Abstract:
Investigating the influence of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on seasonal rainfall is a crucial factor for managing Ethiopian water resources. For this purpose, SST and rainfall data were used to study a wide range of inhomogeneous areas in Ethiopia with uneven distribution of rainfall for both summer (1951–2015) and spring (1951–2000) seasons. Firstly, a preliminary subdivision of rainfall grid points into zones was applied depending on spatial homogeneity and seasonality of rainfall. This introduced new clusters, including nine zones for summer rainfall peak (July/August) and five zones for

Shear-zone-related gold–quartz veins in granitoid intrusions are commonly intimately associated with mafic dikes, which may have a profound influence on the localization, orientation, and kinematics of auriferous shear zones. The Bourlamaque pluton of the Val-d'Or district contains several economic auriferous shear zones, most of which follow and overprint diorite dikes. Mineralization in all deposits consists of quartz–tourmaline–pyrite veins in reverse- oblique orientation with a significant range of strike, dip, and slip direction.

Abstract:
In Canada, recent catastrophic wildfire events raised concern from governments and communities. As climate change is expected to increase fire activity in boreal forests, the need for a better understanding of fire regimes is becoming urgent. This study addresses the 1972–2015 spatial distributions of fire cycles, mean fire size (FireSz) and mean fire occurrence (mean annual number of fires per 100000ha, FireOcc) in eastern Canada. The objectives were to determine (1) the spatial variability of fire-regime attributes, (2) the capacity of FireSz and FireOcc to distinguish homogeneous fire zones

Ferritic ductile cast iron (FDI) microstructure is composed by graphite nodules embedded in a ferritic matrix. It is usual to assume that the ferritic matrix is homogeneous. However, the experimental analysis shows impurities and in some cases a high degree of heterogeneity. It is necessary to investigate the influence of these heterogeneities on the mechanical properties of FDI.This work focusses on the characterization of the elastoplastic properties of different zones of the ferritic matrix of FDI and the identification of the sequence and extent of the damage mechanisms at the micro-scale

The subsurface region where river water and groundwater actively mix (the hyporheic zone) plays an important role in conservative and reactive solute transport along rivers.

Our goal is to understand how sediment heterogeneity influences conservative and sorptive solute transport within hyporheic zones containing high- and low-K sediment facies types.

Numerical calculations show that the obtained analytical relations almost accurately describe the oscillation period of a column with a massive compact inclusion, while its difference from the oscillation period

For zone III, this is the time of chemical pollution transport equal to the estimated lifetime of the water intake.

Abstract:
Miscible fluids of different densities subjected to strong time-periodic accelerations normal to their interface can mix due to Faraday instability effects. Turbulent fluctuations generated by this mechanism lead to the emergence and the growth of a mixing layer. Its enlargement is gradually slowed down as the resonance conditions driving the instability cease to be fulfilled. The final state corresponds to a saturated mixing zone in which the turbulence intensity progressively decays. A new formalism based on second-order correlation spectra for the turbulent quantities is introduced for this

The present paper investigates the influence of dense gases governed by complex equations of state on the dynamics of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. In particular, we investigate how differences due to the complex thermodynamic behaviour and transport properties affect the small-scale structures, viscous dissipation and enstrophy generation. To this end, we carry out direct numerical simulations of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations supplemented by advanced dense gas constitutive models. The dense gas considered in the study is a heavy fluorocarbon (PP11) that is shown to exhibit an i

The upsetting process of cylindrical forging was investigated using finite element method. The influence of conical anvil on deformation rule of metal and distribution of strain and stress was studied using software MSC. Marc. The simulated results indicated that it had a smaller rigid zone and more homogeneous deformation zone in the billet during upsetting process with conical anvil compared with flat anvil. The critical reduction in height which could assure the three dimensional compressive stress states for the upsetting with conical anvil was smaller than that for the flat one.

It is well known, that lead coolant, highly enriched by 208Pb, has some advantages over other coolants.

The main objective of this paper was to investigate the influence of the isotopic composition on the fast reactor neutron-physical characteristics.

The fracture behavior of an interface crack tip has significant influence on the structural integrity of an adhesive joint. We investigate a damage zone and the deformation of rubber particles around a tip of an interface crack between rubber-modified epoxy resin and aluminum.

Cavitations in rubber particles are observed around a damaged crack tip in homogeneous resin but not around a damaged interface crack tip.

Hydrologic models of the black box type are the easiest simulation models to use, as much for their simplicity of conception as for their fast calculation times. One drawback, however, is that these general models consider each rainfall event to be perfectly homogeneous over the entire drainage surface of the watershed. Of course, such conditions are practically non-existent given the short time steps used in urban hydrology which tend to accentuate the heterogeneity of rainfall events.
