Propagation of pluvial floods in urban areas, occurring with return time periods few years, can be well solved using dual models accounting for the mutual relationship between water level streets and discharges inside sewer pipes. The extended WEC-flood model (EWEC), based on use unstructured triangular meshes a diffusive formulation momentum equations both 2D 1D lower domains, is presented alo...

Abstract A number of rapid developments and negative effects climate change in coastal areas have forced its equilibrium system. As a result, tidal floods, high waves, storms occur more frequently. The goal this research is to examine nearshore hydrodynamic conditions by using results from the hindcasting procedure. non-linear Boussinesq (BW) Spectral Wave (SW) models are used study. use mannin...

The potential dependence of second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) on latitude has been discussed in recent papers in this journal (Hurd & van Anders, 2007; Loehlin, McFadden, Medland, & Martin, 2006, 2007). Such an association was first suggested by Manning (2002), who proposed that 2D:4D was highest at intermediate latitudes and lowest at the equator and at high latitudes. In their Fig. 1, Hurd...

The role of the Manning roughness coefficient in modifying a tsunami time series flow depth inundation was studied Iquique, Chile, using single synthetic earthquake scenario. A high-resolution digital surface model used as reference configuration, and several bare land models constant were tested with different grid resolutions. As previously reported, increasing n value beyond standard values ...

Freshwater scarcity has driven the integration of technological advancements and automation systems in agriculture order to attempt improve water-use efficiency. For irrigation canals, efficiency is, great measure, limited by performance management responsible for controlling flow delivering water farmers. Recent studies show a significant sensitivity results obtained from canal control algorit...

This work aimed at testing the capability of numerical model SWASH to be implemented in prototype overtopping and flooding forecast system HIDRALERTA for Ericeira harbour. In contrast neural network NN_OVERTOPPING2, which is currently HIDRALERTA, able estimate flood extension wave propagation along domain, makes it a possible improvement NN_OVERTOPPING2. The one-dimensional version was simulate...

The ratio between 2nd (index) and 4th (ring) finger lengths (2D:4D) has been proposed to be negatively correlated to prenatal testosterone exposure in humans (Manning, 2002). Evidence for this phenomenon has come from findings of differences between males and females, masculinized 2D:4D in individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (a condition which produces elevated prenatal testosterone...
