The objective of the study was to configure Hydrological Modeling System (HEC-HMS) in such a way that it could simulate all-important hydrological components (e.g., streamflow, soil moisture, snowmelt water, terrestrial water storage, baseflow, surface flow, and evapotranspiration) Three-River Headwater Region. However, problem we faced unsatisfactory simulations these components, except stream...

Geographically isolated wetlands (GIW), depressional landscape features entirely surrounded by upland areas, provide a wide range of ecological functions and ecosystem services for humanwell-being. Current and future ecosystem management and decision-making rely on a solid scientific understanding of how hydrologic processes affect these important GIW services and functions, and in turn on how ...

Mosquitoes and mosquitoborne disease transmission are sensitive to hydrologic variability. If local hydrologic conditions can be monitored or modeled at the scales at which these conditions affect the population dynamics of vector mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit, a means for monitoring or modeling mosquito populations and mosquitoborne disease transmission may be realized. We review h...

Climate changes significantly cause the precipitation deficiency and in turn reduce inflow amount reservoir affecting hydroelectric power generation. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate hydropower generation operation under climate change from Kesem reservoir. Recent Representative Pathway (RCP) scenarios were used impact on Power transformation equation variance scaling approac...

Driven by the needs of engineered underground systems, the field of rock mechanics is evolving to address the interactions of in situ mechanical, thermal, hydrologic, and chemical processes and their effects on system performance. Important technical issues include understanding how the relevant loads and gradients drive in situ processes; rock mass variability, discontinuity, and heterogeneity...

Ž . A Holonic Manufacturing System HMS is a manufacturing system where key elements, such as machines, cells, factories, parts, products, operators, teams, etc., are modeled as ‘holons’ having autonomous and cooperatiÕe properties. The decentralized information structure, the distributed decision-making authority, the integration of physical and informational aspects, and the cooperative relati...

Previously, we showed that ethanol increases synaptic glycine currents, an effect that depends on ethanol concentration and developmental age of the preparation. Glycine receptor (GlyR) subunits undergo a shift from alpha2/beta to alpha1/beta from neonate to juvenile ages, with synaptic glycine currents from neonate hypoglossal motoneurons (HMs) being less sensitive to ethanol than those from j...

A computer network management system presents one manager and several agents. The management of large networks demands much computer resources and management system capacity, impossible to achieve with just one manager. The TMN standard, that intends to standardize management systems for telecommunication networks offering those resources, already foresees the use of several managers organized ...
