We introduce a new diagnosis tool that is well suited to analyzing simulation results over large samples of watersheds. It consists modification the classical Taylor diagram simultaneously visualize several error components (based on bias, standard deviation or squared errors) are commonly used in efficiency criteria (such as Nash–Sutcliffe (NSE) Kling–Gupta (KGE)) evaluate hydrological model p...

The KIDS model (Kielstau Discharge Simulation model) is a simple rainfall-runoff model developed originally for the Kielstau catchment. To extend its range of application we applied it to a completely different catchment, the XitaoXi catchment in China. Kielstau is a small (51 km2) lowland basin in Northern Germany, with large proportion of wetland area. And XitaoXi is a mesoscale (2271 km2) mo...

Two approaches to requirements modelling are compared—the Domain Theory [Sutcliffe, A.G., 2002. The Domain Theory: Patterns for Knowledge and Software Reuse. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Mahwah, NJ.] and Problem Frames [Jackson, M., 2001. Problem Frames: Analysing and Structuring Software Development Problems, Pearson Education, Harlow.]—as a means of domain analysis for creating a reusable lib...

This study evaluated the reduction effect of non-point source pollution by applying best management practices (BMPs) to a 1.21 km2 small agricultural watershed using a SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. Two meter QuickBird land use data were prepared for the watershed. The SWAT was calibrated and validated using daily streamflow and monthly water quality (total phosphorus (TP), total ...

Theory is developed for the calculation of dipole transition line strengths and frequencies for rotational and ro-vibrational transitions from wavefunctions expressed in the generalized body-fixed co-ordinates proposed by Sutcliffe and Tennyson (1986, Molec. Phys., 58, 1053). Computations using this theory produce calculated frequencies for the fundamental ro-vibrational transitions of H2 D+ an...

This paper presents a heuristic method for evaluating virtual environment (VE) user interfaces. The method is based on Nielsen’s [Usability Inspection Methods, 1994] usability heuristics, extended by VE-specific principles proposed by Sutcliffe and Kaur [Behaviour and Information Technology 19 (2000) 415–426]. Twelve heuristics are presented which address usability and presence issues. An inspe...

Providing a comparative framework for parsers is a task that has already been tried in the past, e.g. (Abeillé, 1991), (Atwell and Sutcliffe, 1997), (Black et al., 1991), and studied in the literature (Black, 1993), (Black, 1994), (Carroll et al., 1998), (Gaizauskas et al., 1998), (WEPS-98, ), (Mengel and Lezius, 2000), but mainly for English. In this paper, we present PEAS: a Protocol for Eval...

Primljeno (Received): 2012-02-21 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2012-05-15 Original scientific paper The Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (ENSC) has been modified in order to assess the quality of simulations compared to observed data from the mesophilic monofermentation of grass silage. By applying the ENSC it is not only possible to find parameter sets with the best fit, but also to analyz...
