According to the 5th assessment report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), temperature is projected rise over 21st century under all assessed emissions scenarios while precipitation will likely decrease, thus reducing renewable surface water and groundwater resources in most dry subtropical regions such as Morocco. Moreover, projections global circulation models predict a dryer...

Abstract The flood regimes have been changing due to the climate change and human activities. Evaluating risk under nonstationarity is critical water resource management authorities in disaster reduction. In this study, annual maximum streamflow (AMS) was used analyze frequency Hanjiang River (HJR) Basin. A Generalized Additive Model for Location, Scale Shape (GAMLSS) employed characterize AMS ...

Abstract In this study, the artificial neural network (ANN) method was applied to investigate impacts of climate change on water quantity and quality Qu'Appelle River in Saskatchewan, Canada. First, second-generation Canadian earth system model (CanESM2) adopted predict future conditions. The Statistical DownScaling Model (SDSM) then downscale generated data. To analyze river, concentrations di...

A species of the beryciform fish genus Hoplopteryx, collected from rocks of Turonian Age in the Pool Creek Member of the Carlile Shale Formation, is described from the fossil record of South Dakota for the first time. The specimens are part of the Bishop Collection, now housed in the repository at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM). Despite their geographic distance from the...

When software distributed shared memory (SDSM) systems provide multithreading to exploit cluster of symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs), a challenge is how to preserve memory consistency in a thread-safe way, which is known as ‘‘atomic page update problem’’. In this paper, we show that this problem can be solved by creating two independent access paths to a physical page and by assigning different...
