New efficient methods to calculate watersheds

چکیده
We present an advanced algorithm for the determination of watershed lines on Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), which is based on the iterative application of Invasion Percolation (IIP) . The main advantage of our method over previosly proposed ones is that it has a sub-linear time-complexity. This enables us to process systems comprised of up to 10 sites in a few cpu seconds. Using our algorithm we are able to demonstrate, convincingly and with high accuracy, the fractal character of watershed lines. We find the fractal dimension of watersheds to be Df = 1.211± 0.001 for artificial landscapes, Df = 1.10± 0.01 for the Alpes and Df = 1.11± 0.01 for the Himalaya. PACS numbers: 05.45.Df, 64.60.ah, 91.10.Jf New efficient methods to calculate watersheds 2

Some Modifications to Calculate Regression Coefficients in Multiple Linear Regression
In a multiple linear regression model, there are instances where one has to update the regression parameters. In such models as new data become available, by adding one row to the design matrix, the least-squares estimates for the parameters must be updated to reflect the impact of the new data. We will modify two existing methods of calculating regression coefficients in multiple linear regres...

متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Correlation of Vapor Pressure of Gaseous Compounds Containing C-H-O
Prediction of available vapor pressure data in the case of compounds containing C-H-O led to derivations and recommendations of standard equations for this property. The accuracy of vapor pressure estimations is essential to use as a basis to calculate acentric factor, thermal and equilibrium properties. In this study, according to the previous work, an accurate equation to estimate vapor press...

Estimation of flood hydrograph is of necessities in hydrological studies such as flood mitigation projects. This estimation in un-gauged watersheds is usually taken place using geomorphological characteristics of watersheds. The objective of this research is to estimate synthetic unit hydrograph using regional flood frequency analysis and geomorphological parameters of watersheds. 1-hour and 2-...
