increasing of energy demand and decreasing of water resources, could make the future energy production as a big challenge. climate change is one of the main reasons for water resources limitation. future precipitation and air temperature, change hydrological conditions and directly effect on the hydropower production. for showing the future condition and making it possible to manage the hydropo...

introduction flood is a natural hazard that its occurrences can be observed more frequently in recent years. for better flood mitigation and control, it is needed to identify flood production factors and determine the high potential flood areas. hydrological model is a simplified representation of natural system and the rainfall-runoff model is one of the most frequently used events for flood s...

To identify the mechanisms responsible for the fluctuations in force that occur during voluntary contractions, experimental measurements were compared with simulated forces in the time and frequency domains at contraction intensities that ranged from 2 to 98% of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). The abduction force exerted by the index finger due to an isometric contraction of the first ...
