Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimation of Pan Evaporation Coefficient using Neuro-Genetic ApproachPakorn Ditthakit, Chaiyuth ChinnarasriProblem statement: The pan evaporation coefficient (Kp) is used to convert pan Evaporation (Ep) to reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) due to its simplicity and suitability for locations with limited availability of meteorological data. Approach: This study presents the use of neuro-genetic approach for estimating Kp for Class A pan and Colorado Sunken pan under green and dry fetch conditions. Results: Representative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComputing Evaporanspiraton from Weather Data Obtained from Distant, Non-Reference Weather Stations in a Hyper-Arid RegionElNesr Mohammad Nabil, Alazba Abdurrahman AliProblem statement: Reference agro-climatic Weather Stations (WS) are rarely found in newly reclaimed areas. The usage of weather data from non-reference WS may lead to inaccurate estimations of Evapo Transpiration (ET), especially if the non-reference stations are distant from the reclaimed location. Approach: Weather data from four WS located at Riyadh were used to calculate ET by using Penman Monteith … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2011 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReal Option Method and Escalation of Commitment in the Evaluation of Investment ProjectsMehrdad Karami, Farshid Ahmadi FarsaniProblem statement: This study applies an experimental method to find out whether using the real option method along with the discounted cash flow techniques can reduce the decision-makers’ Escalation of Commitment (EC hereafter) or their desire to keep up their commitment to a failed project. Approach: The real option method used for the evaluation of long-term projects also measures the … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2011 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite
