Common Fixed Point Theorem in 2-Metric Space Satisfying Rational Inequality
Abstract: Some common fixed point theorems using a new technique by altering distance between the points with the help of certain continues control function. On the other hand, some fixed point theorems by using a non monotonic control function and discussed the importance of control function. In this study, using more general condition satisfying rational inequality along with by proving common fixed point theorem in 2-Metric space.

Decision tree method (Flexibility in adaptation - FIA) for evaluating the flexibility of flood risk adaptation options in Lad Krabang, Thailand
Abstract: Flexibility in planning and implementation of responses to prevent and adapt to flooding can be achieved using methods such as Real in Option (RIO), Adaptation Tipping Point (ATP) and Adaptation Pathway. However these methods lack the ability to evaluate the degrees of flexibility of the adaptation measures. Hence, this paper proposes a method for evaluating and making a comparison between a numbers of different flood prevention plans in terms of …

Comparison of Mean Depth of Flow Obtained by Maximum Permissible Velocity and Adam–Basforth Method
Abstract: The equation is formed for mean depth of flow and mean velocity of flow with respect to maximum permissible velocity and maximum value of Manning’s roughness coefficient. It is found that the mean depth of flow obtained from maximum permissible velocity provides nearly equal value compared with mean depth of flow obtained from 0.75-inch roughness bed flume data. The depth of flow obtained from Adam–Basforth method provides nearly equal value …
