In this paper, we present an application of evolved neural networks using a real coded genetic algorithm for simulations of monthly groundwater levels in a coastal aquifer located in the Shabestar Plain, Iran. After initializing the model with groundwater elevations observed at a given time, the developed hybrid genetic algorithm-back propagation (GA-BP) should be able to reproduce groundwater ...

This paper uses the results of river suspended sediment flux (SSF) analysis to propose a new hydrological method for quantitatively estimating the river bed and drainage basin (sheet erosion, rill and gully erosion) components of total erosion intensity in river basins. The suggested method is based on the establishment of the functional power connection between mean monthly water discharges (W...

The Çaygören Reservoir was sampled monthly from February 2007 to January 2009 at three stations to determine the relationships between the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) dynamics and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N), water discharge, water transparency, water temperature (T), specific conductance (SC) and pH. Thermal stratification occurred in the re...

Parasitic Gastroenteritis(PGE) Penrith diagnosed PGE in a 10-week-old Limousin-X calf which had been at pasture for three weeks before developing diarrhoea. Parasitological examination revealed 5100 trichostrongyle eggs per gram faeces and 1700 coccidial oocysts. Langford diagnosed PGE on eight occasions in six to twelve month old calves Trichostrongyle sp. worm egg counts of up to 4,550 epg we...

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...
