To improve the quality of Satsuma mandarin during the developing and maturing stages, an optimal watering operation was investigated through identification and optimization using intelligent control techniques. Dynamic changes in the sugar content and the citric acid of Satsuma mandarin, as affected by rainfall and sunshine duration, was first identified using neural networks, and then an optim...

The importance of considering the spatial distribution of rainfall for process-oriented hydrological modelling is well-known. However, the application of rainfall radar data to provide such detailed spatial resolution is still under debate. In this study the process-oriented TAC (Tracer Aided Catchment model, Distributed) model had been used to investigate the effects of different spatially dis...

Rainfall erosivity, considering rainfall amount and intensity, is an important parameter for soil erosion risk assessment under future land use and climate change. Despite its importance, rainfall erosivity is usually implemented in models with a low spatial and temporal resolution. The purpose of this study is to assess the temporaland spatial distribution of rainfall erosivity in form of the ...

rainfall is recognized as one of the main triggering factors of landslides. researchers have long attempted to determine the amount of precipitation required to trigger slope failures. one of the landslide zones in iran is chaharmahal & bakhtiari province where many landslides cause high casualties in recent decades. it is significant that most of these landslides occur after a rainy period...

This study evaluated the accuracy of several models for estimating daily solar radiation (Q) across Australia. Data from 39 sites were taken from MetAccess. The sites were grouped into four climatic zones. Coefficients of nine models, including two newly developed formulae, were fitted for the 39 sites. Correlation coefficients (R2) between estimated Q and measured Q and root mean squared error...

We investigated the side of parking lots, garbage collection points and house wall to understand source plastic pieces. The survey was conducted approximately monthly from Apr. 2020 Feb. 2021 with aim clarifying detailed rainfall variation in density pieces on shoulder. discharge coefficient gravel is 0.30 0.70, lower than that asphalt, 0.70 0.95. As surface could be hard washed away easy accum...
