Analyzing monitoring data efficiently is a classic problem in structural health monitoring. A nonparametric test method, the Mann–Kendall (MK) was implemented this study, which commonly used to detect monotonic trends series of environmental data. Using MK three types time were studied: stress measured concrete prism compression test, resultant force obtained from pseudostatic reinforced masonr...

a study of changes in groundwater resources of najafabad plain is an important issue asregards water resources management, especially after dry becoming of zayandehroodriver. in the present study trend analysis was conducted on groundwater level of 33piezometeric stations, located in najafabad plain during 1374-1391 while using mann-kendall non-parametric test. the slope of trend line was estim...

One of the very important issues discussed in the recent two decades is climate change. Temperature is one of the indicative factors of climate change. The present research aimed at studying temporal variation in temperature over Guwahati, Tezpur, Dibrugarh (Mohanbari) and Silchar stations, Assam, India, during the period 1981–2010. Trends in annual and seasonal temperature series were analyzed...

We discuss quantum non-locality and contextuality using the notion of transition sets [1, 2]. This approach provides a way to obtain a direct logical contradiction with locality/non-contextuality in the EPRB gedanken experiment as well as a clear graphical illustration of what violations of Bell inequalities quantify. In particular, we show graphically how these violations are related to measur...

Abstract Temperature variability may have direct and indirect impacts on the environments of Accra Kumasi Metropolises in Ghana. This study analysed temperature trends both cities using in-situ measurements from one meteorological station 1986 to 2015. The indices were computed RClimdex package Expert Team Climate Change Detection Monitoring Indices (ETCCDMI). time series was pre-whitened befor...

global warming has brought about changes in meteorological variable time series. these changes, accompanied with serious human intervention in nature, has resulted in hydrological changes. so the effects can be tracked down by the trend of the time series. the purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the monthly and annual trends of temperature, precipitation as well as stream flow time ...
