Despite the arid to hyperarid climate of the Great Sahara of North Africa, pluvial climates dominated the region. Radar data shed some light on the postulated Trans-African Drainage System and its relationship to active and inactive tributaries of the Nile basin. Interpretations of recent elevation data confirm a source of the river water from the Red Sea highlands did not connect the Atlantic ...

Fractal dimensions have been frequently applied to generalize the complexity and drainage of particular stream networks. Certain techniques to calculate dimension have become particularly popular, specifically the Divider method, functional-box counting, and as a function between bifurcation and length ratios. The frequency and variability with which these techniques are applied creates discrep...

This paper aims to present terrain characteristics of Kuya river basin specially relief zoning, aspect analysis, hill shade view, its relation with drainage conditions etc. Analysis of SRTM data in ERDAS Imagine and Arc GIS software reveals that there is no siginificant relief difference between upper and lower catchment of the basin but distinction between upper and lower catchments is very cl...

OBJECTIVES To assess whether an association exists between drainage to multiple basins and lymphatic metastasis in patients with truncal melanoma. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 227 patients with primary malignant melanoma between January 2006 and December 2009. All patients received an intradermal injection of (99m)Tc-nanocolloid and lymphoscintigraphy followed by sentinel node biopsy. ...

This paper introduces the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) as a tool of decision makings for the Integrated Lake Basin Management (ILBM). I show how the analytical framework is applied to one of drainage watersheds in Laguna de Bay in Philippines toward sustainable lake basin management through the ILBM-Governance project.

This work presents the necessary steps to obtain the quantitative parameters of a superficial drainage basin, using digital image processing techniques such as segmentation and mathematical morphology.

(UMRB) is a major sub-basin of the entire Mississippi River, one of the largest and most diverse ecosystems in North America. The length of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) is approximately 800 miles (1,287 km). The drainage area of the basin is approximately 189,189 square miles (489,980 km2) and contains about 15 percent of the drainage area of the entire Mississippi River Basin. The Basin i...

A top-quark reconstruction method at Clic is described. The reconstructed events are used to measure the ee → tt̄ cross-section as well as the forwardbackward asymmetry. The results suggest that the measurement accuracy for the cross-section will be δσ σ = 1.4 % and for the asymmetry δAF B AF B = 4.2 % for 1 ab.

with regard to the importance of instantaneous peak discharge estimation for watershed management study, and due to the lack of and unqualified climatic and hydrologic data for estimation and measurement in countries such as iran, researchers were obliged to establish a link between constant parameters (geomorphologic) and variables (hydrologic) to present models with minimum dependence on clim...
