abstract climate change means a significant change in the long-term weather of a region in comparison with what has been observed during a long term period. precipitation and minimum and maximum temperature are three variables which are affected directly by the climate change. furthermore, the water yield of a river is one of the most important hydrological variables of a basin which is affecte...

When responding to a suddenly appearing stimulus, we are slower and/or less accurate when the stimulus occurs at the same location of a previous event than when it appears in a new location. This phenomenon, often referred to as inhibition of return (IOR), has fostered a huge amount of research in the last 20 years. In this selective review, which introduces a Special Issue of Cognitive Neurops...

The purpose of this study, is create a challenge and discussion concerning the existence of information about the Bitcoin price and return, which suggests the relationship of information and the strong performance it. The information trends are available at different time periods and the summary data related to the statistical descriptions for the price and return index are also discussed. In t...

The aim of this study is to investigate the seismicity of Aşkale County which is located 45 km from Erzurum city in eastern Turkey, a statistical frequency analysis is applied for the annual maximum earthquake magnitudes, occurred between 1900 – 2014 years in the seismotectonic zones around Aşkale County, using various probability distribution models (GEV, Gumbel, Gamma and Pearson III). The go...

accurate estimate of flood flows at selected return periods is a fundamental step in flood control and design of hydraulic structures. due to the inadequacy or unavailability of flood flow records in several western catchments of iran, traditional regional flood frequency methods lead to remarkable estimate errors, particularly for long return periods. in this research, discriminant analysis is...

In order to examine the relationship between rainfall return periods and flood periods, design storm approach is compared rainfall–runoff continuous simulation frequency analysis approach. The former was based on event-based hydrological simulations, while latter simulations analysis. All were undertaken employing HEC-HMS software. For analysis, Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) probability distr...

The distribution of outliers is used as a tool for finding the extreme value distribution of meteorological parameters and to provide return values for large return periods from short records. Its potential is demonstrated for five cases. For extreme winds in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) the method shows that appropriately transformed annual maximum wind speeds can be described by a Gumbel dist...
