For over three decades, emergency planners have used numerical models to predict breaching in earthfill dams due to extreme events such as overtopping. However, current models neglect the role of the unsaturated zone present within the downstream face of an earthfill dam. This leads to an...

Flood quantiles are routinely used in hydrologic engineering to design hydraulic structures, optimize erosion control structure and map the extent of floodplains. As an increasing number of papers are pointing out cycles and trends in hydrologic time series, the use of stationary flood...

The paper deals with the analysis of tsunami risks for Western Canada and the numerical modelling of a potential tsunami which could affect the region and generate significant damage to the western Canadian coastline. Following a review of the seismic risk and historical tsunamis which occurred...

The Siret River originates from the Wooded Carpathians (Ukraine) and has a length of 559 km on the Romanian territory. The upper river course is set on the Ukrainian territory, the middle course flows through the Suceava Tableland, and then the limit between the Moldavian Subcarpathians and the...

In the companion paper, Seidou et al. (<CitationRef CitationID="CR11">2011</CitationRef>, submitted) have shown that when adequate meteorological data are available to calibrate rainfall-runoff models, using a non-stationary GEV model with the simulated flows can provide a better description of flood peaks distributions than directly using...</citationref>

The scientific research is very careful supervised to national level, institutional and individual, products and services, a mean of preparing human resources highly qualified and as a source of prestige for countries, institutions and persons. Banks and generally the whole banking system must...

Banking practice has shown that risk is better controlled in a centralized system, as opposed to profit, whose size and scale is better controlled in a decentralized system, which includes its tracking on the centers of responsibility. In this context, the authors developed a model of coverage...

Present a case study comes to confirm theoretical suppositions formulated by the authors, which asserts that in commercial banks we can determine internal cession price using mathematical methods – like the offered by matrix system of linear programming.

The current financial crisis seems to be more painful than those occurring in recent decades. This crisis caused a massive decline in the market confidence of both businesses and consumers. The crisis has affected a multitude of economic and financial activities such as financial markets that...
