A watershed management program is usually based on the results of watershed modeling. Accurate modeling results are decided by the appropriate parameters and input data. Precipitation is the most important input for watershed modeling. Precipitation characteristics usually exhibit significant spatial variation, even within small watersheds. Therefore, properly describing the spatial variation o...

Converting a nonlinear problem to a linear one by means of the least square fit, a nonlinear error modeling method based on measuring data is presented. Combined with an example, some key items are pointed out during modeling. The simulation results on parallel machine tool show that the model based on the method is of high accuracy and the error modeling method is correct and reliable. No matt...

a parallel hybrid system of hmm and gmm modeling techniques was implemented and used in a telephony speaker verification and identification system. spectral subtraction and weighted projection measure were used to render this system more robust against additional noise. cepstral mean subtraction method was also applied for the compensation of convolution noise due to transmission channel degrad...

over the past three decades vertical price transmission analysis has been the subject of considerable attention in applied agricultural conomics. it has been argued that the existence of asymmetric price transmission generates rents for marketing and processing agents. retail prices allegedly move faster upwards than downwards in response to farm level pricemovements. this is an important issue...

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters occurring annually in the Philippines. A call for a solution for this malady is very challenging as well as crucial to be addressed. Mapping flood hazard is an effective tool in determining the extent and depth of floods associated with hazard level in specified areas that need to be prioritized during flood occurrences. Precedent to the...

Modeling the flow curves of materials at elevated temperatures is the first step in mathematical simulation of the hot deformation processes of them. In this work a comparative study was provided to examine the capability of three different constitutive equations in modeling the hot deformation flow curves of AZ91 magnesium alloy. For this, the Arrhenius equation with strain dependent constants...

the static pull-in instability of beam-type micro-electromechanical systems is theoretically investigated. two engineering cases including cantilever and double cantilever micro-beam are considered. considering the mid-plane stretching as the source of the nonlinearity in the beam behavior, a nonlinear size-dependent euler-bernoulli beam model is used based on a modified couple stress theory, c...

in recent decades, the developments of artificial intelligence to predict hydrologic models have been widely used. in this study, the ability of artificial neural network(ann) models for modeling and predict the biological oxygen demand (bod) is located on the karun river in west iran were evaluated. to improve the simulation results, wavelet analysis was used as a hybrid model. bod index month...
