Understanding the variations of streamflow of rivers is an important prerequisite for designing hydraulic structures as well as managing surface water resources in basins. An overview of the impact of climate change on the streamflow in the Hablehroud River, the main river of a semi-arid basin in north-central Iran, is provided. Using the LARS-WG statistical downscaling model, the outputs of Ha...

abstract soil temperature is one of the key parameters affecting most hydrologic and agricultural processes. therefore, its measurement and prediction is very crucial. so far, the statistical regression methods have been used for estimation of soil temperature for specific location encountering with lack or shortage of data. in this work, soil temperature data are estimated at six different dep...

abstract background and purpose:climate change has an important role on the health and productivity of the occupant of the building. the objective of this study is to estimate the effects of climate change on thermal comfort in hot and wet areas, as in the case of the city of douala. materials and methods:the general circulation model (csmk3 model, scenario b1) was adopted for this purpose.outd...

the air temperature trend has been increasing during recent decades, especially in the regions such as iran which is located in dry and semi-dry world belt. in this research we used markov chain to obtain probabilities of heat waves with different continues in kerman province using 20 years daily maximum air temperature data during 1986-2005. we analyzed daily maximum air temperature data of 5 ...

Revision history Revision 0 (3 May 2006) First revision Revision 1 (10 June 2006) Incorporated comments from May 2006 CAP WG changed to SET/REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER commands instead of the Device Identification VPD page 83h. Revision 2 (7 September 2006) Incorporated comments from July 2006 CAP WG renamed to SET/REPORT IDENTIFYING INFORMATION to avoid overuse of “identifier”, increased the info...

The development of the Drosophila leg requires both Decapentaplegic (Dpp) and Wingless (Wg), two signals that establish the proximo-distal (PD) axis by activating target genes such as Distalless (Dll). Dll expression in the leg depends on a Dpp- and Wg-dependent phase and a maintenance phase that is independent of these signals. Here, we show that accurate Dll expression in the leg results from...

in highland watersheds, runoff generated by snow melting plays an important role in stream water supply. srm (snowmelt runoff model) is a hydrologic model which simulates and predicts daily flow in mountain watersheds dominated by snow melting process. the srm is based on the degree-day procedure which, is a widely used method but does not consider physical factors. in the current research, the...

Pseudorandom number generators play an important role to provide security and privacy on radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. In particular, the EPC Class 1 Generation 2 (EPC C1 Gen2) standard uses a pseudorandom number generator in the tag identification protocol. In this paper, we first present a pseudorandom number generator, named the filtering nonlinear feedback shift register using...
