Assessment of New Esna barrage impacts on groundwater and proposed measures
Abstract Nile valley quaternary aquifer is in direct hydraulic interaction with Nile River, canals and drains. Therefore, implementation of new Esna barrage leads to enhancement of seepage flow from Nile River toward adjacent agricultural lands,...

Experience on the Development of a Thermo-chemical Storage System Based on Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide
Abstract Closed sorption heat storage opens up a way to achieve seasonal thermal storage without loss during storage. Thermal energy is not stored as sensible heat or latent heat, but by the separation of substances. In this manner it is possible to ...

Estimating Solar Radiation from MODIS Data
Abstract The assessment of the solar energy resources over large areas and the elaboration of solar radiation maps are nowdays conducted using satellite derived information. Among the existing methodologies, those based on parametric models to...

Seismic earth pressures on flexible cantilever retaining walls with deformable inclusions
Abstract In this study, the results of 1-g shaking table tests performed on small-scale flexible cantilever wall models retaining composite backfill made of a deformable geofoam inclusion and granular cohesionless material were presented. Two...

Mineral inclusions in rutile: A novel recorder of HP-UHP metamorphism
Abstract The ability to accurately constrain the secular record of high- and ultra-high pressure metamorphism on Earth is potentially hampered as these rocks are metastable and prone to retrogression, particularly during exhumation. Rutile is among...

Development of an open-source road traffic noise model for exposure assessment
Abstract This paper describes the development of a model for assessing TRAffic Noise EXposure (TRANEX) in an open-source geographic information system. Instead of using proprietary software we developed our own model for two main reasons: 1) so that ...

Water Distribution Network Sectorisation Using Structural Graph Partitioning and Multi-objective Optimization
Abstract Partitioning a water distribution network (WDN) into smaller sub-networks (called district metered areas, or DMAs) is a strategy to manage its complexity. A number of requirements for WDN partitioning make existing graph partitioning...

Temperature Dependent Power Modeling of Photovoltaics
Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) systems in the USA are often perceived as useful only in warm and sunny climate regions. However, PV systems can be installed and operated in cold regions as well, including places that get snow. Sunlight is the source of...

Numerical estimates of the maximum sustainable pore pressure in anticline formations using the tensor based concept of pore pressure-stress coupling
Abstract The advanced tensor based concept of pore pressure-stress coupling is used to provide pre-injection analytical estimates of the maximum sustainable pore pressure change, ΔP c, for fluid injection scenarios into generic...

Lithium-ion Battery SoC Estimation with UKF and RTOS μCOS-II Platform
Abstract To develop a battery management system for lithium-Ion batteries used in electric vehicles, the state of charge (SoC) estimation is improved with an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) and realized with the RTOS μCOS-II platform. The Kalman...

A study of the validation of atmospheric CO2 from satellite hyper spectral remote sensing
Abstract Three total column dry-air mole fractions of CO2 (XCO2) products from satellite retrievals, namely SCIAMACHY, NIES-GOSAT, and ACOS-GOSAT, in the Northern Hemisphere were validated by ground data from the Total Carbon Column Observing...

Verification of a laboratory-based dilation model for in situ conditions using continuum models
Abstract With respect to constitutive models for continuum modeling applications, the post-yield domain remains the area of greatest uncertainty. Recent studies based on laboratory testing have led to the development of a number of models for...
