Implementing control structures such as gates at suitable locations in the urban drainage network enables its improved utility by actively controlling and optimizing the flow during a flood event. The successful operation of the control structure is fully governed by the suitability and...

Space constraints in developed urban cities necessitate utilizing existing capacity of the drainage system for actively controlling and optimizing the flow during a flood event. This is mainly achieved by the use of non-structural control measures (in the form of suitable controllers and control...

One-dimensional indexed bilinear (BL) models are widely used for modeling non Gaussian time series. Extending BL models to multidimensional indexed (spatial) SBL one, yields a novel class of models which are capable of taking into account the important characteristic of non Gaussianity and...

A calculation method of radiant time factors is presented and the method is used to calculate radiant cooling load. Based on experimental data of total heat gain and total cooling loads collected within 24-h, radiant heat gain and radiant cooling load can be calculated through convection and...

In this paper a class of nonparametric transfer function models is proposed to model nonlinear relationships between 'input' and 'output' time series. The transfer function is smooth with unknown functional forms, and the noise is assumed to be a stationary autoregressive-moving average (ARMA)...

We present a medium-scale dynamic factor model to estimate and forecast the rate of growth of the Spanish economy in the very short term. The intermediate size of the model overcomes the serious specification problems associated with large-scale models and the implicit loss of information of...

This paper presents a technique to derive the unit impulse response functions (UIRF) used for determination of unit hydrograph by employing the Z-transform technique to the response function derived from the Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) process of order (p, q). The proposed approach was...

Рассматриваются вопросы представления экономического процесса в виде замкнутой динамической системы. Обобщаются и систематизируются материалы по адаптации...

In view of system efficiency and environmental protection, it is of primary importance to harvest solar energy better and better for example by means of developing solar collectors. Mathematical modelling is the theoretically established tool for it, for example with using the collector transfer...
