within the climate change debate and its probable impacts on water resources systems, design and operation of management plans based on the assumption of stationary hydrology may cause serious challenge to accurately predict future supplies. therefore this case study is trying to assess trend in hydroclimatic variables of karkheh rivers upstream by applying modified mann-kendall trend test on l...

Security of networked computing systems has become increasingly paramount. The daily function of society hinges on the safe and reliable operation of these infrastructures. The detection of attack traffic on network infrastructures necessitates experimentation on accurately modeled emulations. In this research, a model of the Abilene topology was created using the DETERlab testbed. Network traf...

Twice daily peak expiratory flow measurements were obtained at home from 65 asthmatic children and 34 non-asthmatic controls, and a measure of the daily variation in peak expiratory flow was calculated for each child (mean daily variation). Children aged less than 7.5 years appeared unable to provide reproducable peak expiratory flows, but above that age the mean of the mean daily variations wa...

Current urban water management practices aim to remove stormwater and wastewater efficiently from urban areas. An alternative approach is to consider stormwater and wastewater as a potential resource substitute for a portion of the water imported via the reticulated supply system. A holistic view of urban water resources provides the framework for the evaluation of the demand for water supply, ...

Alternative forms of neural networks have been applied to forecast daily river flows on a continuous basis with the purpose of understanding how recent architectures like ANFIS, GRNN and RBF compare with traditional FFBP when monsoon-fed rivers involving significant statistical bias are involved. The forecasts are made at a location called Rajghat along river Narmada in India. Division of yearl...

Satellite-based precipitation estimates with high spatial and temporal resolution and large areal coverage provide a potential alternative source of forcing data for hydrological models in regions where conventional in situ precipitation measurements are not readily available. The La Plata basin in South America provides a good example of a case where the use of satellite-derived precipitation ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of DRAINMOD /DRAINMOD-N on an experimental drainage field at Southeast Purdue Agricultural Center (SEPAC), based on the comparison between observed and predicted subsurface drain flows and nitrate-nitrogen losses via drainage. The site was under conventional drainage management, consisting of two replications of three tile drain spacings—5m, ...

Cavitation is an intricate multiphase phenomenon that interplays with turbulence in fluid flows. It exhibits clear duality in characteristics, being both destructive and beneficial in our daily lives and industrial processes. Despite the multitude of occurrences of this phenomenon, highly dynamic and multiphase cavitating flows have not been fundamentally well understood in guiding the effort t...

An established rainfall-streamflow modelling methodology employing a six-parameter unit hydrograph-based rainfall-runoff model structure is developed further to give an improved model-fit to daily flows for the River Teifi at Glan Teifi. It is shown that a previous model of this type for the Teifi, which (a) accounted for 85% of the variance in observed streamflow, (b) incorporated a pure time ...
