Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key process in hydrology, agriculture, and managing waterresources. It affects things like irrigation planning and climate research. In this study, we useda temperature-based variation of the Penman-Monteit (PMtl) equation and the Hargreaves(HARG) equation to compare with the standard Penman-Monteith (PM) method foresti...

The article presents an interdisciplinary view of long-span timber structures, combining architectural and environmental approaches. The authors, working in the field of architectural design, analyze wood not only as a structural material, but also as a means of spatial, aesthetic and cultural expression. Particular attention was paid to such aspec...

Koenigs meshes should be more explored in the field of architectural design due to their various fabrication efficiency factors for doubly curved grid-shells. Beside being planar quad meshes (PQ-meshes) they have additional property of duality and are closely linked to graphical statics: their diagonals and those of their dual mesh represent form a...

This study examines the effectiveness of three regression methods – multiple linear, random forest, and log-linear (gamma) when applied to annual maximum daily precipitation data sets to fill in missing values. Gridded observations data of extreme daily precipitation, sourced from the Digital Climate Atlas of Serbia platform, were utilized fo...

The degradation of the rivers and river basins caused by natural and/or anthropogenic factors can be prevented or significantly reduced by taking restoration measures. To define the restoration measures, it is necessary to perform a hydrological analysis of the river basin as well as a hydraulic analysis of the watercourse in the river basin. In t...
