In this study, a regional climate model (RCM) is employed to investigate the effect of irrigation on hydrology over California through implementing a “realistic irrigation” scheme. Our results indicate that the RCMwith a realistic irrigation scheme commonly practiced in California can capture the soil moisture and evapotranspiration (ET) variation very well in comparison with the available in s...

This paper presents a method for agents’ knowledge representation by using semantic network with node and links activation level defined on the instance, concept, relation and axiom level. The first part shortly presents the state-of-the-art in the considered field; next, the CIMIS prototype is shortly characterized; the formal definition of a method for agents’ knowledge representation is pres...

abstract evapotranspiration as one of the most important components of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources management, crop yield simulation and irrigation scheduling. therefore, presenting a low cost and precision model is very essential for calculations of hourly eto. although, there are empirical formulas, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicat...

Hydro-agrological research considers the reference evapotranspiration (ETo), driven by meteorological variables, crucial for achieving precise irrigation in precision agriculture. ETo modelling based on a single parameter would be beneficial places where collection of climatic parameters is challenging. The aim this to develop deep neural network (DNN) architecture that predicts daily with inpu...

A stand of five conifers (Pinus sp.) bordering a gasoline service station was studied to estimate the methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) emission rate from gasoline-impacted groundwater. Groundwater was impacted with gasoline oxygenates MTBE and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) at combined concentrations exceeding 200,000 microg/L. Condensate from trees was collected in sealed environmental chambers and an...

Abstract It is undeniable that there are a large number of redundant nodes in wireless sensor network. These cause colossal waste resources and seriously threaten the life In this paper, we provide optimization selection algorithm based on graph for large-scale Firstly, propose representation-clustering joint Graph Neural Network to partition into several subgraphs. Then, use Singular-Value-QR ...

Abstract California has a highly developed agriculture system, but it faces many challenges associated with water supply and quality. This research examines the relationship between agricultural use quality at multiple scales, including comparison of southern northern California, analysis seven regions, four counties within Central Valley, which accounts for more than 70% in state. Statistical ...

Research investigating the efficacy of infant massage has largely focused on premature and low birth weight infants. The majority of investigations have neglected highly acute patients in academic neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The current study was developed with two aims: (Phase 1) to develop, implement and demonstrate the feasibility and safety of a parent-trained compassionate touch...

We examined trends in accumulated winter chill across the fruit growing region of central California and its internal coastal valleys. We tested the hypothesis that global warming is in motion in California and is causing accumulated winter chill to decrease across the fruit and nut growing regions of California. The detection of potential trends in accumulated winter chill (between 0 and 7.2°C...
