Journal ArticleDOI
Recent insights on uncertainties present in integrated catchment water quality modelling
Franz Tscheikner-Gratl,Vasilis Bellos,Alma Schellart,Antonio M. Moreno-Rodenas,Manoranjan Muthusamy,Jeroen Langeveld,Francois Clemens,Lorenzo Benedetti,Miguel A. Rico-Ramirez,Rita Carvalho,Lutz Breuer,James Shucksmith,Gerard B. M. Heuvelink,Simon Tait +13 more
TL;DR: This discussion attempts to address the question as to whether there is an increase in uncertainty by linking these models or if a compensation effect could take place and that overall uncertainty in key water quality parameters actually decreases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of obesity among Portuguese children (6-8 years old) using three definition criteria: COSI Portugal, 2008.
Ana Isabel Rito,Trudy M. A. Wijnhoven,Harry Rutter,Maria Ana Carvalho,Eleonora Paixão,Carlos Ramos,D. Claudio,R. Espanca,T. Sancho,Z. Cerqueira,Rita Carvalho,C. Faria,E. Feliciano,João Breda +13 more
TL;DR: Portugal is one of the European countries with the highest prevalence of childhood obesity, and COSI is a robust monitoring system using standardized methods that allows comparability with other WHO European Region Member States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical computation of the flow in hydraulic jump stilling basins
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of a hydraulic jump in a stilling basin downstream of a spillway with Froude number Fr = 6 and developed upstream flow was investigated using a physical and a numerical model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical and experimental investigation of a gully under surcharge conditions
TL;DR: In this article, numerical and experimental results were obtained in the MLE (Multiple-Linking-Element) experimental installation that allows the simulation of full surcharge flow through a gully.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving understanding of the underlying physical process of sediment wash-off from urban road surfaces
Manoranjan Muthusamy,Simon Tait,Alma Schellart,Nazmul Azim Beg,Rita Carvalho,João L. M. P. de Lima +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of rainfall intensity, surface slope and initial load on sediment load in an integrated and systematic way and subsequently improved the exponential wash-off equation focusing on the effects of the aforementioned three parameters.
