Water level monitoring is important for understanding the global hydrological cycle. Remotely-sensed indices that capture localized instantaneous responses have been extensively explored for water level reconstruction during the past two decades. However, the potential usage of the Palmer’s Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indices for water level reconstruct...

Shape indices have been in use for several decades to describe the characteristics and hydrological properties of drainage basins. Due to the fractal behaviour of the basin boundary, perimeter-based shape indices depend on the scale at which they are determined. Therefore, these indices cannot objectively compare drainage basins across a range of scales and basin sizes. This paper presents an o...

A new derivative based criterion y τ for groups of input variables is presented. It is shown that there is a link between global sensitivity indices and the new derivative based measure. It is proved that small values of derivative based measures imply small values of total sensitivity indices. However, for highly nonlinear functions the ranking of important variables using derivative based imp...

in order to evaluation rice cultivars in different irrigation treatment based on sensitive and tolerance indices in rice , an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized completed block design with three replications at rice research institute of iran. main factors were included of five irrigation levels: flooded irrigation (normal treatment), irrigation after banishment, five, e...

Screening method using the derivative-based global sensitivity indices with application to reservoir simulator — Reservoir simulator can involve a large number of uncertain input parameters. Sensitivity analysis can help reservoir engineers focusing on the inputs whose uncertainties have an impact on the model output, which allows reducing the complexity of the model. There are several ways to ...

Let G be a connected simple (molecular) graph. The distance d(u, v) between two vertices u and v of G is equal to the length of a shortest path that connects u and v. In this paper we compute some distance based topological indices of H-Phenylenic nanotorus. At first we obtain an exact formula for the Wiener index. As application we calculate the Schultz index and modified Schultz index of this...
