Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Long range experimental hydrologic forecasting for the eastern U.S. [PDF]

, 2002
We explore a strategy for long-range hydrologic forecasting that uses ensemble climate model forecasts as input to a macroscale hydrologic model to produce runoff and streamflow forecasts at spatial and temporal scales appropriate for water management ...

Assessment of apparent nonstationarity in time series of annual inflow, daily precipitation, and atmospheric circulation indices: A case study from southwest Western Australia [PDF]

, 2010
The southwest region of Western Australia has experienced a sustained sequence of low annual inflows to major water supply dams over the past 30 years. Until recently, the dominant interpretation of this phenomenon has been predicated on the existence of

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation on the Progressive Breaking Law of Thick and Hard Rock Strata in Deep Mining

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This work reveals the “C‐Y,” double “Y,” “π,” and “Y” fracture modes of thick, hard strata and their progressive breaking process (O‐F‐R/S mode), providing a theoretical basis for controlling strong ground pressure in deep mining. ABSTRACT In response to the dynamic hazards caused by the fracture of thick‐hard strata in deep mining, this study ...

Integrating Remote Sensing and Machine Learning for Enhanced Surface Urban Heat Island Analysis and Its Impact on Building Energy Demand

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Satellite (MODIS) mapping links Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity to city‐scale energy demand—higher daytime cooling demand and altered nighttime heating demand—supporting targeted mitigation and planning. ABSTRACT This study examines the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect on building energy consumption in Tehran from 1998 to 2024, utilizing MODIS

Oxidative Treatment for Reducing Persistent Populations of Escherichia coli Under Amoxicillin and Gentamicin Pressure

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) with methylene blue and 660 nm LED enhances antibiotic killing of bacteria, accelerating time‐kill kinetics and reducing the MDK99 compared to antibiotics alone. SEM confirms effective cellular damage, demonstrating that PDI potentiates amoxicillin and gentamicin against tolerant bacterial populations. ABSTRACT Bacterial

Genetic Programming for the Downscaling of Extreme Rainfall Events on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia

Atmosphere, 2014
A genetic programming (GP)-based logistic regression method is proposed in the present study for the downscaling of extreme rainfall indices on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, which is considered one of the zones in Malaysia most vulnerable to ...

Correcting Breaks in Temperature and Humidity Observations: Implications for Climate Variability Analysis in Austria

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
A 2‐h shift in the timing of evening observations in 1971 resulted in a discontinuity in the estimation of daily means of air temperature and humidity across all climate stations in Austria. This study employs hourly observations to, for the first time, comprehensively quantify and correct this break.

Evaluating downscaled products with expected hydroclimatic co-variances [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
There has been widespread adoption of downscaled products amongst practitioners and stakeholders to ascertain risk from climate hazards at the local scale (e.g., ∼ 5 km resolution).
