The Upper Trinity River Basin (TRB) is the most populated river basin and one of the largest water suppliers in Texas. However, sediment and nutrient loads are reducing the capacity of reservoirs and degrading water quality. The objectives of this study are to calibrate and validate the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for ten study watersheds within the Upper TRB in order to assess ...

A method of employing high-resolution mass spectrometry in combination with in vivo metabolite deuterium labeling was developed in this study to investigate the effects of alcohol exposure on lipid homeostasis at the white adipose tissue (WAT)-liver axis in a mouse model of alcoholic fatty liver. In order to differentiate the liver lipids synthesized from the fatty acids that were transported b...

In the United States, many state and federally funded conservation programs are required to quantify the water quality benefits resulting from their efforts. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of conservation practices subsidized by the Oklahoma Conservation Commission on phosphorus and sediment loads to Lake Wister. Conservation practices designed to increase vegetative ...

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the possibilities of using sub-basin data for calibration of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model in a small ungauged basin (46 ha) and its response. This small basin was located in the viticultural Anoia-Penedès region (north-east Spain), which suffers severe soil erosion. The data sources were: daily weather data from an observatory locat...

In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for assigning sensors and weapons to targets in the dynamic environment, where sensors, weapons, and targets are allowed to move freely (but predictably) over a certain region of a battlefield. In addition, we determine when such an assignment should be executed. This new algorithm for Sensors/Weapons And Targets pairings is named SWAT. In SWAT the opt...

The Donghe basin is one of the typical regions with serious water and soil erosion in Kaixian county of China. In this study the spatial distribution variation of soil erosion in Donghe basin is analyzed based on a comprehensive method that integrates SWAT model with a Geographic Information System and remote sensing technologies and the effects of land use changes on soil erosion is also analy...

Recently, a manuscript was published with the objective to complete a multivariable and multisite calibration and validation for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model on the Motueka River basin by Cao et al. (2006). Physically based distributed parameter models, such as SWAT, have become a preferred tool to predict watershed response not only at the watershed outlet, but also at inter...
