Sewer system management in extraordinary events
(Risk Management of Water Supply and Sanitation Systems, 2009)
This paper deals with the problem of sewer system management in extraordinary conditions - by which are included both non-regular and special events. Extreme precipitation, thick layer of snow and its melting, extreme ...
Damage control and repair for security of buildings
(Security and Reliability of Damaged Structures and Defective Materials, 2009)
Civil engineering objects, especially buildings, suffer the damage and failure tinder earthquake. Invented DC Damper System can increase the resistance and strengthen the construction, enabling tougher behaviour under ...
The influence of digital elevation model resolution on overland flow networks for modelling urban pluvial flooding
(IWA Publishing, 2009)
This paper presents the developments towards the next generation of overland flow modelling of urban pluvial flooding. Using a detailed analysis of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) the developed GIS tools can automatically ...
Possibility of Landsat 7 Sattelite Images in Lithological and Structural Research of Arid Terrain, Illustrated on Djebel Tammeda in Algeria
(European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories, 2009)
Structural analysis Djebel Tammeda performed on Landsat 7 satellite image obtained with ETM+ sensor (Enhanced Thematic Mapper). This sensor gives images in seven channels, which cover visible and infrared noise spectrum ...
Uncertainty reduction in water distribution network modelling using system inflow data
(Urban Water Journal, 2009)
In water distribution network (WDN) modelling, nodal demand is the sum of flows taken by users associated with a computational node. User demands are not fixed in time; rather they are stochastic. Hence, nodal demand is a ...
Overland flow and pathway analysis for modelling of urban pluvial flooding
(Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2009)
Research on improving an overland flow model is presented for urban pluvial flooding under the dual-drainage concept where sewer flow dynamically interacts with overland flow. This occurs during heavy storms when the sewer ...
Trends in the Presence and Roles of Women Physicists in Serbia
(Women in Physics: 3rd Iupap International Conference On Women in Physics, 2009)
In general, the portion of women in physics has been increasing in recent years in Serbia, as well as their presence in research and academic institutions. The percentage of women who earned BSc degrees in physics is greater ...
Electromagnetic energy flow lines as possible paths of photons
(Physica Scripta, 2009)
Motivated by recent experiments where interference patterns behind a grating are obtained by accumulating single photon events, we provide here an electromagnetic energy flow-line description to explain the emergence of ...
Rationalisation and reliability improvement of fire-fighting systems - the Novi Sad case study
(Urban Water Journal, 2009)
Water supply systems are commonly used to supply fire-fighting water in most EU countries. To provide fast access to water, the standard practice is to install a huge number of hydrants along the entire water supply network. ...
Numerical stability problems in hydrodynamic modelling of confluences with small junction angles
(Universidad de Concepción, 2009)
The paper addresses problems which arise from the use of 3D grids with quadrilateral faces on
the horizontal planes in hydrodynamic modelling of discordant beds asymmetrical confluences
with small junction angles. There ...
