چکیده

Digital elevation models (DEM) of the four catchments were imported into E2, and subcatchment boundaries were delineated. Rainfall surfaces derived from spatial interpolation of ground-based observation data onto a 5 km x 5 km grid was pre-processed to provide a weighted average daily rainfall for each sub-catchment. Data of long term mean monthly potential evapotranspiration (PET) was also used as inputs to the rainfall-runoff models. Model parameters were determined by calibration against observed flows at stream gauging stations. Digitised landuse layers were reclassified in E2 to form three functional units (FU’s); Forest, Agriculture and Other. A second digitised landuse layer incorporating the burnt areas was imported into the model to create a ‘burnt’ scenario.

Including Health in Environmental Assessments of Major Transport Infrastructure Projects: A Documentary Analysis

Background Transport policy and practice impacts health. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are regulated public policy mechanisms that can be used to consider the health impacts of major transport projects before they are approved. The way health is considered in these environmental assessments (EAs) is not well known. This research asked: How and to what extent was human health considere...

A Feasible Solution to Distinguish the Transformer Winding Deformation from Insulation Characteristic Impacts on FRA Spectrum

Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is popular technique which has been used since the last decade as a diagnostic method for transformers. However, accurate interpretation of FRA measurements is still challenging. Recent studies reveal that apart from winding deformation, FRA data can also be influenced by moisture variation in transformer paper insulation. Hence, a specific transformer’s model ...
