there is different methods for simulating river flow. some of thesemethods such as the process based hydrological models need multiple input data and high expertise about the hydrologic process. but some of the methods such as the regression based and artificial inteligens modelsare applicable even in data scarce conditions. this capability can improve efficiency of the hydrologic modeling in u...

Since fluid dynamics plays a critical role in vascular remodeling, quantification of the hemodynamics is crucial to gain more insight into this complex process. Better understanding of vascular development can improve prediction of the process, and may eventually even be used to influence the vascular structure. In this study, a methodology to quantify hemodynamics and network structure of deve...

The last decade or so has witnessed rather dramatic increases in the flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) to the developing countries of the world. However, the balance of evidence seems to point in one direction, the inflow has been uneven. Middle-income developing countries have benefited from this upsurge at the expense of the lower-income countries. In an attempt to explore the two compl...

A major consequence of stent implantation is restenosis that occurs due to neointimal formation. This patho-physiologic process of tissue growth may not be completely eliminated. Recent evidence suggests that there are several factors such as geometry and size of vessel, and stent design that alter hemodynamic parameters, including local wall shear stress distributions, all of which influence t...

The science of streamgauging has evolved through the years, mainly from the experiences and innovations of its practitioners. Streamgauging procedures are standardized on the international level. However, the selection of a suitable method for flow measurement is still a fairly complex process. The advisory system for flow measurement method selection has been designed to aid the user in the se...

Pattern languages have gained widespread acceptance over the years in the design and computing communities. Thanks to the seminal work of Bjork and Holopainen they also have spread to the video game design community. In order to help game designers grasp fundamental aspects of human experiences, the author is developing a new breed of pattern language: a pattern language for experience design, ...

For the last three decades, the research into skimming flows down stepped chutes was driven by needs for better design guidelines. The skimming flow is characterised by some momentum transfer from the main stream to the recirculation zones in the shear layer developing downstream of each step edge. In the present study some physical modelling was conducted in a relatively large facility and det...

Capital flow analysis is used to investigate IS projects in a developing economy with the view that it can also be used as a diagnostic tool for understanding project success or failure and anticipating problems. The capital flow analysis is based on ecosystem theory. Cases were taken from a developing economy for further empirical understanding. Data collection was done via interviews, observa...
