A 10-km version of the NCEP Eta Model has been run over a roughly 1000 km x 1000 km domain centered over the upper Midwest for 20 cases where heavy warm season rainfall occurred from mesoscale convective systems to investigate the response of the precipitation forecasts to improvements in the depiction of mesoscale features at initialization time. Modifications to the initial conditions include...

Optimisation of composite flour comprising pearl millet, kidney beans and tigernut with xanthan gum was evaluated for rheological evaluations. The functional properties of the composite flour were optimized using optimal design of response surface methodology. The optimum blends, defined as blends with overall best functional characteristics were run 3 (75.956% pearl millet, 17.692% kidney bean...

The public domain Integrated Hydrologic Model (IHM) combines the EPA surface water model HSPF and the USGS groundwater model MODFLOW with near simultaneous integration and fundamentally new interpretations of vadose zone process dynamics. The two model components are concurrently run, linked through an interface that provides a surfacewater to groundwater transition that maintains strict water ...

Treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. The various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. Based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...

T. Schlichter and L. Montes (eds.), Forests in Development: A Vital Balance, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-2576-8_5, © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract South American tree plantations expand at a rate of 5,000 km 2 /year favored by increasingly globalized markets and local economic conditions. The main hydrological impacts of these plantations involve shifts in (a) the partition of p...

Abstract To improve the rotation efficiency of amphibious aircraft on water surface, CFD technology is used to simulate maneuverable motion in this paper. The numerical calculations direct navigation, oblique towing, no drift angle rotating arm motion, navigation with rudder, and planar are carried out, respectively. hydrodynamic derivatives such as position derivative, coupling rudder added ma...

River Bank Filtration is a water treatment technique that consists of bring out from river by pumping wells located in the nearby aquifer. It Aquifer Recharge which surface treated through aquifer medium. In present study an attempt made to understand impact on water, Jabalpur city Madhya Pradesh. The geological conditions, well types, cost saving coagulant and physical, chemical biological eff...
