In this paper, the El-Hames empirical method was used to determine the peak runoff flow in Iranshahr catchment. The El-Hames method is based on morphological parameters and SCS Curve Number of the studied area. The implementing was processed by collecting the required data including soil type and vegetation cover, land use maps, digital elevation model and satellite images from the associated i...

Much ink has been spilled recently in the debate over whether indigenous people are “ecologically noble savages” — natural-born conservationists — or whether they pose a threat to biodiversity in the Amazon and other ecosystems (Redford, 1991; Alcorn, 1993; Alvard, 1993; Redford and Stearman, 1993; Robinson, 1993; Terborgh, 1999; Schwartzman et al., 2000). Tropical biologists and ecological ant...

in this paper, the synchronization of a new hyperchaotic complex system based on t-s fuzzy model is proposed. first the considered hyperchaotic system is represented by t-s fuzzy model equivalently. then by using the parallel distributed compensation (pdc) method and by applying linear system theory and exact linearization (el) technique, a fuzzy controller is designed to realize the synchroniz...

Recent developments in empirical likelihood (EL) methods are reviewed. First, to put the method in perspective, two interpretations of empirical likelihood are presented, one as a nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method (NPMLE) and the other as a generalized minimum contrast estimator (GMC). The latter interpretation provides a clear connection between EL, GMM, GEL and other related ...

in this paper, we solve a linear system of second-order boundary value problems by using the quadratic b-spline nite el- ement method (fem). the performance of the method is tested on one model problem. comparisons are made with both the analyti- cal solution and some recent results.the obtained numerical results show that the method is ecient.

‎Assume that $A$ is a Banach algebra‎. ‎We define the‎ ‎$beta-$topology and the $gamma-$topology on the space $QM_{el}(A^{*})$ of all bounded extended left quasi-multipliers of $A^{*}.$‎ ‎We establish further properties of $(QM_{el}(A^{*}),gamma)$ when $A$ is a $C^{*}-$algebra‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we characterize the $gamma-$dual‎ ‎of $QM_{el}(A^{*})$ and prove that $(QM_{el}(A^{*}),gamma)^{*},$...
