Rainfall-runoff modeling in a flashy tropical watershed using the distributed HL-RDHM model
Summary Many watersheds in Hawai‘i are flash flood prone due to their small contributing areas and frequent intense rainfall. Motivated by the possibility of developing an operational flood forecasting system, this study evaluated the performance of ...

Modelling Pressure Deficient Water Distribution Networks in EPANET
Abstract Nodal outflows in a pressure deficient water distribution network depend on available nodal heads. Thus, node-head flow relationship exists at each node which are solved along with other appropriate equations for simulation. While using...

Integrated assessment of climate impacts and adaptation in the energy sector
Abstract From an engineering perspective, climate change can affect the energy sector in a number of ways, such as changes in the efficiency of power plants and increases in peak demand due to higher cooling demand in hotter summers. This article...

Modification of a fire drought index for tropical wetland ecosystems by including water table depth
Abstract In this paper, we discuss how an existing empirical drought index, i.e. the Keetch–Byram Drought Index (KBDI) that is commonly used for assessing forest fire danger, has been adjusted and modified for improved use in tropical wetland...

Species distribution modelling for Rhipicephalus microplus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Benin, West Africa: Comparing datasets and modelling algorithms
Abstract Rhipicephalus microplus is one of the most widely distributed and economically important ticks, transmitting Babesia bigemina, B. bovis and Anaplasma marginale. It was recently introduced to West Africa on live animals ...

Explosive volcanic activity on Venus: The roles of volatile contribution, degassing, and external environment
Abstract We investigate the conditions that will promote explosive volcanic activity on Venus. Conduit processes were simulated using a steady-state, isothermal, homogeneous flow model in tandem with a degassing model. The response of exit pressure, ...
