A hydrological model skill score and revised R-squared
(Hydrology Research, 2022-01-01)
Despite the advances in methods of statistical and mathematical modeling, there is considerable lack of focus on improving how to judge models’quality. Coefficient of determination (R2) is arguably the most widely applied ...
Combined use of graphical and statistical approaches for analyzing historical precipitation changes in the black sea region of Turkey
(MDPI: Water, 2020-03-05)
Many statistical methods have been developed and used over time to analyze historical changes in hydrological time series, given the socioeconomic consequences of the changes in the water cycle components. The classical ...

Effect of filler and binder contents on air voids in hot-mix asphalt for road pavement construction
(Kyambogo University, 2021-08)
Filler and binder make up a small proportion of bituminous mixtures, hence they are considered as important ingredients of mixtures. Sometimes due to equipment error during production, some mixtures retain extra or a reduced ...
California bearing ratio for cohesive soils from quasi static cone tests
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
In the majority of nations, the test most frequently employed to identify flexible pavement
layers is the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). To get around the test's high cost,
