Abstract. One of the major problems in using wind energy is that wind-generated electricity is more unstable than electricity generated by other sources, and therefore integrating wind energy use with traditional power generation systems can be a challenge. This problem can be effectively reduced by having accurate information about the mean and wind speed volatilities. Therefore, in this paper...

Microbial transport in soil is critical in different ways, especially in groundwater contamination and bioremediation of groundwater or soil. The main objectives of this research were quantitative study of bacterial transport and deposition under saturated conditions in calcareous soils. A series of column leaching experiments were conducted. Breakthrough curves (BTCs) of Pseudomonas fluorescen...

     Due to the important role of non-point source pollution in water resources management, in this study time series modeling was applied to forecast water quality parameters and L-THIA model (one type of non-point source pollution models) was applied to estimate water pollutants. The purpose of this study was to compare results of L-THIA model and ARIMA models in Namrood sub-basin located in ...
