The frequency behavior of the tunnel injection quantum dot vertical cavitysurface emitting laser (TIQD-VCSEL) is investigated by using an analyticalnumericalmethod on the modulation transfer function. The function is based on therate equations and is decomposed into components related to different energy levelsinside the quantum dot and injection well. In this way, the effect of the tunnelingpr...

We investigated the response of caddisfly species assemblages in the middle reaches of the Shinano River to a flood that occurred in mid July 2006. Prior to the flood (on Day -22) the population density of total benthic caddisflies was 8,266.7 ± 2,392.1 individuals m. After the flood, by Day 11, the population density had decreased to 55.6 ± 55.6 individuals m. By Day 65, the density of caddis ...

Climate change has caused more frequent floods in China which have already resulted in huge losses. Thus flood risk assessment and management is an important research topic. In this paper, a new model of flood risk assessment is proposed based on the information diffusion theory and the back propagation (BP) neural network. Due to the fact that flood statistics data are relatively short and oft...

Modern joint probability methods for estimating storm surge or flood statistics are based on statistical aggregation of many hydrodynamic simulations that can be computationally expensive. Flood risk assessments that consider changing future conditions due to sea level rise or other drivers often require each storm to be run under a range of uncertain scenarios. Evaluating different flood risk ...

River flow extremes constitute a complex random process in both space and time. In this paper, some basic characteristics of flood flows considered as a spatial process are reviewed and discussed. Of particular interest are both marginal and joint distributional properties of annual peak flows at a collection of points in some large region. Two widely used regionalization methods for modeling t...

The worsening condition of floods in Malaysia, in terms of frequency and impact, calls for improvement in all aspects of flood management. In addition to technology enhancement of, and developing expertise, it is hoped that improvement on the governance of flood management could alleviate the problems relating to floods. Governance of flood management aims to address the issues related to flood...
