introduction water vapor can spread in molecular, unstable and erratic phase and can also transfer by convection and advection process. this transfer happens from the earth and ocean surfaces to the atmosphere in hot air. this type of transfer is considered as the main pattern. in the studies of the atmosphere, one of the prominent factors to be considered is the complexity of water vapor and i...

background: fasting during the holy month of ramadan (fasting) for muslims is a religious duty. the impact of fasting on some diseases has been reported in medical literature. this study evaluated the effects of fasting on appendicitis. in this population-based descriptive study, we investigated whether the incidence of acute appendicitis differs during fasting compared to other non fasting lun...

Large parts of The Netherlands are below sea level. Therefore, it is important to have insight into the possible consequences and risks of flooding. In this article, an analysis of the risks due to flooding of the dike ring area South Holland in The Netherlands is presented. For different flood scenarios the potential number of fatalities is estimated. Results indicate that a flood event in thi...

studying risk and frequency analysis of flood is done in order to design structures located in floody lands. in hydrological and water resources engineering projects, first of all, we should determine frequency of this phenomenon- their return period. in this research, the method of planning, the cumulative freguency curve is explained and probability and return period and errors concerning sma...

INTRODUCTION: In the first half of April 2019, heavy rains in central and western parts of Iran resulted in great floods. The rains affected 24 provinces and caused extensive damage to urban and rural infrastructure. Since Iran, especially the northern, western, and southern provinces of Iran are prone to floods, the floods are expected to occur every year in many provinces. Therefore, the pres...

The regime of sediment transport in the Jingjiang Reach has significantly changed from quasi-equilibrium to sub-saturation since the impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), and vertical profiles of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) have changed accordingly. Vertical profiles of SSC data measured at three hydrological stations in the Jingjiang Reach (Zhicheng, Shaishi, and Jianli), befor...

The objectives of the study were to measure the effects of an experimental flood on : (1) leaf litter production by the riparian forest; (2) leaf decomposition; and (3) the amount of forest floot organic matter. The study area is located at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, approximately 160 km south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Experimental and reference study sites of about 3·1 ha we...

This study analyzes the duration and division of the flood season in the Fenhe River Basin over the period of 1957–2014 based on daily precipitation data collected from 14 meteorological stations. The Mann–Kendall detection, the multiscale moving t-test, and the Fisher optimal partition methods are used to evaluate the impact of climate change on flood season duration and division. The results ...
