The Chobe River Basin (CRB), a sub-basin of the Upper Zambezi Basin shared by Namibia and Botswana, is a complex hydrologic system that lies at the center of the world’s largest transfrontier conservation area. Despite its regional importance for livelihoods and biodiversity, its hydrology, controlled by the timing and relative contributions of water from two regional rivers, remains poorly und...

Denial of Service attacks is divided into two types, one is logic attack and the another one is flooding attack. Logic attack exploits security holl of the software such as operating system and web server bugs, then causes system crash or degrade in the performance. Logic attack can be defended by upgrading software and/or filtering particular packet sequences. Comparing each packets of the flo...

The flooding games, which are called Flood-It, Mad Virus, or HoneyBee, are a kind of coloring games and they have been becoming popular online. In these games, each player colors one specified cell in his/her turn, and all connected neighbor cells of the same color are also colored by the color. This flooding or coloring spreads on the same color cells. It is natural to consider the coloring ga...

Floodwater Aedes breeding habitats in central Kenya were sequentially flooded to determine the numbers of mosquito eggs hatching during each flooding. Approximately 90% of the larvae sampled during 4 floodings emerged during the initial flooding. The number of Aedes eggs hatching during the second flooding was lowest of all 4 floodings, and no significant differences in the amount of egg hatchi...

In this paper, the problem of flooding management using hybrid model predictive control is presented and applied to the Ebro River in Spain. The Ebro river presents flooding episodes in the city of Zaragoza during spring when snow melts in the Pyrenees. To avoid flooding in living areas, some lands outside the city are prepared to be flooded. This paper presents a control approach to determine ...

In this paper, we present the Flash flooding protocol that exploits the capture effect to produce low-latency network floods. The capture effect is the ability of some radios to correctly receive one of several concurrently transmitted messages, even if the received strengths of the two messages are almost the same. We exploit this phenomenon in a network flooding scenario by allowing nodes to ...

The North Burbank Unit, located in Osage County, was originally discovered in 1920. It has an extensive history of activity, including primary depletion, produced gas cycling, and water and polymer flooding to the point of very high water cut at current conditions. The current oil production rate in the North Burbank Unit is approximately 1,400 BOPD from 360 active wells at a water cut of 99.5%...
