Trend Analysis of Long-Term Rainfall Data for Monsoon Season of Kharun Catchment
Abstract: This research paper investigates the trends in monsoon season rainfall over a 31-year period (1990–2021) using the non-parametric Mann–Kendall test. A range of statistical methods were utilized to analyze the rainfall data, providing valuable insights into its temporal patterns and trends. The correlation coefficient, measured by Kendall's Tau, exhibited a minimal positive correlation of 0.004 between years and their corresponding rainfall, quantities. This implies a slight tendency for increased rainfall …

Variation of Ground Acceleration with Increase in Lateral Distance
Abstract: Ground acceleration induced by dynamic loading decreases with increasing lateral distance from the source because of wave attenuation and energy dissipation through the ground. Accurate estimation of ground acceleration at different distances is essential for evaluating the safety and performance of nearby structures, particularly in blasting, seismic, and heavy construction activities. This study presents a simplified linear attenuation model for estimating ground acceleration at greater lateral distances using limited measured …

Excerpt from the Function of a Complex Variable
Abstract: The need to derive a function arose while trying to find a universal way to determine the tangent of a curve in geometry and velocity in mechanics. In mathematical analysis, in a branch of mathematics, a derivative is a measure of how (how fast) a function changes its values when its input values change. The derivative of the curve at a point represents the coefficient of the direction of the …
