Daily precipitation is recorded as the total amount of water collected by a rain-gauge in 24 h. Events are modelled as a Poisson process and the 24 h precipitation by a Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) of excesses. Hazard assessment is complete when estimates of the Poisson rate and the distribution parameters, together with a measure of their uncertainty, are obtained. The shape parameter...

the main purpose of the study is determination of the pollutants hazard potential as well as environmental vulnerability of qarah su river. first the most significant pollutant sources in the qarah su river watershed were identified and then accordingly the pollution hazard potential rate was calculated in universal ranking system model setting. then, by generalizing the algebraic sum of the re...

The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of selected metal concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cr and Fe) in the muscles of five fish species (Sander lucioperca, Liza auratus, Alosa caspia, Cyprinus carpio and Liza saliens) from Gorgan Bay the south-eastern Caspian Sea, in order to assess health risk to the human via fish consumption by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotome...

In this paper the effects of uncertainties in the estimation of seismic hazard parameters is considered. These uncertainties are the result of the intricacy of the matter, restriction in identifying the interfering factors and lack of ability in determining the effective elements. One of the methods in estimating the seismic hazard potential is probabilistic method. In this method with the hyp...
