Multivariate Flood Risk Analysis at a Watershed Scale Considering Climatic Factors

A GIS-based Flood Risk Assessment Tool: Supporting Flood Incident Management at the local scale

Artificial neural networks for electricity consumption forecasting considering climatic factors

This work develops Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models applied to predict the consumption forecasting considering climatic factors. It is intended to verify the influence of climatic factors on the electricity consumption forecasting through the ANN. The case study is applied in the Campinas city, Brazil. This work used Perceptron and Backpropagation ANN models. The specific goal is compari...

A multivariate "time based" analysis of SIDS risk factors.

AIMS To investigate the influence of analytical design on the variability of published results in studies of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). METHODS The results of a prospective case-control study, of 203 cases of SIDS, and 622 control infants are presented. All variables significant on univariate analysis were included in a multivariate model analysed in nine stages, starting with socio...

Hybrid Regional Flood Analysis in the Namak Lake Watershed

Regional Flood Frequency Analysis (RFFA) is an efficient method in flood discharge estimation in ungauged watersheds or with short-term statistics. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the hybrid method in RFFA and maximum flood discharge estimation in the Namak Lake watershed, Iran. For this purpose, 16 hydrometric stations were selected. The selected hydrometric stations were then ...

The investigation and determination the area risk of climatic comfort in Khusestan province using spatial autocorrelation pattern and multivariate analysis

Today, the impact of climate is considered on the life, health, comfort, activity and behavior in a form of the branch of science   such as human biology. Due to difference of frequency people with each other, the sensibility of every one from weather can be different from the other one that's why the climate can’t be totally undesirable or the climate can be totally desirable for all the peopl...
