Hydraulic models of rivers are essential for vulnerability assessment in disaster management. This study simulates the 2019 Typhoon Hagibis at Nanakita River using a dynamic roughness model. The model estimates river on pixel level from relationship between Manning coefficient and degree submergence vegetation. is defined as ratio water depth to plant height. After validating model, effect vege...

OBJECTIVE To determine if there is any association between autoantibody profile and damage in a cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS A prospective cohort of SLE patients attending two SLE clinics in Birmingham was analysed. All patients fulfilled ARA criteria for SLE. Detailed clinical and serological information was recorded at each visit. Damage according to t...

One of the main factors that cause to quality loss for fresh fruit market apples is bruise damage. Amongst the factors that affect apple sensitivity to bruising, major one is drop height and area profile during the impact. In the present study, four Iranian apple varieties consisted of Atirli, Kapak, Kowse and Paiez that were selected and 100 fruits of each variety were picked up, then apples w...

The RIES-KOA e-voting system was used in the Netherlands as an additional system for the elections by expatriates for the Tweede Kamer (roughly: the Dutch House of Commons) elections in 2006. Although the system has been used in other elections in the Netherlands as well, there have been few independent evaluations of the system. In this paper, we apply the recently proposed Protection Profile ...

This paper introduces a methodology for investigating the behaviour of a distribution network incorporating both load variations and variable micro-wind generation output. The probabilistic methodology is applied to a representative model of the Irish Distribution Network. Application of a selection of commercially available micro-wind turbines to the model is investigated for a range of load a...
