A brief computational description of the Lin-Rood shallow water finite volume (SWfv) model is provided. Along side, salient features of the model are described. 4D-VAR data assimilation experiments using this model provided us avenues to study model error introduced by different high order advection schemes (such as van Leer and PPM) in the framework of 4D-variational data assimilation. This mo...

the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessities creates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) ...

We provide a strategic implementation of the sequential equal surplus division rule (Béal et al., 2014). Precisely, we design a non-cooperative mechanism of which the unique subgame perfect equilibrium payoffs correspond to the sequential equal surplus division outcome of a superadditive rooted tree TU-game. This mechanism borrowed from the bidding mechanism designed by Pérez-Castrillo and Wett...

This paper proposes a structure for utility functions that are useful when modeling and solving important classes of practical planning applications--problems that are not adequately characterized by an additive utility function, but still have some additive structure. The structure is Xu(t)*mod(t,...) where is a function of how and when a single task is completed and rood(t,...) captures the e...

In a parasitic survey of the native and introduced fishes in the Zayandehrud River, 5 Myxobolus spp. were found in the gills, fins and skin of examined fish specimens. They include M. varicorhini from fin and M. samgoricus from skin of Capoeta damascina, M. musajevi from gills of Capoeta capoeta gracilis, Myxobolus cristatus from Capoeta aculeata, and M. saidovi from Alburnus sp. Data on the lo...

So far many optimization models based on Nash Bargaining Theory associated with reservoir operation have been developed. Most of them have aimed to provide practical and efficient solutions for water allocation in order to alleviate conflicts among water users. These models can be discussed from two viewpoints: (i) having a discrete nature; and (ii) working on an annual basis. Although discrete...
