[1] Inverse weighted distance and regression nonexact techniques were evaluated for interpolating methods snow water equivalent (SWE) across the entire Colorado River Basin of the western United States. A 1-km spacing was used for the gridding of snow telemetry (SNOTEL) measurements for the years 1993, 1998, and 1999, which on average, represented higher than average, average, and lower than av...

In seepage problems, the coefficients of permeability in Laplace equation are usually assumed to be constant vs. both space and time; but in reality these coefficients are variable. In this study, the effect of material deformation due to external loads (consolidation) and variation of head in the consolidation process are considered. For the first case, formulation of kx and ky can be defined ...

An algorithm is presented for the computation of analytical expressions for the extremal values of the α-cuts of the fuzzy weighted average, for triangular or trapeizoidal weights and attributes. Also, an algorithm for the computation of the inverses of these expressions is given, providing exact membership functions of the fuzzy weighted average. Up to now, only algorithms exist for the comput...

in this paper, least square method (lsm) and differential transformation method (dtm) are used to solve the problem of laminar nanofluid flow in a semi-porous channel in the presence of transverse magnetic field. due to existence some shortcomings in each method, a novel and efficient method named ls-dtm is introduced which omitted those defects and has an excellent agreement with numerical sol...

Let G be a given connected graph on n vertices. Suppose N facilities are located in the vertices of the graph. We consider the expected distance between two randomly chosen facilities. This is modelled by the following definition: Let G be a connected graph and let each vertex have weight c(v). The average distance of G with respect to c is defined as µ c (G) = N 2 −1 {u,v}⊆V (G) d G (u, v), wh...

A new retrieval scheme for cloud optical thickness, effective radius, and thermodynamic phase was developed for ground-based measurements of cloud shortwave solar spectral transmittance. Fifteen parameters were derived to quantify spectral variations in shortwave transmittance due to absorption and scattering of liquid water and ice clouds, manifested by shifts in spectral slopes, curvatures, m...

Abstract-A new class of quality of service (QoS) measures, EB(p), p≥1 for WDM optical transport networks is proposed in this paper. Compared with the traditional overall average blocking probability (OABP), EB(p) is a composite measure that is unbiased, makes reference to the QOS requirements, onesided, and takes the potential revenue loss into consideration. In particular, EB(1) can be identif...

The electric power quality has become a serious concern for utilities and end users owing to its undesirable effects on system capabilities performance. Harmonic levels systems have been pronounced greater extent with the continuous growth in application of solid-state reactive compensatory devices. Harmonics are key constituents that mainly responsible deterioration. Power harmonics need be co...
