Comparison of Simple and Multimetric Diatom-based Indices for Great Lakes Coastline Disturbance(1).
Because diatom communities are subject to the prevailing water quality in the Great Lakes coastal environment, diatom-based indices can be used to support coastal-monitoring programs and paleoecological studies. Diatom samples were collected from Great Lakes coastal wetlands, embayments, and high-energy sites (155 sites), and assemblages were characterized to the species level. We defined 42 me...
متن کاملDeveloping an Integrated Simulation Model of Bayesian-networks to Estimate the Completion Cost of a Project under Risk: Case Study on Phase 13 of South Pars Gas Field Development Projects
Objective: The aim of this paper is to propose a new approach to assess the aggregated impact of risks on the completion cost of a construction project. Such an aggregated impact includes the main impacts of risks as well as the impacts of interactions caused by dependencies among them. Methods: In this study, Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian Networks methods are combined to present a frame...
متن کاملMethods for Generating Multi-scale Watershed Delineations for Indicator Development in Great Lake Coastal Ecosystems
Watersheds represent spatially explicit areas within which terrestrial stressors can be quantified and linked to measures of aquatic ecosystem condition. We delineated thousands of Great Lakes watersheds using previously proven and new watershed delineation techniques. These were used to provide summaries for a variety of anthropogenic stressors within the Great Lakes. All delineation technique...
متن کاملDeveloping A New Operation-Economic Framework for Irrigation Networks without Water Market
This study focused on proposing a new operational perspective within main and lateral irrigation canals based on the economic value of water. To achieve this objective, the operation-economic framework offered in this study consisted of two main components of the PMP model and Operation model. The estimated economic values of water in different regions of the network were employed as the starti...
متن کاملMultimetric continuous model theory
In this paper, we study metric structures with a nite number of metrics by extending the model theory developed by Ben Yaacov et al. in the monograph Model theory for metric structures. We rst de ne a metric structure with nitely many metrics, develop the theory of ultraproducts of multimetric structures, and prove some classical model-theoretic theorems about saturation for structures with mul...
