In this paper, we develop a simple analysis method to infer some properties of the watershed processes from daily streamflow data. The method is built on a simple streamflow model with a link to rainfall stochasticity, which characterizes the streamflow as ...
This numerical investigation was carried out to advance mechanistic understanding of sediment transport under sheet flow conditions. An Euler-Euler coupled two-phase flow model was developed to simulate fluid-sediment oscillatory sheet flow. Since the conc ...
A series of flume experiments were conducted to study the effect of bed form dynamics on the flow over a gravel bed comprising a wide distribution of grain sizes. Instantaneous high-frequency streamwise flow velocities were sampled using an acoustic Dopple ...
Riparian vegetation dynamics in Alpine rivers are to a large extent driven by the timing and magnitude of floods which inundate the floodplain, transport sediment, erode the river bed, and create and destroy suitable germination sites. Here we present a st ...
In this paper, we derive an explicit form of the convolution theorem for functions on an n-sphere. Our motivation comes from the design of a probability density estimator for n-dimensional random vectors. We propose a probability density function (pdf) est ...

It was found recently that processes of multidimensional tunneling are generally described at high energies by unstable semiclassical trajectories. We study two observational signatures related to the instability of trajectories. First, we find an addition ...
Seiche-induced turbulence and the vertical distribution of dissolved oxygen above and within the sediment were analyzed to evaluate the sediment oxygen uptake rate (J(O2)), diffusive boundary layer thickness (delta(DBL)), and sediment oxic zone depth (z(ma ...
It is known that thermal perception influences occupants’ adaptive actions in buildings which in turn influence their thermal satisfaction. During recent years there has thus been a growing interest in the development of models which predict occupants ther ...
We present the optical tomography of the probability density of quasiparticles, the microcavity polaritons, confined in three dimensions by cylindrical traps. Collecting the photoluminescence emitted by the quasimodes under continuous nonresonant laser exc ...
We investigate the problem of optimal risk sharing between agents endowed with cash-invariant choice functions which are law-invariant with respect to different reference probability measures. We motivate a discrete setting both from an operational and a t ...
