Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important component of the hydrological cycle. Understanding the ET process has become of fundamental importance given the scenario of global change and increasing water use, especially in the agricultural sector. Determinin...

Natural groundwater recharge (GR) assessment depends on several hydrogeological and climatic inputs, where uncertainty is inevitable. Assessing how inputs? uncertainty affects GR estimation is important; however, it remains unclear in arid areas. This st...

A substantial number of dwellings in the UK have poor building fabric, leading to higher carbon emissions, fuel expenses, and the risk of cold homes. To tackle these challenges, domestic energy efficiency policies are being implemented. One effective app...

The construction of a mathematical model of a complicated system is often associated with the evaluation of inputs? (arguments, factors) influence on the output (response), the identification of important relationships between the variables used, and red...

When assessing the reliability of a system, a mathematical model is often defined to replicate the system?s behavior. The inputs of the system are then gathered into two categories, random inputs and deterministic inputs. The failure of the system depend...

A new multi-constraint optimization model with the weighted objective function is proposed to design the multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) compliant mechanisms. The main feature of this work is that both the two notable problems related to the de facto hin...

The generalized Maxwell (GM) constitutive model has been widely applied to characterize the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures. The parameters (Prony series) of the GM are usually obtained via interconversion between a dynamic modulus and relaxa...
