Human intervention makes river channels adjust their slope and bed surface grain size as they transition to a new equilibrium state in response engineering measures. Climate change alters the controls through hydrograph changes sea level rise. We assess how channel climate compares human over this century (2000–2100), focusing on 300-km reach of Rhine River. set up schematized numerical model r...

SPLICE/AS is an authentication system for large-scale distributed systems. Two distinct aws have been discovered in SPLICE/AS|the most recent by Clark and Jacob. In addition to pointing out the aw, Clark and Jacob propose a modiication. We show the Clark-Jacob version is still awed by describing an attack that can be carried out under certain assumptions. We argue that the underlying reason for...

Unit hydrographs (UH) are either determined from gauged data or derived using empirically-based synthetic unit hydrograph procedures. In Saudi Arabia, the discharge records may not be available either for several locations or for long time scales, and therefore synthetic unit hydrographs are crucial in flood and water resources management. Available metrological, geological, and land use datase...

In this study, we introduce a new type of surface curves called $D$-type curve. This curve is defined by the property that the unit Darboux vector $vec{W}_{0} $ of a surface curve $vec{r}(s)$ and unit surface normal $vec{n} $ along the curve $vec{r}(s)$ satisfy the condition $leftlangle vec{n} ,vec{W}_{0} rightrangle =text{constant}$. We point out that a $D$-type curve is a geodesic curve or an...

The main emphasis in developing DOS has been on achieving low crosstalk (CT). CT in the order of -30 dB is acceptable in conventional DOS and below that value is hard to achieve. Relatively low drive voltage (or power requirements) is also necessary to optimized DOS. This paper depicts the design of Y-branched digital optical switches (DOS) with optimized on-chip area coverage, reduced driving ...

do.usbr. Summary We investigate the applicability of the Two-dimensional, Runoff, Erosion and Export (TREX) model to simulate extreme floods on large watersheds in semi-arid regions in the western United States. Spatially-distributed extreme storm and channel components are implemented so that the TREX model can be applied to this problem. TREX is demonstrated via calibration, validation and si...

This paper describes a simple and efficient non-stationary subdivision scheme of order 4. This curve scheme unifies known subdivision rules for cubic B-splines, splines-in-tension and a certain class of trigonometric splines capable of reproducing circles. The curves generated by this unified subdivision scheme are C2 splines whose segments are either polynomial, hyperbolic or trigonometric fun...

In this paper a general model for array-based approximate arithmetic computing (AAAC) is proposed to guide the minimization of processing error. In this model the key building block of AAAC circuits is the Error Compensation Unit (ECU). While designing the ECU, the two most critical problems are identified viz., determination of optimal error compensation values and identification of optimal er...

cold roll-forming is a process in which the roll of sheet is formed by passing continuously through the set of rotary rollers without changing thickness in a cool way until it is formed to the desired profile. in this paper a parametric study on the section twist angle in roll-forming the non-symmetric channel is presented, using finite element simulation. at first finite element simulation res...

Groundwater is one of the most important water resources in Fars province. Based on this study, 95 percent of the total annual water consumption in Fars is used for agriculture, whereas the percentages for domestic and industrial uses are 4 and 1 percent, respectively. Population growth, urban and industrial growth, and agricultural development in Fars have created a condition of water stress. ...
