analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. this paper compares the performance of chaos theory with anfis model and discusses ...

T his study investigates the effects of extra-ECOWAS merchandise trade and investment flows on the transmission of business cycles in the selected ECOWAS between 1985 and 2014.  The study finds that total trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) significantly influence the transmission of business cycles with elasticities of 1.1 and 0.7, respectively in the long run. There are little vari...

Sharing information between multiple parties in a multi-modal logistics chain can potentially improve coordination within the chain. However, information sharing also requires the participation and collaboration of multiple parties whose goals are not always aligned with each other. This paper describes experiences from the ongoing implementation of a Logistics Hub system for a transport supply...

Abstract This study investigates the use of Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission's (TRMM) rainfall data for predicting water flows and flood events in three catchments on island Java, Indonesia, namely, Ciliwung, Citarum Bengawan Solo. The Shetran model was used rainfall-runoff simulations, with input obtained from measured rain gauges (hourly daily) TRMM (3-hourly daily). daily Nash Sutcliffe...

Traffic congestion and its associated environmental effects pose a significant problem for large cities. Consequently, promoting and investing in green travel modes such as cycling is high on the agenda for many transport authorities. In order to target investment in cycling infrastructure and improve the experience of cyclists on the road, it is important to know where they are. Unfortunately,...

Interactions and exchanges between surface water, groundwater, the atmosphere are some of most relevant functions that regulate environmental characteristics in wetlands. These depend on attributes such as topography, geological-geomorphological setting and, case coastal wetlands, relationship with tidal flows. The aim this work is to analyse water flows different landscape units wetland plain ...

Public organizations produce daily a great volume of administrative documents, in order to fulfill their mission. This requires the use of a certain, unique for each procedure, legal framework. This article adopts a process oriented approach, through a web-based knowledge management system that provides this legal framework in an up-to-date and accurate manner. The system also supports the inte...

The discovery of relevant knowledge resources is a remaining problem in large enterprises, where the same problems are often addressed in different locations. In this paper, we propose an enabling infrastructure, which can succcessfully help in discovering personally relevant learning resources (e. g. electronic documents, colleagues, seminars). By using our mobile gotchi framework (MGF), match...
