the response of karoun basin in lumped and semi-distributed simulation were compared. also, the flood intensity of the sub-basins and the effects of physical parameters on flood hydrograph have been investigated. results demonstrated that there was no significant difference between the characteristics of flood hydrograph in lumped and semi-distributed simulation. also, results showed that the f...

Genetic variability of eight Colombian field populations and two laboratory colonies of a tropical forest sand fly, Lutzomyia shannoni Dyar, was assessed by comparing allozyme frequencies at 20 enzyme loci. Substantial genetic variability was noted in all strains, with mean heterozygosities of 13-21% and alleles per locus of 2.0-2.8. Four loci were monomorphic. Six populations in north and cent...

Many studies have been conducted on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps over horizontal basins. On sloping basins, however, few such studies have been performed so that the issue requires more investigation. A significant number of studies has also been conducted on basins with positive slopes but comparatively few have been carried out on basins with negative slopes. This study was carried ...

Storm water drainage catch basins provide habitat to a variety of different aquatic organisms including arthropods, molluscs and annelid worms. Arthropods such as mosquitoes are known to use these environments as larval habitat. Because of health concerns, catch basins are often targeted for mosquito control exposing all inhabitants to pesticides such as methoprene or BTI. In this paper we desc...

one of the major issues in dam construction is water seepage, post impounding. assessment and prediction of the amount of waterleakage can be useful in preventing such events. the seymareh dam has been constructed on the seymareh river in ilam province,southwest of iran. the dam controls the floods and generates hydroelectric power. it is already under impoundment and the seepageproblem is bein...

Outputs from the regional climate model Modèle Atmosphérique Régionale at a spatial resolution of 25 km are used to study 21st century projected surface mass balance (SMB) over six major drainage basins of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). The regional model is forced with the outputs of three different Earth System Models (CanESM2, NorESM1 and MIROC5) obtained when considering two greenhouse gas...
