At present, no practical methodology exists for routine prediction of stream meander migration and uncertainty concerning the level of risk to infrastructure remains unacceptably high. This paper describes a Handbook that includes ArcView 3.2-based Bend Measurement and Channel Migration Predictor extensions, which provides a practical methodology to transportation engineers, floodplain managers...

A previously unknown intrinsic nonlinearity of standard fractionalsynthesizers is identified. A general analytical model for fractionalphased-locked loops (PLLs) that includes the effect of the nonlinearity is derived and an improvement to the synthesizer topology is discussed. Also, a new methodology for behavioral simulation is presented: the proposed methodology is based on an object-oriente...

We present a new methodology for designing modulo 2"+1 adders with operands in the diminished-one number system. The proposed methodology leads lo parallel-prejix adder implementations. Both an analytical model and V U 1 implementations in a standard-cell technology are utilized for comparing the adders designed following the proposed methodology against the existing solutions. Our results indi...

Software based polarimetric image generation models and hardware based infrared scene projectors commonly utilize analytical forms of polarized bi-directional reflectance distribution function and emission models. Many of these models are based in first principles physical concepts, but in practice are configured as least error fits to measured signatures. The resulting analytical model may wel...

In this paper, a simulation-based optimisation methodology is presented for the joint design and planning of globalised supply chains under cost and CO2 emissions minimisation objectives. The aim of this work is to investigate whether or not, and how, the critical decisions and insights – that derive from the respective analytical optimisation process – change, as their critical assumptions e.g...

Power consumption of multimedia applications executing on embedded cores is heavily dependent on data transfers between system memory and processing units. The purpose of this paper is to extend an existing power optimizing methodology based on data-reuse decisions, in order to determine the optimal solution in a rapid and reliable way. An analytical approach is proposed by extracting expressio...

Flow injection analysis instrumentation and methodology for the determination of ammonia and ammonium ions in an aqueous solution are described. Using in-line solid phase basification beds containing crystalline media. the speciation of ammoniacal nitrogen is shifted toward the un-ionized form. which diffuses in the gas phase across a hydrophobic microporous hollow fiber membrane into a pure-wa...

This paper proposes a new design methodology for discrete multi-pumped Raman amplifier. In a multi-objective optimization scenario, in a first step the whole solution-space is inspected by a CW analytical formulation. Then, the most promising solutions are fully investigated by a rigorous numerical treatment and the Raman amplification performance is thus determined by the combination of analyt...

In this study, an analytical methodology based on a combination of dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction with laser-induced breakdown spectrometry was evaluated for simultaneous pre-concentration, speciation and detection of Cr. The microextraction procedure was based on the injection of appropriated quantities of 1-undecanol and ethanol into a sample solution containing the complexes formed...

This article presents the methodology of the Italian Total Diet Study 2012-2014 aimed at assessing the dietary exposure of the general Italian population to selected nonessential trace elements (Al, inorganic As, Cd, Pb, methyl-Hg, inorganic Hg, U) and radionuclides (40K, 134Cs, 137Cs, 90Sr). The establishment of the TDS food list, the design of the sampling plan, and details about the collecti...
