In this paper, an online learning framework called adaptive decision fusion (ADF) is employed for short-term wind speed and turbulence intensity forecasting by use of wind speed data for each season for the city of Izmit, ...

The present study aimed to search for chicken abdominal fat deposition-related polymorphisms within RB1 and to provide functional evidence for significantly associated genetic variants. Association analyses showed that 11 ...

This study quantifies the dimensionless maximum scour depth d(s)/D-50 downstream of flip buckets as a function of the square of the densimetric Froude number Fr-d(2), jet Reynolds number Re, lip angle, and sediment ...

A multi-criteria scoring tool is used to assess the environmental risk level of small hydropower plants on the basis of documented evidence, measured data, and on-site observations. The assessment is based on evaluating ...

This paper enables a screening of existing irrigation dams in order to assess and rank potential sites for small hydropower development by using a Geographic Information System (GIS)-fuzzy logic multi-criteria scoring ...

The flow an d turbulence characteristics of a new baffle-brush type fish pass were investigated experimentally in a 2 m wide rectangular flume with a bed slope of 4% and Reynolds and Froude numbers in the range 5 x 10(4)-2.8 ...

In this paper, we propose image analysis based methods for estimating fish tail beat frequency, which is an indicator of fish energy consumption at fish passage structures. For this purpose, average magnitude difference ...

The proposed risk assessment tool quantifies economic, environmental, political, and societal risks in wind energy projects. The risks are quantified based on the measured data and document evidence. An important component ...
