Derivation of Rating Curves Using Entropy Theory
(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 ...
Entropy theory for movement of moisture in soils
(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, ...
Dimensionless analytical solutions for dam-breach erosion
(2010-01-19)
The earthen dam breach erosion is analyzed using dimensionless analytical solutions, with rectangular and triangular representations for the breach section. Data for the historical failures of South Fork and Teton Dams are ...
Tsallis Entropy Theory for Derivation of Infiltration Equations
(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 ...
Evaluation of Planetary Boundary Layer Scheme Sensitivities for the Purpose of Parameter Estimation
(American Meteorological Society, 2010-09-01)
Meteorological model errors caused by imperfect parameterizations generally cannot be overcome simply by optimizing initial and boundary conditions. However, advanced data assimilation methods are capable of extracting ...
Preservation of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin in the Digital Repository
(Taylor and Francis, 2010-04-23)
To assist agricultural librarians in their new role as digital preservation and distribution specialists, this article documents the basic procedures for scanning and digitizing print agricultural serial publications and ...
Observation of pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-) photoproduction in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV at the STAR detector
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We present a measurement of pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-) photonuclear production in ultraperipheral Au-Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment. The pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-) final states are observed at low ...
Charmonium in medium: From correlators to experiment
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We set up a framework in which in-medium charmonium properties are constrained by thermal lattice quantum chromodynamics and subsequently implemented into a thermal rate equation enabling the comparison with experimental ...
Charged and strange hadron elliptic flow in Cu plus Cu collisions at root s(NN)=62.4 and 200 GeV
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We present the results of an elliptic flow, v(2), analysis of Cu + Cu collisions recorded with the solenoidal tracker detector (STAR) at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at root s(NN) = 62.4 and 200 GeV. Elliptic ...
Measurement of the half-life of (198)Au in a nonmetal: High-precision measurement shows no host-material dependence
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We have measured the half-life of the beta(-) decay of (198)Au to be 2.6948(9)d, with the nuclide sited in an insulating environment. Comparing this result with the half-life we measured previously with a metallic environment, ...
