monitoring and evolution of drought is the first step in any drought management system. in this study, evaluation of a new indexa new method is provided to monitor the severity of drought with remote sensing combined drought index (rcdi). the index is based on the fact that drought is a natural phenomenon caused by a combination of various factors such as a shortage in the amount of precipitati...

Proper design and operation of monitoring systems for water resources management is one of themost important issues of water quality and quantity and accuracy and adequacy of data. The properevaluation of these data has a determining role in the correctand consistent decisions in the areacovered by the system. Therefore, determining proper distribution and number of monitoringnetwork stations a...

O ne of the key topics and the most important tools to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each organization and company is the evaluation the performance of organizational activities that rating and ranking follows the internal and external goals. In this regard insurance companies similarly are looking for evaluation of their branches through scoring, ...

A previously proposed technique for on-line monitoring of program control flow is extensively evaluated in the paper. This technique, which employs an external monitor, is briefly described. The performance evaluation was carried out in a specially designed simulation environment that can inject artificial faults according to the single bit-flip model. The faults were injected in the processor ...

for the performance improvement and higher flexibility in irrigation networks, applications of automatic systems are expanding and on evaluation of their success for achieving the objectives are essential and necessary. considering various equipment, algorithms, and their applications at different levels of irrigation networks, the performance of automatic systems is a function of the performan...

background although there is a general agreement on the benefits of evidence informed health policy development given resource constraints especially in low-income countries (lics), the definition of what evidence is, and what evidence is suitable to guide decision-making is still unclear. our study is contributing to filling this knowledge gap. we aimed to explore health policy actors’ views r...

objectives the main objective of this study was to design and construct an optical device to determine the rbv in patients undergoing hemodialysis, during the process. materials and methods after initial studies in order to select a proper sensor, using the orcad software, an analog circuit was designed. the implementation and modification of the circuit was done by the clinical tests, using ex...
