Forecasting Natural Gas Demand Using Meteorological Data: Neural Network Method
The need for prediction and patterns of gas consumption especially in the cold seasons is essential for consumption management and policy planning decision making. In residential and commercial uses which account for the bulk of gas consumption in the country the effects of meteorological variables have the highest impact on consumption. In the present research four variables include daily ave...
متن کاملEvolution of the unsaturated zone testing at Yucca Mountain.
The evaluation of the Yucca Mountain site has evolved from intensive surface-based investigations in the early 1980s to current focus on testing in underground drifts. Different periods of site characterization activities and prominent issues concerning the unsaturated zone (UZ) are summarized. Data collection activities have evolved from mapping of faults and fractures to estimation of percola...
متن کاملTemporal damping effect of the Yucca Mountain fractured unsaturated rock on transient infiltration pulses
Performance assessment of the Yucca Mountain unsaturated zone (UZ) as the site for an underground repository of high-level radioactive waste relies on the crucial assumption that water percolation processes in the unsaturated zone can be approximated as a steadystate condition. Justification of such an assumption is based on temporal damping effects of several geological units within the unsatu...
متن کاملAnalysis of Vertical Velocities from BARGEN Continuous GPS Data at Yucca Mountain, Southern Nevada
We present vertical velocity results for the continuous GPS network located in the region of Yucca Mountain, southern Nevada. Based on local and regional tectonics, we hypothesize that vertical velocities at Yucca Mountain are likely to be very small. Data from the network, from May 1999 to January 2003, was processed using the GIPSY-OASIS II software, with ambiguities resolved on a line-by-lin...
متن کاملClimate Change at Yucca Mountain: Lessons from Earth History
Yucca Mountain's suitability as a nuclear waste repository stems largely from its very dry climate and deep water table (Bodvarsson et al. 1999). The facility's ultimate goal is to isolate waste materials for more than ten thousand years (Whipple 1996). And there lies a crucial question: How can we tell whether the climate and hydrologic conditions at Yucca Mountain will be stable enough beyond...
