ارزیابی خشک‌سالی، ازنظر زمانی و مکانی، برای برنامه‌ریزی‌های کاهش خسارات در استان کردستان اهمیت بسیاری دارد. این تحقیق، از شاخص بارش استانداردشده همچنین، پوشش گیاهی بارزشدة استخراجی تصاویر ماهواره‌ای، به‌منزلة پارامتر تعیین‌کنندة استفاده شده است. به‌این‌منظور، داده‌های آماری ایستگاه‌های هواشناسی شامل حداکثر دمای ماهیانه، مجموع سالیانه نیز سنجندة مادیس به‌کار رفته با مقایسة پارامترهای میانگین سال...

This paper explores the use of Monte Carlo carbon cycle data assimilation within the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) frameworktoevaluate thesensitivitiesofa wellknown complex land surface model (SiB v2.5) to its parameterization and the predictive uncertainty of simulated fluxes on a monthly basis, and for an entire year, at the WLEF talltower site in Park Falls, Wisconsin....

مکانیزم شکست ناشی از خزش در طی حادثه شدید یک رآکتور‌ آبی‌تحت‌فشار به‌جهت انتقال مواد رادیواکتیو به محیط‌زیست اهمیت ویژه‌ای برخوردار است. دنبال شدید، حرارت واپاشی منتقل‌شده سایر قسمت‌های سیستم‌خنک‌کننده رآکتور می‌تواند منجر گرم‌شدن سازه‌های سیستم خنک‌کننده (RCS) و خرابی نواحی تحت‌فشار آسیب‌پذیر شود. قطع‌کامل‌برق (SBO) بدون اقدامات اپراتور (توالی TMLB) یکی محتمل‌ترین سناریوهایی است که ممکن یکپارچ...

Fluid properties of five binary mixtures relevant to shale gas and light tight oil in confined nano-channels are studied. Canonical (NVT) Monte Carlo simulations are used to determine internal energies of departure of pure fluids using the RASPA software system (Dubbeldam et al., 2015). The linear mixing rule proposed by Lucia et al. (2012) is used to determine internal energies of departure fo...

Freestanding gold nanowires (AuNW) were incorporated to fabricate a miniaturized gas ionization sensor. The device exhibited improved ensitivity in sub-Torr pressure (P) regime compared to similar devices reported earlier, since the room temperature breakdown voltage (Vb) as further reduced in low gas pressures or concentrations (N). Also excellent selectivity was achieved for pressures up to 1...

Uncertainties are ubiquitous and unavoidable in process design and modeling. Because they can significantly affect the safety, reliability and economic decisions, it is important to quantify these uncertainties and reflect their propagation effect to process design. This paper proposes the application of generalized polynomial chaos (gPC)-based approach for uncertainty quantification and sensit...

This research discusses the application of a mixed-integer-binary small-population-based evolutionary particle swarm optimization to the problem of optimal power flow, where the optimization problem has been formulated taking into account four decision variables simultaneously: active power (continuous), voltage generator (continuous), tap position on transformers (integer) and shunt devices (b...

ackground & Aims: Alarm features such as dysphaia, weight loss, or anemia raise concern of an upper astrointestinal malignancy in patients with dyspepia. The aim of this study was to determine the diagostic accuracy of alarm features in predicting maligancy by performing a metaanalysis based on the ublished literature. Methods: English-language studes were identified by searching MEDLINE, EMBAS...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether apolipoproteins A-I (Apo A-I) and B (Apo B) have, higher ensitivity (SN), specificity (SP) and positive predictive value (PPV) than lipoproteins (LP), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and triglycerides (TGL) in assessing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS Thi...
