      Sherman, Bernard; Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, 1976-10)
      The overland flow on an infiltrating converging surface is studied. Mathematical solutions are developed to study the effect of infiltration on nonlinear overland flow dynamics. To develop mathematical solutions, ...
    • A distributed converging overland flow model: 3. Application to Natural Watersheds 
      Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, 1976-10)
      The proposed distributed converging overland flow model is utilized to predict surface runoff from three natural agricultural watersheds. The Lax-Wendroff scheme is used to obtain numerical solutions. For determination of ...
    • Downstream hydraulic geometry relations: 1. Theoretical development 
      Singh, Vijay P.; Yang, Chih Ted; Deng, Z. Q. (American Geophysical Union, 2003-12-04)
      In this study, it is hypothesized that (1) the spatial variation of the stream power of a channel for a given discharge is accomplished by the spatial variation in channel form (flow depth and channel width) and hydraulic ...
    • Downstream hydraulic geometry relations: 2. Calibration and testing 
      Singh, Vijay P.; Yang, Chih Ted; Deng, Zhi-Qiang (American Geophysical Union, 2003-12-04)
      Using 456 data sets under bank-full conditions obtained from various sources, the geometric relations, derived in part 1 [ Singh et al., 2003 ], are calibrated and verified using the split sampling approach. The calibration ...
    • EFFICIENT POLYNOMIAL ROOT ISOLATION APPLIED TO COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY 
      Lamkin, Jordan (2019-11-14)
      Over the last several years, the field of polynomial root isolation has been rapidly improving, but the computational geometry applications have been somewhat unexplored. Here, we have an implementation of a curve ...
    • An entropy-based morphological analysis of river basin networks 
      Fiorentino, Mauro; Claps, Pierluigi; Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, 1993-04)
      Under the assumption that the only information available on a drainage basin is its mean elevation, the connection between entropy and potential energy is explored to analyze drainage basins morphological characteristics. ...
    • Evaluación y Administración del Estado de Riesgo de las Cadenas de Suministro por COVID-19 entre México y Estados Unidos: Presentación y Mesa Panel 
      Medina-Cetina, Zenon; Duran Sierra, Guillermo; Zarate-Losoya, Enrique; Alvarado, Juan Pablo; Pompelli, Gregory; Cochran, Matt; Olivares, Miriam; Perez-Patron, Maria Jose (Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory, 2021-05-20)
      During this presentation, members of the Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory at Texas A&M University presented their work of two different research projects. The projects, hosted at the Center Of Excellence CBTS are related ...
    • A fractional dispersion model for overland solute transport 
      Deng, Zhi-Qiang; de Lima, M. Isabel P.; Singh, Vijay P.; de Lima, Jo?�o L. M. P. (American Geophysical Union, 2006-03-18)
      Using the kinematic-wave overland flow equation and a fractional dispersion-advection equation, a process-oriented, physically-based model is developed for overland solute transport. Two scenarios, one consisting of downslope ...
    • Fundamentals of Cybersecurity 
      Ritchey, Phillip (2021-12-01)
      Fundamentals of Cybersecurity is an undergraduate course presented by Dr. Phillip Ritchey. In this collection, material from the 18 modules presented during Summer 2021 are included as part of the National Science Foundation ...
    • Fuzzy decision and control, the Bayes context 
      Painter, John H. (IEEE, 1993-12-15)
      This paper shows how it is that fuzzy control may be viewed as a particular kind of stochastic (Bayesian) control. With the Bayes approach, fuzzy control may be viewed as an ensembled-average control, where the average is ...
    • A fuzzy-tuned adaptive Kalman filter 
      Painter, John H.; Young Hwan Lho (IEEE, 1993-12-01)
      In this paper, fuzzy processing is applied to the adaptive Kalman filter. The filter gain coefficients are adapted over a 50 dB range of unknown signal/noise dynamics, using fuzzy membership functions. Specific simulation ...
    • Granulometric characterization of sediments transported by surface runoff generated by moving storms 
      de Lima, J. L. M. P.; Souza, C. C. S.; Singh, V. P. (Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union and the American Geophysical Union, 2008-12-16)
      Due to the combined effect of wind and rain, the importance of storm movement to surface flow has long been recognized, at scales ranging from headwater scales to large basins. This study presents the results of laboratory ...
    • Hybrid fuzzy and optimal modeling for water quality evaluation 
      Wang, Dong; Singh, Vijay P.; Zhu, Yuansheng (American Geological Union, 2007-05-08)
