There is strong empirical evidence on the importance of spatial pattern vegetation in dryland hydrologic and geomorphologic dynamics. However, changes cover are often linked, making it difficult to disentangle assess their independent hydro-geomorphologic roles. We used synthetic sponges placed soil surface mimic aboveground structure patches, manipulated patch as well sink capacity patches a s...

The objective of this study is to generate a flood hazard map based on geomorphologic approach employing Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) DEM and satellite image data (ASTER and LANDSAT). Supervised classification of satellite images is implemented to characterize land cover types. Moreover, the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) is undertaken to identify moist surface o...

Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than one. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the stability and efficiency of the transmission network or correction may be installed by individual electrical customers to reduce the costs...
