This cross-sectional study compared body fat percentage (BF%) obtained from a four-compartment (4C) model with BF% from hydrometry (using 2H2O), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and densitometry among the three main ethnic groups (Chinese, Malays and Indians) in Singapore, and determined the suitability of two-compartment (2C) models as surrogate methods for assessing BF% among different ...

Earth-dam failure starts with cracking in the clay core, and this is not easy to detect prevent. Therefore, swellable a feasible solution, which helps close cracks automatically based on self-healing process. The presented study utilizes experimental procedures analyze swelling behavior of fine-grained clayey soils prevent structural regarding crack generations. In regard, materials were modifi...

Since the 1970s, Bureau of Hydrology, Changjiang Water Resources Commission has carried out research on automatic flood reporting, innovation hydrometry methods, and improvement “one station, one policy” monitoring reporting capabilities, laying a technical foundation for development hydrologic survey; construction Web-based intelligent system (“WISH” system) been out, an information survey. Th...

Observed discharge time series is essential data for hydrological analysis, streamflow forecasting, as well water resources planning and management. Estimation of continuous generally based on the curves (or empirical models) that can properly simulate relationships between levels (stages) concurrent discharges observed at a particular station. For stations with complex hydraulic conditions, in...

Satellite remote sensing has the characteristics of real-time, efficient, large amount data, wide observation range and so on, which makes up for limitations traditional ground in time space, can provide new data sources areas without data. In order to study feasibility using satellite technology liquid flow measurement, this paper studies discusses technical route obstacles discharge measureme...
