Integrating hydrodynamic model and Monte Carlo simulation for predicting extreme water levels in a river system

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2019
Estimates of extreme water level return periods in river systems are crucial for hydraulic engineering design and planning. Recorded historical water level data of Taiwan’s rivers are not long enough for traditional frequency analyses when predicting ...

The Genus Hyalyris Boisduval, 1870 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Systematics, Taxonomy and Conservation

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The neotropical butterfly tribe Ithomiini (Danainae) comprises about 400 species distributed from Mexico to Northern Argentina, 58 of which occur in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Among these are two species assigned to the genus Hyalyris Boisduval, 1870: Hyalyris fiammetta (Hewitson, 1852) and Hyalyris leptalina (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1865).

Detection of Linkage Between Solar and Lunar Cycles and Runoff of the World's Large Rivers

Earth and Space Science, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 914-930, June 2019., 2019
Abstract It is an ongoing concern that global hydrological cycle can be likely intensified under context of climate change and anthropogenic actions. Here, our results show that the solar and lunar periodic motions (SLPMs) have substantial impact on the runoff of the world's large rivers. We estimate that SLPMs can produce a change of the world's large

Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube‐Modified Carbon Paste Electrode for Fipronil Detection in Environmental Samples

Electroanalysis, Volume 37, Issue 7, July 2025.
A nanostructured carbon paste sensor modified with 20% multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was developed for the detection of Fipronil. The sensor showed enhanced electrochemical performance, with a limit of detection of 0.377 µmol L‐1. It demonstrated good stability, selectivity, and high recovery in water samples, highlighting the potential of ...

The Last Mile: Safety Management Implementation in Construction Sites

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
To deepen the understanding of the construction safety accidents rules as well as identify and cure the crux of construction safety management failures in China, we analyzed the status quo of safety management and identified the “last mile” problem, that is, the failure of implementation of the extensive legal and regulatory systems on the construction

Precise assessment of flood risk and accurate allocation of disaster relief funds through a fuzzy set approach

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 17, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract The traditional flood hazard assessment system for emergency departments is based on the average hazard index of administrative regions. However, this approach may overlook errors with significant hazards caused by the transition from watershed hazard maps to administrative hazard maps.

“Captains of the Sands”: Urban Illicit Ecologies and Sandscapes in Rio de Janeiro

Antipode, Volume 56, Issue 5, Page 1775-1801, September 2024.
Abstract Urban Political Ecology (UPE) has explored human–soil relations, emphasising the political dimensions of environmental degradation in and through urbanisation. However, UPE lacks critical reflection on governance collusions with illicit actors.

Spatio-Temporal Variation of Water Quality in the Guandu River Basin: an Approach to Water Resources Management

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution
Abstract Efficient water resources management relies on spatiotemporal water quality analysis, particularly in the Guandu River basin, the main water supply source for the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region. This study aims to perform a spatiotemporal analysis of water quality parameters and indices in the Guandu River basin ...

Reservoir Mud Releasing May Suboptimize Fluvial Sand Supply to Coastal Sediment Budget: Modeling the Impact of Shihmen Reservoir Case on Tamsui River Estuary

Water Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Regular release of sediment from reservoir has been increasingly adopted as a strategy for sustainable management. Here, we use a process‐based morphodynamic model to simulate the estuarine sediment dynamics impacted by turbidity current venting implemented by the Shihmen Reservoir during three typhoon events in 2008.
