present study examines whether there is any beneficial effect of magnetized water application on seedling emergence of maize seeds. water from various sources like tap water, saline water (1,500 ppm), canal water, and sewerage water was treated magnetically by passing it through 235 mt magnetic fields at 3 lpm flow rate. seeds were soaked in water for 24 hours and planted in sand culture. numbe...

MOC3D is a general-purpose computer model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for simulation of three-dimensional solute transport in ground water (Konikow and others, 1996). The model is an update to the widely used USGS two-dimensional solutetransport model (MOC) and is implemented as an optional “package” for the ground-water flow model MODFLOW (Harbaugh and McDonald, 1996). Direc...

phytoplankton and zooplankton concentrations in pishin reservoir are predicted employing a three-dimensional numerical model in this paper. modeling is performed using a numerical model based on mass transport equation. advection, diffusion and source/sink processes are considered as separate subroutines for predicting the concentrations of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the reservoir. finite...

We revisit the pairwise kidney exchange problem established by Roth Sonmez and Unver [23]. Our goal, explained in terms of graph theory, is to find a maximum fractional matching on an undirected graph, that Lorenz-dominates any other fractional matching. The Lorenz-dominant fractional matching, which can be implemented as a lottery of integral matchings, is in some sense the fairest allocation ...

Analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. Thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. This paper compares the performance of chaos theory with Anfis model and discusses ...

the spatial distribution of petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is one of the most importantfactors in reservoir characterization. flow units are the continuous body over a specific reservoirvolume within which the geological and petrophysical properties are the same. accordingly, anaccurate prediction of flow units is a major task to achieve a reliable petrophysical description of a...

The nonlinear solvers in numerical solution of water flow in variably saturated soils are prone to convergence difficulties. Many aspects can give rise to such difficulties, like very dry initial conditions, a steep pressure gradient and great variation of hydraulic conductivity occur across the wetting front during the infiltration of water.  So, the averaging method applied to compute hydraul...

Investigating the features and flow behavior and related component is one of the complex phenomena that make using of software inevitable. The rivers carry sediment content along with water which is created by erosion of riverbed sediment and erosion caused by rainfall or surface runoff flowing over the catchment area. If the action of river dewatering occurs, the entry of sediment into the int...
