Antecedent moisture conditions are essential in explaining differences the translation of flood-producing precipitation to floods. This study proposes an empirical residual-oriented antecedent index (RAPI) estimate and further link with flood predictive uncertainty. By developing a fully kernel-based residual error model without functional presumptions, proposed RAPI is calibrated as regressor ...

Abstract. Future climate scenarios for the Mediterranean region indicate a possible decrease in annual precipitation associated with an intensification of extreme rainfall events coming years. A major challenge this is to evaluate impacts changing patterns on hydrological such as droughts and floods. For this, it important understand impact change soil moisture since proxy agricultural droughts...

results amc-susceptible esbl-producing escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae and k. oxytoca were identified as the causative agents in 31, 14, and 1 patients, respectively. thirty-nine (84.7%) out of 46 patients were successfully treated with oral amc. additionally, 2 (4.3%) patients’ urine cultures turned to be negative, though their clinical complaints and leukocyturia had continued. in the...

the objective of this research was to study the drying characteristics of powderedagricultural residues. drying experiments of wheat straw (triticum aestivum) wereconducted at four temperatures of 50, 60, 70, and 80°c by a thermogravimetric analyzer.drying temperature had a significant effect on the moisture change and drying time.there was no constant drying rate period, but a short rising rat...

For the eventual purpose of developing a generalized method for predicting precipitation from assumed accurate prognoses of the required meteorological element,s, a preliminary investigation is made of the contemporary relntionship between precipitation and the fields of moisture and wind in the atmosphere. Procedures are developed for calculating the rate of precipitation by computing the dive...

In this paper, we propose a cross-layer design which combines adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) at the physical layer with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol at the data link layer to minimize the packet error rate (PER) and maximize the spectral efficiency. By using Markov model to predict the channel condition of next frame according to the second order statistics characteri...
