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...

existence of capacity drop phenomenon, as the difference between pre-queue and queue discharge flow rates, has been one of the controversial concepts of traffic engineering. several researches have focused on capacity drop existence and also its estimation issues. this paper aims to estimate capacity drop based not only on a comparison between breakdown and queue discharge flow rates, but also ...

although knowing the time of the occurrence of the earthquakes is vital and helpful, unfortunately it is still unpredictable. by the way there is an urgent need to find a method to foresee this catastrophic event. there are a lot of methods for forecasting the time of earthquake occurrence. another method for predicting that is to know probability density function of time interval between earth...

in this paper, we show that the chapman-kolmogorov formula could be used as a recursive formula for computing the m-step-ahead conditional density of a markov bilinear model. the stationary marginal probability density function of the model may be approximated by the m-step-ahead conditional density for sufficiently large m.

In this paper, we show that the Chapman-Kolmogorov formula could be used as a recursive formula for computing the m-step-ahead conditional density of a Markov bilinear model.

the square map is one of the functions used in cryptography. for instance, the square map is used in rabin encryption scheme, block cipher rc6 and stream cipher rabbit, in different forms. in this paper, we study statistical properties of the output of the square map as a vectorial boolean function. we obtain the joint probability distribution of arbitrary number of the upper and the lower bits...

in this paper, a new framework has been developed for compatibility analysis of predictive climatic variables distribution with reference evapotranspiration (eto) in probabilistic analysis of water requirement. initially, measured monthly meteorological data of four cities of iran including kerman, shiraz, ramsar and babolsar synoptic weather station recorded from 1961 to 2003 were considered b...
