Heavy Vb‑cyclone precipitation: a transfer entropy application showcase

Zoning of Iranian Heavy Precipitation Regime

Aims & Backgrounds: One of the most important incidents of heavy precipitation is that each year there are many damages. Precipitation regimes help to identify the climate of each region. A heavy precipitation regime can help in identifying the climate of each region. Identification of these regimes is one of the most important prerequisites for environmental planning, especially water resource...

Heavy precipitation episodes and cosmic rays variation

In this paper an attempt is made to investigate the possible temporal correlation between heavy precipitation episodes and cosmic rays’ activity, on various time scales. Cosmic rays measurements are sparse and cover less extended periods than those of precipitation. Precipitation is largely influenced by local climatic and even physiographic conditions, while cosmic rays’ distribution is far mo...

Heat Transfer and Entropy

A New Approach to Simultaneously Enhancing Heavy Oil Recovery and Hindering Asphaltene Precipitation

A new chemical compound is developed at Petroleum University of Technology to enhance the recovery of the free imbibition process and simultaneously hinder asphaltene precipitation. The compound is tested on heavy oil samples from Marun oil field, Bangestan reservoir. The effects of the chemical compound on viscosity, hydrocarbon composition, and average molecular weight of the heavy oil are in...

AJHotDraw: A showcase for refactoring to aspects

Adoption of aspect-oriented techniques in existing systems is hindered by the fact that developers have difficulties adapting to a “multi-view”, concern-based reasoning over the software systems, and by a lack of reference solutions that show how to address crosscutting functionality in real-life systems. In this paper, we argue for the need of a common showcase for the adoption of aspect-orien...
