Automatic calibration of the SHETRAN hydrological modelling system using MSCE

Automatic calibration is preferred because it provides an objective and extensive searching in the feasible parameter space. In this study, the Modified Shuffled Complex Evolution (MSCE) optimization algorithm is applied to automatically calibrate the physically-based spatially-distributed hydrological model SHETRAN in the 705-km2 semi-arid Cobres basin in southern Portugal, with a spatial resolution of 2 km an...

Susceptibility of the Basin of River Bengalas to Landslides

Landslides have frequently occurred in last years, due to the disorderly grownth of the cities and the occupation of risk areas by the poor population, causing social, environmental and economic impacts. Urban areas in expansion move to geologically unstable areas and topographically inclined, such as the Basin of River Bengalas, located in the city of Nova Friburgo, mountainous re...

Innate stimulation of B1a cells enhances the autoreactive IgM repertoire in the...

A REGIONAL SURVEY OF EMERGING HOT CLIMATE CONDITIONS IN PORTUGAL AND THE NEW CH...

Portugal, located in the South-western Europe, is characterised by a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summer. According to data from Portuguese IM (Instituto de Meteorologia) during the last decade, summer temperatures tend to be higher, and several heat waves have occurred, with temperatures above 40 ºC. During summer, days with high temperatures and heat waves are becoming more and more common in Portug...

Irf4 is a positional and functional candidate gene for the control of serum IgM...

Natural IgM are involved in numerous immunological functions but the genetic factors that control the homeostasis of its secretion and upholding remain unknown. Prompted by the finding that C57BL/6 mice had significantly lower serum levels of IgM when compared with BALB/c mice, we performed a genome-wide screen and found that the level of serum IgM was controlled by a QTL on chromosome 13 reaching the highest l...

Portugal, located in the South-western Europe, is characterised by a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summer. According to data from Portuguese IM (Instituto de Meteorologia) during the last decade, summer temperatures tend to be higher, and several heat waves have occurred, with temperatures above 40 oC. During summer, days with high temperatures and heat waves are becoming more and more common in...

Special Issue on Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronic Systems

This special issue of Nonlinear Dynamics includes a selection of articles presented at the conference Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronic Systems (NDES, 2004) held at the University of E ́ vora, Portugal, 9–13 May 2004. The conference was the twelfth in a series of international conferences, which were initiated at Dresden in 1993. It brought together specialists in the mathematical, natural and engineering scienc...

Proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Nonlinear Dynamics of Electro...

NONLINEAR DYNAMICS OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS 2004 (NDES 2004) is the twelfth in a series of international specialist workshops on Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronics Systems, since 1993, when the first NDES workshop took place in Dresden. Since then, the NDES has steadily increased its impact in the scientific community, becoming a truly international event, the largest of its kind in Europe. In 2004, the workshop br...
