hargraves-samani method is one of the methods for calculating plant evapotranspiration that needs minimum meteorological data. in order to evaluate et-hs model in determining sugar beet crop water demand in isfahan, an experiment was conducted at research field of department of agriculture, khorasgan branch, islamic azad university, isfahan, iranin 2005. the study was based a randomized complet...

The geometry of the polypeptide exit tunnel has been determined using the crystal structure of the large ribosomal subunit from Haloarcula marismortui. The tunnel is a component of a much larger, interconnected system of channels accessible to solvent that permeates the subunit and is connected to the exterior at many points. Since water and other small molecules can diffuse into and out of the...

sustainability of water supply networks should be based on the risks of water hammer phenomenon. the purpose of this study is to provide a new approach to the analysis of water hammer phenomenon in the water supply network. by conventional methods, the damage because of water hammer is estimated based on the maximum pressure at nodes. however, during this phenomenon continuation and changing of...

slope stability analysis is a geotechnical engineering problem characterized by many sources ofuncertainty. in slope stability computations, some of these sources are encountered, such as geologicaldetails missed in the exploration program, estimation of soil properties that are difficult to quantifyand many other relevant factors. therefore, accurate reproduction of the spatial variability in ...

Control of drinking water networks is an arduous task given their size and the presence of uncertainty in water demand. It is necessary to impose different constraints for ensuring a reliable water supply in the most economic and safe ways. To cope with uncertainty in system disturbances due to the stochastic water demand/consumption, and optimize operational costs, this paper proposes three st...

Water resource management is becoming increasingly challenging in northern China because of the rapid increase in water demand and decline in water supply due to climate change. We provide a case study demonstrating the importance of integrated watershed management in sustaining water resources in Chifeng City, northern China. We examine the consequences of various climate change scenarios and ...

Persistent median artery (PMA) in present cadaver originated from the brachial artery and anastomosed with the superficial palmar arch (SPA). As the PMA may be the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome and SPA is the main source of arterial supply, knowledge of which are important for the hand surgical interventions.

economic valuation of water is useful in the administration and management of water. population growth and urbanization caused municipal water demand increase in iran. limited water resource supply and urban water network capacity raised complexity in water resources management. present condition suggests using economic value of water as a criterion for allocating policies and feasibility study...
