Resettlement Following the 2010 Merapi Volcano Eruption
Abstract The 2010 Merapi eruption resulted in almost 400,000 internally displaced persons and around 2,200 families lost their houses. The rehabilitation and reconstruction was carried out by relocating victims of the affected area into safer zones...

Simulation and Evaluation of Solar Thermal Combi Systems with Direct Integration of Solar Heat into the Space Heating Loop
Abstract Usually, solar heat in combi systems is used via a buffer storage. In contrast to that, the solar collectors may be connected directly to the space heating circuit in order to store the heat in the building itself. Such a direct solar...

Comparison of Machine Learning Techniques and Variables for Groundwater Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Prediction in an Urban Area
Abstract Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) are typically the main focus of nutrient management strategies; however, some studies have found that dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) can be the dominant form of total nitrogen (TN) in several Australian...

Microzonation Study on the Western Area of Napoli
Abstract A rational evaluation of the seismic risk of urban areas cannot neglect the variability of the ground motion due to site amplification and the induced effects, such as soil liquefaction and slope stability. In this framework, the...

Study on sulfur deposition damage model of fractured gas reservoirs with high-content H2S
Abstract Due to extreme poison, strong corrosion, and complex precipitation and deposition of H2S in the reservoir, it is very difficult and risky to investigate and explore drilling, completion, production and gas transportation. In the course of...

Seize the right wave by empirical statistics: the wave energy resource assessment and the use of existing marine and coastal potential compatibility
Abstract In competition with other resources, ocean waves provide abundant supply of clean, safe, and reliable energy, but this source needs to be made an economical source for natural energy harvest. For this purpose, a wave energy conversion...

Evaluation of Probabilistic Streamflow Forecasts Based on EPS for a Mountainous Basin in Turkey
Abstract When designing water structures or managing a watershed it is a challenging task to determine the response of a basin to storm and/or snowmelt. In this study, the Upper Euphrates Basin (10,275 km2 area and elevation range of 1125-3500 m)...
