(2013-04-08)The one-dimensional (1D) power law velocity distribution, commonly used for computing velocities in open channel flow, has been derived empirically. However, a multitude of problems, such as scour around bridge piers, ...
-
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2012)The instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) is a commonly used method for computing surface runoff hydrographs from small watersheds. Assuming travel time as a random variable, a general equation for IUH is derived using the ...
-
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2010)Using the entropy theory, this study derives the stage‐discharge relation, often called the rating curve, which is based on two simple constraints: (1) the total probability and (2) the mean logarithmic discharge. Parameters ...

(2012-07-16)This work develops a discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization of non- linear hyperbolic conservation equations with efficient and robust high order stabilization built on an entropy-based artificial viscosity ...
-
(2011-11-21)In this paper, considering time-averaged velocity as a random variable, two-dimensional (2D) velocity distributions in open-channel flow have been derived based on the Shannon entropy concept and the principle of maximum ...
-
(2017-05-09)he energy for sustaining life is released through the oxidation of glucose, fats, and proteins. A part of the energy released within each cell is stored as chemical energy of Adenosine Tri- Phosphate molecules, which is ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)An entropy theory is formulated for modeling the potential rate of infiltration in unsaturated soils. The theory is composed of six parts: (1) Shannon entropy, (2) principle of maximum entropy (POME), (3) specification ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)An entropy theory is formulated for one‐dimensional movement of moisture in unsaturated soils in the vertically downward direction. The theory is composed of five parts: (1) Tsallis entropy, (2) principle of maximum entropy, ...
-
(2011-10-21)We investigate the genericity of measure-preserving actions of the free group Fn, on possibly countably infinitely many generators, acting on a standard probability space. Specifically, we endow the space of all ...
-
(2021-07-23)This dissertation explores the use of Shannon’s entropy and mutual information to quantify uncertainty and to support experimental planning and parameter selection in simulation models. The implications of uncertainty in ...
-
(2014-12-02)Drought is a deficiency in the hydro climatic variable of interest that is experienced for an extended period of time. In many parts of the world, it is a normal, recurring feature of climate and is therefore inevitable. ...
-
(2015-04-15)Entropy is a measure of uncertainty and has been commonly used for various applications, including probability inferences in hydrology. Copula has been widely used for constructing joint distributions to model the dependence ...

-
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)Synthetic streamflows at different sites in a river basin are needed for planning, operation, and management of water resources projects. Modeling the temporal and spatial dependence structure of monthly streamflow at ...
-
We investigate non-random quantum channels generated from the representation the- ory of orthogonal quantum groups to perform numerical computations for estimates of their minimum output entropies. In doing so, we address ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)What we shape is what we see. When we try to shape something without seeing it clearly, the probability of achieving a happy result is low. When we talk about "saving energy" what we usually mean is "not wasting work". ...
-
(2015-01-16)This study combines hydro-climatological and biological components for addressing variability in precipitation and vegetation patterns under climate change. We explore the marginal and interactive effects of vegetation and ...
-
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2010)An entropy theory is formulated for deriving infiltration equations for potential rate (or capacity) of infiltration in unsaturated soils. The theory is comprised of five parts: (1) Tsallis entropy, (2) principle of maximum ...
-
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2014)The flow duration curve (FDC) is employed for addressing a multitude of problems in water resources engineering, such as prediction of the distribution of future flows, forecasting of future recurrence frequencies, comparison ...
