The 30–60-day Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) has been documented in previous research to impact tropical cyclone (TC) activity for various tropical cyclone basins around the globe. TheMJOmodulates largescale convective activity throughout the tropics, and concomitantly modulates other fields known to impact tropical cyclone activity such as vertical wind shear, midlevelmoisture, vertical motio...

Kabani river is a 7 order stream with a basin area of 1647 km. There are 4 sixth order and11 fifth order sub-basins. This analysis is mainly confined to 11 fifth order sub basins. Morphometric indices like stream ordering, bifurcation ratio, stream length, drainage density, stream frequency, form factor, elongation ratio, circularity ratio, constant of channel maintenance, asymmetry factor, sin...

Recent observations of an association between forearc basins and slip during subduction thrust earthquakes suggest a link between processes controlling upper plate structure and seismic coupling on the subduction-zone thrust fault. We present a mechanism for the formation of these basins where sedimentation occurs on landward-dipping segments of the subduction wedge, which itself is actively gr...

The aim of this paper is to recommend a rapid classification system for sustainable flood retention basins (SFRBs) to control runoff in a temperate climate. The system should improve communication among engineers and scientists, and was developed with a general database (approximately 660 basins) and a very detailed database (56 basins), using the River Rhine catchment in the South of Baden (Ge...

Human brain mapping aims at establishing correspondences between brain function and brain anatomy. One of the most intriguing problems in this field is the high interpersonal variability of human neuroanatomy which makes studies across many subjects very difficult. The cortical folds ('sulci') often serve as landmarks that help to establish correspondences between subjects. In this paper, we wi...

hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basin is an unstable phenomenon which causes some complexities in controlling of the   jump. this paper considers the stability of free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins from a theoretical point of view. a minimum value of upstream froude number is needed to produce the free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins which was presented by a theoretical...

The prevailing tectonic setting in the Gulf California suggests the presence of an undetermined number of short spreading centres with associated hydrothermal systems. However, to date, active seafloor spreading phenomena have been documented in only three of the eight tectonically active basins. Here we report heat flow values as high as 15,436 mW m(-2) in two of the northernmost basins of the...

Fish reproductions were studied in two river basins (Corumbataí and Jacaré-Pepira basins) in the State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. In the Corumbataí basin, four sites were sampled: Cabeça River, Lapa Stream, Passa-Cinco River, and Corumbataí River; in the Jacaré-Pepira basin, three sites were sampled: Tamanduá Stream, Jacaré-Pepira River, and Agua Branca Stream. A total of 12 bimonthly s...

In systems that exhibit multistability, namely those that have more than one coexisting attractor, the basins of attraction evolve in specific ways with the creation of each new attractor. These multiple attractors can be created via different mechanisms. When an attractor is formed via a saddle-node bifurcation, the size of its basin increases as a power-law in the bifurcation parameter. In sy...

We introduce a dynamic market share attraction model where agents are boundedly rational. They follow a simple rule of thumb which is based on marginal profits to determine their actions over time. We show that multistability arises, i.e. several attractors coexist. In such a situation the selected long run state becomes path-dependent, and a thorough knowledge of the basins and their structure...
