Urban drainage systems are frequently analysed using hydraulic modelling software packages such as InfoWorks CS or MIKE-Urban. The use of such modelling tools allows the evaluation of sewer capacity and the likelihood and impact of pluvial flood events. Models can also be used to plan major investments such as increasing storage capacity or the implementation of sustainable urban drainage syste...

The sedimentation basin is an important part of hydraulic engineering. Because the prototype size too large and not easy to analyze, Mike 21 has advantages input, conversion, analysis, demonstration data results, which are flexible convenient; however, this method been used in engineering by previous researchers. This research Yellow River Diversion Project as object, a simulation model channel...

Urban drainage systems are in transition from functioning simply as a transport system to becoming an important element of urban flood protection measures providing considerable influence on infrastructure sustainability. Rapid urbanization combined with the implications climate change is one major emerging challenges. The increased concerns water security and ageing existing new challenges imp...

Mike Greenberg Harvard Medical School Mike Greenberg grew up in Brooklyn, New York, but has lived and worked in the Boston area for the last 30 years. He is currently the Nathan Marsh Pusey Professor of Neurobiology and Chair of the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. His scientific passion is to understand how genes and the environment (nature and nurture) are intertwined at ...

Mike Levine is at the University of California, Berkeley where he is coDirector of the newly formed Center for Integrative Genomics. He obtained his Ph.D. from Yale University with Alan Garen studying steroid-regulated gene expression in Drosophila larvae. As a Jane Coffin Childs fellow he did postdoctoral research with Walter Gehring at the University of Basel in 1982. After a second short pos...

In this research, a flood control operating strategy is developed based on simulation-optimization model to reduce damage downstream of multi-reservoir systems by using spillway gates. For purpose, an optimization algorithm introduced, in which the maximum water level points and hydropower potential generation season are objective functions, stages gates decision variables. A global tool, Shuff...

“Since we are diurnal, colour-vision mammals, the photographs we chose tend to depict species that are brightly coloured”, they write. “As a result, the particular ledger of species we chose is biased in favour of those that warn potential predators to stay away, and their mimics.” But the authors point out that so little work has been done on these species that it is hard to know which are gen...
