In many cases it is necessary to measure the velocity of water flow whether it is during some installation of scientific research or some natural calamities. But, In surface water studies, it is difficult to measure the velocity of water. Contact Sensors have been used in various examination but they did not execute accurate result. In this paper non-contact velocity measurement technique based...

The South East Asian Tsunami in Thailand and Hurricane Katrina in the United States were natural disasters of different origin but of similar destruction and response. Both disasters exhibited synonymous health outcomes and similar structural damage from large surges of water, waves, and flooding. A systematic discussion and comparison of the disasters in Thailand and the Gulf Coast considers b...

A rockslide-debris avalanche destroyed the remote village of Guinsaugon in Southern Leyte, Philippines, on 17 February 2006. Although search and rescue procedures were implemented immediately, the scale of the landslide and a lack of information about its nature resulted in unfocused and imprecise efforts in the early days of the operation.

Data stream is a newly emerging data model for applications like environment monitoring, Web click stream, network traffic monitoring, etc. It consists of an infinite sequence of data points accompanied with timestamp coming from external data source. Typically data sources are located onsite and very vulnerable to external attacks and natural calamities, thus outliers are very common in the da...

In this paper a new concept for modeling uneven-aged forests (UEAF) is presented. The term UEAF in this article encloses all forests that deviate from the even-aged structure. The matrix model is area-based, in that the forest under study is described by a distribution of areas over fixed state-spaces spanned by stem number and volume per hectare classes. Dynamics is introduced as transitions o...

To encounter the emergent necessity of radio spectrum, which is a limited natural resource, proper utilization of the radio spectrum is a must. Introduction of cognitive radio networks can play a vital role to solve the spectrum scarcity. Cognitive radio uses an open spectrum allocation technique to make more efficient utilization of the wireless radio spectrum and reduce the bottleneck on the ...
