Annual performance of a Quonset-shaped GiPVT system combined with an earth air heat exchanger (EAHE) has been evaluated for hot and dry climatic conditions. A periodic thermal model for the GiPVT system has been developed ...

The response predictions for the Rigid Faced (RF) Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) wall depend significantly on the considered modelling approach for soil-reinforcement interfaces. Bonded soil-reinforcement modelling is ...

India has been considerably affected by droughts in the recent past. Despite the considerable impacts of droughts on agriculture and water resources, long-term datasets to examine droughts and their consequences at appropriate ...

Redressing global patterns of biodiversity loss requires quantitative frameworks that can predict ecosystem collapse and inform restoration strategies. By applying a network-based dynamical approach to synthetic and ...

In the present study, Amaravati, a proposed city of Andhra Pradesh, India, is identified for stormwater reuse analysis and further provides various options for reuse. Peak runoff from the entire catchment is determined for ...

Effects of bed material and downstream flow depth on bed evolution in a right-angled channel confluence were studied through laboratory experiments. Velocity field, water surface elevation, and bed profile were measured ...

The present experimental study is focused on quantifying the initiation and propagation of desiccation cracking and strain localization in lime-treated compacted expansive soils subjected to controlled temperature and ...

Temperature prediction of lithium-ion batteries is essential to prevent aging and degradation of batteries while ensuring safe and reliable operation. Use of simple machine learning methods for battery temperature prediction ...

An alternative approach for constructing GMPEs, the Consistent Spectral Shape approach (CSS), is recently proposed to overcome the limitations of the conventional methods. The CSS framework is already implemented using the ...

Streamflow is a vital component of the global water cycle. Long-term streamflow observations are required for water resources planning and management, hydroclimatic extremes analysis, and ecological assessment. However, ...
