A new method is developed to design a multi-objective and multi-pollutant sensitive air quality monitoring network (AQMN) for an industrial district. A dispersion model is employed to estimate the ground level concentration of the air pollutants emitted from different emission sources. The primary objective of AQMN is providing the maximum information about the pollutant with respect to (1) maximum coverage area, (2) maximum detection of violations over ambient air standards and (3) sensitivity of monitoring stations to emission sources. Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (ACO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are adopted as the optimization tools to identify the optimal configuration of the monitoring network. The comparison between the results of ACO and GA shows that the performance of both algorithms is acceptable in finding the optimal configuration of AQMN. The application of the method to a network of existing refinery stacks indicates that three stations are suitable to cover the study area. The sensitivity of the three optimal station locations to emission sources is investigated and a database including the sensitivity of stations to each source is created. 相似文献

Greater Cairo and the Nile Delta are considered very important, high-density population areas. The subject of the research work is dealing with recent crustal movements and its relation to seismicity and tectonics setting. A Global Positioning System (GPS) network consisting of 11 benchmarks covering Greater Cairo and the southern part of the Nile Delta was established in 1996. Different campaigns surveyed the network. In this study, we used ten measurements collected during the period from 2004 to 2010. The data were processed using Bernese 5.0 software to derive velocity vectors and principal components of crustal strains. The horizontal velocity varies in average between 3 and 6 mm per year across the network. Rate of the accumulated strains in the southern part of Greater Cairo varies from low to moderate. The low strain rates and low level of earthquakes occurrence in the present interval in the Nile Delta area indicated that the rate of the deformation in this area is small. The result from coupling GPS and seismic data indicates that the southern part of the area is seismo-active area when compared with the other parts in the network areas. The paper gives information about the present state of the recent crustal movements within Greater Cairo area to understand the geodynamics of that area. This study is an attempt to build a basis for further development of seismic catastrophic risk management models to reduce a risk of large catastrophic losses within the important area. 相似文献

Parametric method of flood frequency analysis (FFA) involves fitting of a probability distribution to the observed flood data at the site of interest. When record length at a given site is relatively longer and flood data exhibits skewness, a distribution having more than three parameters is often used in FFA such as log‐Pearson type 3 distribution. This paper examines the suitability of a five‐parameter Wakeby distribution for the annual maximum flood data in eastern Australia. We adopt a Monte Carlo simulation technique to select an appropriate plotting position formula and to derive a probability plot correlation coefficient (PPCC) test statistic for Wakeby distribution. The Weibull plotting position formula has been found to be the most appropriate for the Wakeby distribution. Regression equations for the PPCC tests statistics associated with the Wakeby distribution for different levels of significance have been derived. Furthermore, a power study to estimate the rejection rate associated with the derived PPCC test statistics has been undertaken. Finally, an application using annual maximum flood series data from 91 catchments in eastern Australia has been presented. Results show that the developed regression equations can be used with a high degree of confidence to test whether the Wakeby distribution fits the annual maximum flood series data at a given station. The methodology developed in this paper can be adapted to other probability distributions and to other study areas. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is needed to support irrigation design and scheduling, and watershed hydrology studies. There are many available methods to estimate evapotranspiration from a water surface, comprising both direct and indirect methods. In the first part of this study, the generalized regression neural networks model (GRNN) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) are developed and compared in order to estimate the reference ET0 for the first time in Algeria. Various daily climatic data, that is, daily mean relative humidity, sunshine duration, maximum, minimum and mean air temperature, and wind speed from Dar El Beida, Algiers, Algeria, are used as inputs to the GRNN and RBFNN models to estimate the ET0 obtained using the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation (PM56). The performances of the models are evaluated using root mean square errors (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), Willmott index of agreement (d) and correlation coefficient (CC) statistics. In the second part of the study, the empirical Hargreaves-Samani (HG) and Priestley-Taylor (PT) equations are also considered for the comparison. Based on the comparisons, the GRNN was found to perform better than the RBFNN, Priestley-Taylor and Hargreaves-Samani models. The RBFNN model is ranked as the second best model. 相似文献

Stepwise extraction and molecular analysis of non-recoverable oil from intact reservoir core plugs is used to provide constraints on the accumulation history of petroleum in the Permo-Carboniferous Unayzah reservoirs at the Ghazal Field, Saudi Arabia. When integrated with existing tools such as oil geochemistry, gas geochemistry, stable carbon isotopes, fluid inclusions and thermal modeling, the sequential extraction approach helped decode a previously unrecognized component of the hydrocarbon accumulation history. In particular, it indicates that the region received early petroleum charges that were less mature than currently produced light oil and gas condensates, possibly from the prolific Early Silurian Qusaiba shale source rock and other sources. This has significant implications for prospecting for additional oil, particularly in the north/northwest of the Ghazal region where paleo-oil accumulations may have been displaced or spilled. The lower portion of the Unayzah reservoir (Unayzah-C) remained water-wet during early filling of the upper reservoir unit (Unayzah-A) and appears to have been filled only by a late oil charge. Anomalous molecular and carbon isotopic behavior of residual oil extracts from the uppermost segment of the Unayzah reservoir, where the free oil (first of the sequential extracts) is less mature (0.95% Rc) and isotopically lighter (δ13C?31.15‰) than the adsorbed oil (last sequential extract, 1.05% Rc; δ13C?29.65‰), suggests a late oil contribution or bitumen contamination from the overlying Khuff Formation. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DC resistivity surveys for imaging the wastewater percolation around the stabilization ponds in the Tenth of Ramadan City, the desert fringes of East Nile Delta, Egypt. Detailed resistivity surveys, including DC soundings and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), were carried out along several profiles. Furthermore, synthetic modeling of ERT was designed to optimize the survey configurations and interpretation of the results. A 2D modeling of smoothness-constrained least-squares inversion scheme was applied to delineate the possible wastewater infiltration zones from oxidation ponds. Because the geoelectrical interpretation has a degree of non-uniqueness, the resistivity inversion was constrained using borehole lithological information and soil sample laboratory measurements. The DC inversion results indicate decreasing resistivity down to a depth of 15 m around waste disposal sites. The inferred soil zone close to the oxidation ponds was a mixture of sand, silt and clay. Moreover, the clay minerals were characterized by moderate swelling that could have reduced the vertical infiltration speed, causing wastewater seepage, especially around unlined disposal sites and open surface drains. Accordingly, the medium-to-low resistivity values can be attributed to wastewater leakage in clayey sand soil. Because the area slopes generally toward the northeast, the surface seepage was dominant in the shallow impermeable sandy clay subsoil. Therefore, measuring soil parameters is a complementary method to optimize resistivity interpretation, with potential for mitigating environmental hazards from wastewater leakage around disposal ponds. 相似文献

The development of belt structures in intracratonic chains is guided by the convergence system. In the Southern-Central Tunisian Atlas, several parameters control the evolution of thrust folds during different tectonic phases. One of these phases is tectonic inheritance, which leads to the reactivation of pre-existing normal faults during compressive phases. The angle between the direction of these faults and the shortening axis (NNW-SSE) is the most important parameter for interpreting the mode of the evolution of thrust folds. Jebel Elkebar is an example of a structure developed on NW-SE-oriented faults that is perpendicular to the shortening axis. Based on the geometry of its folds, Jebel Elkebar is interpreted as a 'Fault Related Fold'. The E-W-oriented Orbata structure is oblique to the direction of the shortening axis and is interpreted through the model 'Fault Propagation Fold' with 'Breakthrough'. The Gafsa Fault, which is parallel to the shortening axis, is a transpressional fault interpreted through the 'Strain Partitioning' mode, which is associated with the oblique ramp fold. The development of various thrust folds requires the presence of a basal decollement level during the Triassic succession. In the Southern-Central Tunisian Atlas, the deformation is variable (geometry of fold closure) and is correlated with the depth of the decollement level; indeed, the intensity of deformation is proportional to the depth of the decollement level. Consequently, the most important deformation is in the higher successions and is a vertical migration of the decollement level associated with thin-skinned deformation. 相似文献

Successful development of geodetic satellite missions has aroused new interest in determining global and regional gravity
field based on satellite data. Satellite altimetry data enable direct determination of the geoid over sea regions.
In Egypt, where land and marine geophysical data are inadequate because of rough topography and economic reasons, the use
of satellite altimetry data is of special importance.
The northern Red Sea region has been selected as a site for case study of the current research, after applying spectral analysis
to reveal near-surface structure, the residual geoid of the studied region shows a good correlation with the known geologic
features. Moreover, satellite-based gravity data enhance small-scale features and agrees well with land and marine gravity
data. Thus, geoid undulation and satellite gravity data can be a complementary source of data to determine near-surface and
deep structures. 相似文献

The dispersion of pollutants from a point source is analytically investigated taking into consideration the vertical variation of both wind speed and eddy diffusivity. The deposition of the diffusing particles on the ground is taken into account throughout the boundary conditions. The concentration of pollutants under different atmospheric stabilities was found assuming that the vertical diffusion is limited by an elevated inversion layer. The decay distance of a pollutant along the wind direction for different atmospheric stabilities was derived. The resulting analytical formulae have been applied on a case study namely, the emission from the research reactor at Inshas. The results are discussed and presented in illustrative figures. 相似文献

This research proposes the use of artificial neural network to predict the allowable bearing capacity and elastic settlement of shallow foundation on granular soils in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Data obtained from existing soil reports of 600 boreholes were used to train and validate the model. Three parameters (footing width, effective unit weight, and SPT blow count) are considered to have the most significant impact on the magnitude of allowable bearing capacity and elastic settlement of shallow foundations, and thus were used as the model inputs. Throughout the study, depth of footing was limited to 1.5 m below existing ground level and water table depth taken at the level of the footing. Performance comparison of the developed models (in terms of coefficient of determination, root mean square error, and mean absolute error) revealed that the developed artificial neural network models could be effectively used for predicting the allowable bearing capacity and elastic settlement. As such, the developed models can be used at the preliminary stage of estimating the allowable bearing capacity and settlements of shallow foundations on granular soils, instead of the conventional methods. 相似文献
