Especially for drought periods, the higher the accuracy of reservoir inflow forecasting, the 9 more reliable the water supply from a dam. The article focuses on probabilistic forecasting of 10 seasonal inflow to reservoirs and determines estimates from the probabilistic seasonal inflow 11 according to drought forecast results. The probabilistic seasonal inflow was forecasted by a copula12 based...

Performance of software projects can be improved by providing predictions of various project characteristics. The predictions warn managers with information about potential problems and provide them with the possibility to prevent or avoid problems. Large software projects are characterized by a large number of factors that impact the project performance, which makes predicting project characte...

The objective of this study was to analyze the density and distribution of the bivalve Anomalocardia brasiliana in beaches in the estuarine region of the semiarid in Rio Grande do Norte State, Barra and Pernambuquinho (04°56.978'S and 37°08.961'W and 04°56.792'S and 37°09.375'W, respectively). Samples were collected monthly during 37 months using five transects (300 m long and 400 m apart) laid...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inflow jet characteristics may be related to aneurysmal bleb formation and rupture. We investigated the visualization threshold on the basis of the flow velocity in the parent artery to classify the inflow jet patterns observed on 4D flow MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-seven unruptured aneurysms (24 bifurcation and 33 sidewall aneurysms) were subjected to 4D fl...

A field-scale data collection plan to monitor and evaluate the performance of a sediment basin design was developed and implemented using portable automatic stormwater samplers, flow modules, a rain gauge, and inflow weirs. The design configuration consisted of a skimmer as the primary dewatering device, three coir baffles installed inside the basin, polyacrylamide flocculant blocks and ditch c...

Radial inflow turbines are the preferred architecture for energy extraction from the organic Rankine cycle and the supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle at smaller scales. For such turbines it is possible for fluid to be delivered to the first stage by either a volute or plenum delivery system. For high pressure supercritical CO2 turbines, there are no fully documented fluid delivery systems in liter...

Turbulent non-homogenous flow environments at high-energy tidal sites lead to variation in power performance of stream turbines. In addition, non-uniform loading due combined effects shear and elevated inflow turbulence affects device survivability. the current study, an active-grid generator is used mimic sheared-turbulent representative flood (low shear) ebb tides (high shear). The near-wake ...
