In India, near Chennai, Pammal Panchayat of Tambaram Taluk, there are more than 145 tannery industries functioning since 1945, covering six square kilometre area. To assess the level of chemical contamination of the study area, 3D model Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) has been generated using GIS software such as Arc Sene, Arc Map. Using the cross validation technique from the software ana...

Dust storms are a common phenomenon in arid and semi-arid areas, and their impacts on both physical and human environments are of great interest. Number of studies have associated atmospheric PM pollution in urban environments with origin in natural soil/dust, but less evaluated the dust spatial patterns over a city. We aimed to analyze the spatial-temporal behavior of PM concentrations over th...

Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) topographic data provide highly accurate digital terrain information, which is used widely in applications like creating flood insurance rate maps, forest and tree studies, coastal change mapping, soil and landscape classification, 3D urban modeling, river bank management, agricultural crop studies, etc. In this paper, we focus mainly on the use of L...

BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines recommend objective nutritional assessments in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients but were developed while referencing to a North-American population. Specific recommendations for assessing muscle mass were suggested (mid-arm circumference, MAC; corrected mid-arm muscle area, cAMA; mid-arm muscle circumference, MAMC). This study aimed to asses...

Porsuk River Basin, located in the Central Anatolia, Turkey, has a drainage area of 10818.41 km2 and total length 460 km, which makes it significant region for variety hydrological hydropower studies. Therefore, is necessary to determine rainfall distribution over basin so that related projects processes, such as dam planning works, can be properly performed. To fulfil this aim, meteorological ...

Post-disaster flood risk assessment is extremely difficult owing to the great uncertainties involved in all parts of exercise, e.g., uncertainty hydrologic–hydraulic models and depth–damage curves. In present study, a robust fast data-driven tool for residential introduced. The proposed can be used by scientists, practitioners and/or stakeholders as first step better understanding quantifying m...

Due to the short duration, high intensity and sudden of torrential rain, mountain torrents are easily formed in northern hilly area.The distributed hydrological model is used as main means rain-flood forecasting. Rainfall an important input,its spatial interpolation accuracy time scale directly affect forecast results.Therefore, this paper, calculation analysis rainstorm process with hourly car...
