Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRainfall Depth-Duration-Frequency Relationships for South Carolina, North Carolina, and GeorgiaJ. P. Raiford, N.M. Aziz, A.A. Khan, D.N. PowellThe depth-duration-frequency curves and isopluvial maps for the region encompassing South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia were developed using the available rainfall data. The aim was to update the existing intensity-duration-frequency curves in the region and obtain these curves at ungauged sites throughout the region using the newly developed rainfall frequency analysis techniques. A total of 17 durations ranging from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling of Rainfall Characteristics for Monitoring of the Extreme Rainfall Event in Makassar CityWahidah Sanusi, Usman Mulbar, Hendra Jaya et al.Flooding is a common problem that occurs in some regions of Indonesia, including Makassar city. In the planning of flood control, rainfall variables are very necessary as the frequency, intensity and duration of rainfall. The relationship of these variables can be expressed in a curve Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF). The objectives of this study are to identify the best fitting distribution of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 10 Apr 2017 · 7,801 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Selected Low-Risk Insecticides and Rainfall Rate on Bemisia tabaci Population and Pepper Yellow Leaf Curl Indonesia Virus Incidence on ChiliAndi Nasruddin, Iftitah Kartika Amaliah, Nurul Arfiani et al.Pepper Yellow Leaf Curl Indonesia Virus (PepYLCIV) is a damaging chili disease in Indonesia. Chili growers depend on synthetic insecticides to control the disease by suppressing its vector population, Bemisia tabaci Genn. This study assessed the efficacy of several low-risk insecticides in suppressing the B. tabaci population and PepYLCIV incidence during the dry and rainy seasons. Treatments consisted of different … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 26 Jan 2024 · 5,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Potential Sites for Runoff Water Harvesting using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems-Based Modeling in SinaiHossam H. Elewa, Atef A. Qaddah, Ayman A. El-FeelProblem statement: Sinai is increasingly suffering from an overwhelming water crisis. Runoff Water Harvesting (RWH) could be a solution for this problem. The determined promising drainage basins for RWH could be used by the decision makers to propose appropriate controlling systems to overcome the problem of water scarcity and for implementing runoff farming and rain-fed agriculture. Approach: Remote sensing, geographic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Changepoint Analysis of the Extreme Rainfall EventsWan Zawiah Wan Zin, Abdul Aziz Jemain, Kamarulzaman IbrahimProblem statement: This study assesses recent changes in extremes of annual rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia based on daily rainfall data for 50 rain-gauged stations over the period 1975-2004. Approach: Eight indices that represent the extreme events are defined and analyzed, which are extreme Dry Spell (XDS), extreme Rain-Sum (XRS), extreme wet-day intensities at 95% and 99% percentiles (I95 and I99), … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2012 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends in Maximum Daily Rainfall in Marginal Desert Environment: Signs of Climate ChangeKhaldoun A. Al-Qudah, Abdullah A. SmadiProblem statement: Change in intense precipitation has been used as an indicator for anticipated climate change. The trend in maximum daily rainfall in 10 rainfall stations distributed in the north and north east of Jordan has been investigated. Based on mean annual rainfall and geographic location, rainfall stations were divided into subhumid, semi-arid and arid stations. Approach: The regression approach … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 7,405 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Distribution of Rainfall Intensity using Hourly DataSalisu Dan'azumi, Supiah Shamsudin, Azmi ArisProblem statement: Design of storm water best management practices to control runoff and water pollution can be achieved if a prior knowledge of the distribution of rainfall characteristics is known. Rainfall intensity, particularly in tropical climate, plays a major role in the design of runoff conveyance and erosion control systems. This study is aimed to explore the statistical distribution of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRainfall Attenuation and Rainfall Rate Measurements in Malaysia Comparison with Prediction ModelsMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil AinAttenuation due to rain is a primary cause of communication impairment on satellite-earth paths, especially above 10GHz. Rainfall is a serious source of attenuation at such a frequency. This paper presents the characteristics of rain distribution in USM based on measured one minute rain rate. For attenuation of rain, predictions models like ITU and VIHT (Variable Isotherm Height Technique) model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis on 16-Channels Wavelength Division Multiplexing in Free Space Optical Transmission under Tropical Regions EnvironmentSalasiah Hitam, Siti Norziela Suhaimi, Ahmad Shukri Mohd Noor et al.Problem statement: Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing (WDM) is a promising technique for meeting the growing demand for increased bandwidth and various types of services in the optical access network. For wide area or metropolitan networks, fibers are deployed to provide huge bandwidth. In access networks, the fiber-to-the-home will partially solve the last mile problem. However, some environmentally sensitive area such as housing areas, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Nov 2011 · 10,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Assessment of Anthracnose Disease Response for the Sorghum Germplasm Collection from the Mopti RegionJ. E. ErpeldingProblem statement: Sorghum anthracnose (Colletotrichum sublineolum) is a highly variable pathogen and new sources of host plant resistance are required for the development of resistant sorghum varieties. Germplasm collections are an important source of host plant resistance and screening germplasm will be essential to identify new sources of resistance.
