The farmers in the Bow River Basin (BRB), Canada, have adopted water conservation strategies to reduce needs. This reduction, however, encouraged expansion of irrigation, which may rebound agricultural demands. paradox requires an understanding human adaptation drought by mapping individual farmers’ decisions dynamics basin-wide demand. We develop agent-based demand (ABAD) model, simulating beh...

This paper investigated the vulnerability of agriculture sector and rural livelihoods in Bicol River Basin (BRB) Philippines to projected changes climate. The geographical characteristics BRB feature eight major sub-basins or watersheds consisting Libmanan-Pulantuna, Ragay Hills, Thiris, Naga-Yabo, Pawili River, Waras-Lalo, Naporog, Quinali. study applied combination participatory tools Climate...

ABSTRAKPenggunaan bresing tahan tekuk dapat menjadi solusi atas kebutuhan struktur gempa di Indonesia. Disipasi energi pada elemen dilakukan melalui kinerja plastifikasi bagian inti akibat beban tarik dan tekan. Penelitian ini berisi kajian dari bangunan rangka baja beraturan dengan (BRB) variasi level ketinggian lantai yaitu 3 lantai, 8 15 lantai. Analisis 3D dua prosedur analisis modal pushov...

Deep dysgraphic patients make semantic errors when writing to dictation and they cannot write nonwords. Extant reports of deep dysgraphia come from languages with relatively opaque orthographies. Turkish is a transparent orthography because the bidirectional mappings between phonology and orthography are completely predictable. We report BRB, a biscriptal Turkish-English speaker who has acquire...

Cognitive impairment affects approximately half of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Questionnaire (MSNQ) has previously demonstrated validity for detecting cognitive impairment in MS, and is quick and easy to complete. The objective was to validate an internet version of the MSNQ. The following were completed at home over the internet for 82 MS patient...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate and characterise cognitive impairment in the very early stage of multiple sclerosis (MS), in which patients are still diagnosed as suffering from probable MS. METHODS The Brief Repeatable Battery-Neuropsychological (BRB-N) that has been validated for MS patients was used. Abnormal performance was defined as one standard deviation below the mean reported for healthy age ...

Diets containing freeze-dried black raspberries (BRB) suppress the development of N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA)–induced tumors in the rat esophagus. Using bioassay-directed fractionation, the anthocyanins in BRB were found to be the most active constituents for down-regulation of carcinogen-induced nuclear factor-κB and activator protein-1 expression in mouse epidermal cells in vitro. The p...

Fault diagnosis for body-in-white (BIW) welding robots is important ensuring the efficient production of assembly line. As a result complex mechanism robot, its strong correlation components, and many types faults, it difficult to establish complete fault model. Therefore, model BIW-welding robot based on multi-layer belief rule base (BRB) was proposed. This can effectively integrate monitoring...

The aerospace relay is an important part of the complex electronic systems in large-scale structural components, such as launch vehicle, and its working state determines whether system can work properly. Due to lack high-value samples, complexity system, multiple environment disturbance factors affecting relay, this study, we developed a new fault diagnosis tolerance control framework for based...
