Federal, State and local water supply, regulatory, and planning agencies require easy-touse, technically-defensible, decision-support (DS) applications that can evaluate impacts of proposed water withdrawals, determine baseline streamflow conditions needed for sustainability of aquatic habitat, and estimate inflows to drinking-water-supply reservoirs for safe yield analyses at ungaged locations...

It is important to forecast the pedestrian flows for organizing crowd activities and making risk assessments. In this article, the daily pedestrian flows in the Tiananmen Square are forecasted based on historical data, the distribution of holidays and weather conditions including rain, wind, temperature, relative humidity, and AQI (Air Quality Index). Three different methods have been discussed...

In low-collisionality plasmas, anisotropic heat conduction due to a magnetic field leads to buoyancy instabilities for any nonzero temperature gradient. We study analogous instabilities in degenerate collisional plasmas, i.e., when the electron collision frequency is large compared to the electron cyclotron frequency. Although heat conduction is nearly isotropic in this limit, the small residua...

Abstract Thermospheric waves occurring around the time of the 14 July 2000 solar flare were investigated using the Global Ionosphere and Thermosphere Model. The simulation results showed that extensive acoustic and gravity waves were excited by the solar flare in the subsolar region. The subsolar buoyancy period at 400 km altitude was approximately 16 min. Gravity waves with frequencies lower t...

Disaggregated sequences that are statistically similar to observed streamflow records are very useful for analyzing multi reservoir operation policies and river basin management. There is renewed interest in disaggregation methods as climate related issues (regional ENSO forecasts or downscaling of Climate Change Scenarios) have come to the fore. Disaggregated streamflow should preserve statist...
