The lunar semidiurnal influence is already known for tidal rivers. The moon also influences inland rivers at a monthly scale through precipitation. We show that, for some non-tidal rivers, with special geological conditions, the lunar semidiurnal tidal oscillation can be detected. The moon has semidiurnal tidal influence on groundwater, which will then export it to streamflow. Long time series ...

Improvement of the principles implementation a hybrid solar-wind system equipped with battery for self-consumption local object, control power consumed from grid, is considered. The aim to increase degree energy use renewable sources consumption while limiting discharge, taking into account deviations in load schedule and generation relative calculated (forecast) values. possibility compensatin...

flow river forecasting plays an important role in designing, management, and utilization of water resources. the main object of the research is to study the possibility of forecasting and monitoring the northern karon rivers (armand and bazfat) discharge by using modern simulation methods. in this research, armand and bazoft discharge variations was investigated. in this regard, monthly data of...

in this paper trends of precipitation and stream flow are analyzed in the atrak river basin in the north khorasan province. normal score linear regression, mann-kendall, and seasonal kendall trend tests were adopted. three precipitation variables and two stream flow variables including total precipitation, maximum daily precipitation, and number of rainy days, mean discharge and peak discharge ...

Relationships between satellite-derived water quality variables and river discharges, concentrations and loads of nutrients, organic carbon, and sediments were investigated over a 9-year period (2003–2011) in Pensacola Bay, Florida, USA. These analyses were conducted to better understand which river forcing factors were the primary drivers of estuarine variability in several water quality varia...

BACKGROUND In 1996, Turkey made tobacco control a health priority. The tobacco control effort was extended in July 2009 with the expansion of the smoke-free law to include all enclosed workplaces and public places and, in January 2010, with a 20% increase in the Special Consumption Tax on Tobacco. METHODS Sales data were averaged, by month, for the period January 2005 through June 2009 to est...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of increased primary care access created by North Carolina's Medicaid managed care plan, Carolina Access (CA), in reducing unnecessary emergency department (ED) use in Guilford County. METHODS Emergency department records of pediatric visits before and after the implementation of CA were analyzed. Variables included patient age, International Classifica...

Rainfall and air temperature variations resulting from climate change are important driving forces to change hydrologic processes in watershed ecosystems. This study investigated the impacts of past and future rainfall and air temperature variations upon water discharge, water outflow (from the watershed outlet), and evaporative loss in the Lower Yazoo River Watershed (LYRW), Mississippi, USA u...
