Abstract: An entropy-based method is developed for estimating parameters of the four-parameter kappa distribution. Using four sets of data on annual maximum rainfall and on annual peak flow discharge, the entropy-based method is ...

Abstract: Light-driven photostrictive actuators can induce control actions for wireless non-contact actuation and control of precision structures and systems. Conventional distributed actuators laminated on ...

Abstract: Using a new channel shape equation for straight channels and a more versatile channel shape or local flow depth equation for natural streams a method is developed for prediction of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient ...
