one of the water resources modeling requirements is sufficient knowledge of long-term series of meteorological and hydrological parameters. in this study the nearest neighbor resampling method presented by lall and sharma was developed. in the developed model, the knn regression was used for time series forecasting instead of local polynomial used in the developed algorithm by prairie. in this ...

the chisel plow is one of the tillage implements utilized to carry out conservation tillage practices; therefore, it is valuable to pay more attention on the force requirement of this implement. to achieve this goal, a theoretical model was developed to calculate draft, specific draft, and drawbar power of a chisel plow. then, results obtained from the developed model were compared with the rep...

Rain garden (RG) has been developed and applied to low-impact designs for the purpose of water quality enhancement. A RG consists of a surface storage basin and subsurface infiltrating layers. The storage basin is designed to be shallow, flat, and wide with an overtopping weir to pass excessive flows, while the subsurface infiltrating system is composed of two layers of filtering media. The upp...

to understand the mechanism of multiple sclerosis (ms), an autoimmune demyelinating disease, the researchers developed an experimental animal model for ms, which is called eae (experimental allergic encephalomyelitis). there are several methods for inducing this animal model. in this research the active eae, which is developed by injecting bovine myelin antigens into genetically susceptible ani...

Kolmogorov's phenomenological theory for the energy spectrum in a turbulent fluid in three dimensions is perhaps the single most successful theoretical attempt to comprehend fully developed turbulence. (1) Nevertheless it fails to account for certain fluctuation effects (" intermittency ") that are seen experimentally in three dimensions3 2) Furthermore, it is formulated in such general terms t...

the paper presents an economical model for double variable acceptance sampling with inspection errors. taguchi cost function is used as acceptance cost while quality specification functions are normal with known variance. an optimization model is developed for double variables acceptance sampling scheme at the presence of inspection errors with either constant or monotone value functions. the m...

foundations behavior is affected by soil behavior which can vary from dilative to contractive depending on the stress level, particularly in dense frictional soils. the zero extension lines (zel) method has been generally developed to predict the foundations behavior. knowledge of soil behavior enables the zel method to predict the general and local shear failure modes. in this paper, a relativ...
