The hypothesis of a complementary relationship in regional evapotranspiration allows for estimation of actual evapotranspiration on a regional scale by simple, physically based models that take into account feedbacks in land surface-atmosphere dynamics. A regional, seasonal Advection-Aridity model is used to create a monthly time-series of actual evapotranspiration for a period of 27 years at a...

introduction identification and analysis of time-series behavior of the climatic elements and processes upon them are the basic factors of climatology science and has an important role in management and environmental planning. in general, the behavior of climatic elements are observed in 3 form: trend, oscillation and fluctuation. these behaviors will help us to identify more the climate change...

Meteorological drought is among the key climate-related risks affecting Ethiopia. It indicates a shortage of precipitation over long period, usually for season or year. This study uses copula theory to analyze meteorological in upper Tekeze river basin, Northern part analysis using provides promising opportunity deal with such advance and improve sectoral resilience. In this study, long-year (1...

A stratification of a set, e.g. an analytic variety, is, roughly, a partition of it into manifolds so that these manifolds fit together “regularly”. Stratification theory was originated by Thom and Whitney for algebraic and analytic sets. It was one of the key ingredients in Mather’s proof of the topological stability theorem [Ma] (see [GM] and [PW] for the history and further applications of s...

BACKGROUND Research suggests that participants do not always adequately understand studies. While some consent interventions increase understanding, methodologic challenges have been raised in studying consent outside of actual trial settings. This study examined the feasibility of testing two consent interventions in actual studies and measured effectiveness of interventions in improving under...
