The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was calibrated for hydrology conditions in an agricultural watershed of Orestimba Creek, California, and applied to simulate fate and transport of two organophosphate pesticides chlorpyrifos and diazinon. The model showed capability in evaluating pesticide fate and transport processes in agricultural fields and instream network. Management-oriented sens...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Alignment of the glenoid component with the scapula during total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is challenging due to glenoid erosion and lack of both bone stock and guiding landmarks. We determined the extent to which the implant position is governed by the preoperative erosion of the glenoid. Also, we investigated whether excessive erosion of the glenoid is associated with...

Katabatic flows along a planar slope in a viscous stably-stratified fluid are investigated analytically and numerically, with an emphasis on flow features arising from the action of the Coriolis force. Two idealized flow types are considered: turbulent flow along a uniformly cooled slope, and two-dimensional laminar flow induced by a cold strip of finite width running down the slope. In the cas...

In this paper, a hybrid intelligent parameter estimation algorithm is proposed for predicting the strip temperature during laminar cooling process. The algorithm combines a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) with grey case-based reasoning (GCBR) in order to improve the precision of the strip temperature prediction. In this context, the hybrid genetic algorithm is formed by combining the genetic alg...

WinGeol/SedTec is a software package which simulates erosion and deposition in dependency of topography, fault movements, lithological properties and sea level. Sediment transport such as mass and suspension flows are induced by elevation or concentration differences between neighbouring cells. Grain size reduction during sediment transport is included into the model. The spatial distribution o...

This paper describes a generic algorithm for iso-line, iso-strip, iso-surface, and iso-volume visualization of unstructured 3D meshes, such as finite element models. The four types of visualization are integrated in the same data representation. Consequently iso-volume contouring is trivially implemented as a combination of iso-strip and iso-surface patches of surfaces. The algorithm can handle...

In this paper, we consider questions of inner regularity weak solutions initial-boundary value problems for the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation with two spatial variables. The initial function is assumed to be irregular, and main parameter governing decay rate at infinity. results paper are obtained problem on a half-strip. problem, different types conditions (e.g., Dirichlet or Neumann conditions)...

Closed-form analytical solutions for assessing the consequences of climate change on fresh groundwater oceanic island lenses have been developed by hydrogeologists during last decade. Based existing equations, this study focuses case strip islands when three combined effects are observed to affect freshwater lens volume and its resource renewal: sea-level rise, erosion, in recharge rates. New i...

We report on a comparative Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) multi-scale roughness analysis of cold rolled Al alloy and steel roll, in order to characterize the roughness transfer from the steel roll to the workpiece in cold strip rolling processes. More than three orders of length-scale magnitudes were investigated from 100 microns to 50 nanometers on both types of surfaces. The analysis reveals t...
