abstract in general, garmesh wind in rasht province increases the temperature by 9°c and reduces relative humidity by 47%. the direction of prevailing wind during the garmesh wind is southern and its average speed increases by 2 m/s to 5 m/s. the highest frequency of garmesh wind occurs at 09 and 12 utc in december and january. the occurrence of this phenomenon substantially increases the horiz...

If time is money, then here's a definition of wealth for the 21st century: You're leaving the house for the day. You grab your things, hop into the car and back out of the garage. Then you pick up a device that looks like a four-button version of your car-lock remote control and punch a “goodbye” button. The garage door closes. Inside the house, all the exterior doors are bolted shut, all windo...

The Federation Council, the upper chamber of the Russian parliament (also referred to as the "senate,") plays a number of different roles. It is an instrument for reconciling the interests of regional and federal elites and for lobbying regional interests. It is a political tribune for regional leaders to address the president, the government and the people. It is a new kind of meeting for the ...

The following study provides a close scrutiny of the conduct of Punjabi newspapers during the Punjab Assembly Elections of 2007 and demonstrates, with the help of comparative empirical analysis of three newspapers (namely, Ajit, Jagbani and Punjabi Tribune), that the media has diluted and compromised its role as a watchdog of democracy. The study brings out that several factors have come togeth...

Entropy games and matrix multiplication games have been recently introduced by Asarin et al. They model the situation in which one player (Despot) wishes to minimize the growth rate of a matrix product, whereas the other player (Tribune) wishes to maximize it. We develop an operator approach to entropy games. This allows us to show that entropy games can be cast as stochastic mean payoff games ...

wind erosion climatic factor is a measure of climatic factors explaining the wind erosion erosivity. humidity and wind speed are climatic characteristics that must be considered as the erosion parameters. in this study, linear moment analysis (l-moments) and wind erosion climatic factor were used to evaluate the regional climate’s tendency effect on wind erosion in yazd province. wind erosion c...

in the current research, wind energy potential at yazd synoptic stations, which contain wind data with 10 years statistic period and beyond, including yazd synoptic station (1976-2006), tabass (1987-2006), robate poshte badam (1992-2006), bafgh (1993-2006) and marvast (1997-2006), has been studied. wind data were obtained from the recorded data at yazd meteorology organization. the data were re...

in order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. in fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region is due to the sensitivity of earth and domination of wind in that region. in this investigation we have tried to find a way for determining the regions in which a dust storm i...

a wind farm is a collection of wind turbines built in an area to provide electricity. wind power is a renewable energy resource and an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. in this paper impact of wind farms in power system reliability is investigate and a new procedure for reliability assessment of wind farms in hl1 level is proposed. in proposed procedure, application of fuzzy – markov f...

wind power generation is variable and uncertain. in the power systems with high penetration of wind power, determination of equivalent operating reserve is the main concern of systems operator. in this paper, a model is proposed to determine operating reserves in simultaneous market clearing of energy and reserve by stochastic programming based on scenarios generated via monte carlo simulation ...
