four member groups including roof beams, internal beams, external columns, and internal columns. Results demonstrate that external columns exposed to direct impulsive loads are not ductile as much as internal columns. In other words, internal columns can go beyond the linear limits more than external ones. The roof beams have lower ductility than the internal beams. The reason is the directly imposed impulsive load on their span. Therefore, the calculated factors can be used for new acceptance criteria that need linear dynamic analysis. The proposed procedure leads to avoidance of performing the complicated nonlinear analysis under impulsive loading, while acceptance criteria of nonlinear analyses are satisfied by employing linear dynamic analysis. In addition, this development reduces computational efforts and can be extended for future design codes.
