Soil erosion has become one of the most serious environmental problems worldwide, and rainfall is considered a crucial factor in water erosion. Rainfall erosivity defined as ability precipitation to trigger soil The accurate assessment essential before taking appropriate measures stop or slow down In this study, we calculated China using Xie model two satellite-based products (SPPs). Gauge-base...

a r t i c l e i n f o Shimla is one of the 80 hill stations which were established on preferred locations during British rule in India. It is the summer capital of pre-independent India, planned and developed for a maximum population of 25,000 in a picturesque hill setting. Presently, Shimla is capital of the state of Himachal Pradesh, one of the most preferred tourist destinations in the count...

We examined the risk of importing and mistakenly releasing equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV)-infected horses into California. A computer simulation model was constructed to evaluate current and alternative quarantine station procedures; 150,000 iterations were performed to simulate 15 different scenarios of 10,000 horses imported into the state over a 14-year period. Simulation results show...

Most of the studies on rainwater harvesting analysis present outcomes for particular cities, representing a single set results specific city. However, in reality, significant spatial and weather variabilities may exist, due to which presenting only one city would be misleading. This paper presents potential expected water savings supply reliability through domestic tank an inland An earlier-dev...

Abstract. Occurrence probabilities of extreme sea levels required in coastal planning, e.g. for calculating design floods, have been traditionally estimated individually at each tide-gauge location. However, these estimates include uncertainties, as sea-level observations typically only a small number cases such annual maxima. Moreover, exact information on extremes between the locations and in...

Data with acceptable gridded resolution of daily climatic variables are critical for hydrological and water resource modeling. The gauge-based interpolation methods usually used by hydrologic models in general do not cover the spatial heterogeneity of the variability of climatic variables in a catchment. The errors in the interpolated data fields have the potential to significantly bias hydrolo...

introduction: the purpose of the present study was to record their pain sensation and to assess children`s reaction objectively and subjectively while receiving dental local anesthesia with 27- and 30-gauge needles. methods: forty children (24 boys and 16 girls) participated in this study. a random double-blinded crossover design was used so that each child served as his or her own control, rec...
