Analysis of the multi-component pseudo-pure-mode qP-wave inversion in vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) media

Multi-parameter inversion in anisotropic media suffers from the inherent trade-off between the anisotropic parameters, even under the acoustic assumption. Multi-component data, often acquired nowadays in ocean bottom acquisition and land data, provide additional information capable of resolving anisotropic parameters under the acoustic approximation assumption. Based on Born scattering approximation, we develop formulas capable of characterizing the radiation patterns for the acoustic pseudo-pure mode P-waves. Though commonly reserved for the elastic fields, we use displacement fields to constrain the acoustic vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) representation of the medium. Using the asymptotic Green’s functions and a horizontal reflector we derive the radiation patterns for perturbations in the anisotropic media. The radiation pattern for the anellipticity parameter η is identically zero for the horizontal displacement. This allows us to dedicate this component to invert for velocity and δ . Computing the traveltime sensitivity kernels based on the unwrapped phase confirms the radiation patterns observations, and provide the model wavenumber behavior of the update.
Radar observations of MJO and Kelvin wave interactions during DYNAMO/CINDY2011/AMIE

Radar and sounding data collected during the Dynamics of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO), the Cooperative Indian Ocean Experiment on Intraseasonal Variability in the Year 2011 (CINDY2011), and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Madden‐Julian Oscillation Investigation Experiment (AMIE) field campaigns in the equatorial Indian Ocean to study the initiation of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) are used to examine the precipitation, cloud, and moisture characteristics during the MJO and convectively coupled Kelvin waves (KWs). Three MJO events and 10 KWs were identified from satellite data using different wave number frequency filters, although event identification varied based on the chosen range of latitude, frequency, and outgoing longwave radiation threshold. Radar and sounding data were composited for the three MJO events, four KWs during the active MJO, five KWs during the suppressed MJO, and one KW during the developing MJO. The MJO composite was generally consistent with past studies, although an increase in convective rain appeared to precede relative humidity increases at low‐ to middle‐levels. The active and developing MJO KWs produced more rain and cloud than suppressed MJO KWs and had a secondary peak in stratiform rain potentially associated with subsynoptic‐scale cloud clusters. The suppressed MJO KW composite displayed previously documented structure of vertical moisture buildup prior to the KW passage, whereas the developing MJO KW did not. The KW moisture signature during the active MJO was somewhat overwhelmed by the moist environment associated with the active MJO. Upper level moisture was enhanced after KW passage, regardless of MJO phase. However, upper level moisture was most enhanced after the developing MJO KW passage, providing deep tropospheric moisture that may have assisted MJO onset. Nonprecipitating upper level cloud and midlevel altocumulus/altostratus also persisted after most KW passages.
A Statistical Study on Spatial Scaling Effects of Urban Landscape Pattern: A Case Study of the Central Area of the External Circle Highway in Shanghai

Based on SPOT remote sensing images and GIS, choosing the central area of the external circle highway in Shanghai as a case study area, the paper studied the spatial scaling effect of the urban landscape pattern with different grains and extents. The conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) The spatial autocorrelation of urban landscape pattern depends on different scales within a certain range of scales, and Moran I and Geary c related to the grains, which characterized the spatial autocorrelation of the urban landscape structure, have the same sensitive points to the scaling at the level of 50 m. (2) The patches of all kinds of landscapes have the fractal character. The fractal dimensions of landscapes respond to scaling differently, and the present nonlinear change trends with grains. The fractal dimensions of landscapes are obviously different at a small grain, but the differences become not obvious with the increasing grain. (3) The landscape diversity are closely linked to the location and the pattern of human activities, especially to economic and social activities. Due to the high land cost in the urban center, the dominant landscapes are mainly for business and culture, and their patches have the characters of high congregation and high fragmentation. While agricultural landscapes with low economic benefit can only be located at the fringe or outskirt of the urban area, and they have the characters of simplex, larger patches and less fragmentation. (4) The landscape diversity depends on spatial scale. With the increasing extent, the Shannon diversity index (SHDI) increases and the spatial pattern of landscape varies dramatically. At 0.5 km extent, the maximum of diversity is in the center of the urban area. The landscape diversity is distributed with a ring mode up and down from the center to the outer. With the increasing extent, the maximum of diversity moves to the urban-rural transition zone where landscape types change dramatically. (5) The semivariogram discloses the spatial variance character and internal mechanism of landscape diversity. At a small scale, the spatial variance of diversity is more complicated. The spatial heterogeneity, which is caused by spatial autocorrelation, contributes a lot to the total spatial heterogeneity of terrestrial ecosystem, while the spatial heterogeneity caused by random factors (scale and measure error) contributes less. The increasing scale washes off the detailed variances in a fine scale. The coarse scale may result in more nugget effect and less contribution, which is caused by spatial autocorrelation.

Impacts of the Indian Ocean on the Indian Summer Monsoon-ENSO Relationship

This study investigates the impacts of the Indian Ocean on the relationship between the Indian summer monsoon and the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) through numerical simulations with a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model and atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) experiments with specified sea surface temperature (SST) and surface heat flux (SHF) forcing. Previous studies have shown that this particular coupled model captures many aspects of the observed Indian summer monsoon-ENSO relationship. However, it is found that, when the Indian Ocean is decoupled from the atmosphere, the Indian monsoon-ENSO relationship reverses. This change is linked to the relationships between surface evaporation, surface wind, and SST in the north Indian Ocean. In the coupled case, surface evaporation anomalies are positively correlated with surface wind anomalies during April-June and are of the same sign as SST anomalies during July-September. In the decoupled Indian Ocean case, surface evaporation anomalies are of the same sign as surface wind anomalies during the entire April-September period. Numerical experiments with an AGCM were performed with SST or SHF anomalies specified in the tropical Indian-Pacific Ocean, tropical Pacific Ocean only, and tropical Indian Ocean only. These experiments confirm the importance of local coupled air-sea feedback in the Indian Ocean for a proper simulation of the Indian monsoon-ENSO relationship.
ECONOMIC COMPARISON OF AGRICULTURE WITH AGROFORESTRY IN TEHSIL KAMALIA, DISTRICT TOBA TEK SINGH, PAKISTAN

A study was carried out in the Department of Forestry and Range Management, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan during the year 2007 to 2009. In this study, economic comparison of agriculture (sugarcane cultivation) with agro-forestry (sugarcane cultivation in combination with trees) was made in Tehsil Kamalia, district Toba Take Singh. Net present worth and return on investment were used as economic tools. Total sample size comprised 80 farmers; 40 involved in sugarcane cultivation and 40 in sugarcane cultivation in combination with trees. Thus total number of observations was 240; 120 for agriculture and 120 for agro-forestry. Comparison of both land use systems was made on the basis of average expenditures and revenues per year. Discounting was carried out @ 12 percent to bring cost and benefit streams at same currency value. The benefit cost ratio of sugarcane system was computed as 2.26 whereas net present worth was found as Rs. 149810.2. Benefit cost ratio of sugarcane in combination with trees was computed to be 2.28 whereas net present worth was found to be Rs. 151098.5. Net benefits of tree based sugarcane system were computed as 0.86 percent more than sole sugarcane system. So farmers are recommended to adopt sugarcane in combination with trees system on the basis of this research. Though there was no prominent difference between these systems, yet agroforestry can be recommended as the trees under this system not only provide timber, fuel and other physical output but also give countless environmental benefits.
Simultaneous detection and segmentation for generic objects

This thesis deals with the simultaneous detection and segmentation for generic objects in images. The proposed approach is based on building a dictionary of patches, which defines the object and allows the extraction of the detection and segmentation features. These features are then used in a boosting classifier which automatically decides at each round whether it is better to detect or segment. Moreover, we include in the boosting training the ability of crossing information between detection and segmentation with the aim that good detections may help to better segment and vice versa. The experimental results obtained using three different datasets show a good performance both in detection and segmentation, with results comparable to state of the art approaches. We also propose to use our simultaneous detection and segmentation approach to automatically annotate images downloaded using Internet search engines, providing polygonal annotations of the objects. The system only requires the user feedback for validating the automatic annotations provided by the classifiers. Finally, we adapt also the detection proposal to deal with specific problems of object recognition in different areas. On the one hand, we present a new fully automatic computer aided detection system for microcalcification detection. On the other hand, a novel approach for the detection of faint compact sources in wide field interferometric radio images has been proposed. The results obtained in both cases demonstrate the validity of using our approach in such specific problems with simple modifications. This point stresses one of the objectives of this thesis; proposing a generic approach able to deal with objects of a very different nature.
Advances in effects of dams on river ecosystem

River systems are the major transport channel between land ecosystem and aquatic ecosystem, but the constructed dams fragmented the river ecosystems, that can change their physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The detail effect of the dams are reviewed on the hydrological and hydrodynamic characteristics, the nutrients transportation, the structure and functions of the river ecosystem, and the corresponding measures for the ecological restoration. With larger dames as major component of the hydrological cycle, their effects on the watershed ecosystem health is increasing.We need to study their negative effects on the ecosystem and the corresponding restoration measures.

This research verifies a conceptual framework that extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in order to determine the factors that influence acceptance and use of social media marketing tool within SMEs industries in emerging economies. Using a simple random approach, data was obtained from 50 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, with 314 IT-and management-related employees submitting valid response. In addition, partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to evaluate and assess the hypotheses given in this research. The findings indicate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intentions to use social media marketing have a positive effect on the actual usage of social media marketing by SMEs, whereas perceived cost has a negative effect on the actual usage of social media marketing. The findings also suggested that transformational leadership moderates the relationship between behavioral intention to use social media marketing and actual usage of social media marketing. Additionally, the research contributes to the existing literature on social media adoption factors and reinforces factors such as perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use to the relatively small number of empirical studies undertaken on social media marketing adoption factors in developing countries. Finally, this paper has significant implications for practitioners and scholars interested in examining the adoption of social media marketing by SMEs.

Language use is important in a community such as composed of people living with mental health conditions. The researcher aimed to understand depressive language more deeply by looking at the linguistic features, unravelling the process of language consumption as evidenced in the language experiences of depressed people, and determining the dominant ideological representations. Using the 3-Dimensional Framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, the researcher made a thorough investigation on depressive language on Facebook. In the textual analysis, it was revealed that depressive language contains certain linguistic features such as lexical items belonging to different categories, use of self-references, presence of positive and emotions words, and occurrence of words related to status, dominance, and social hierarchy. In the interview with seven depressed people, language experiences include the use of language for various purposes such as for expressing, fighting stigma, getting help, and educating other people. The participants also shared that language could be a reason for triggers and stigma. Based on the linguistic features and the language experiences, it was also found out that certain ideologies are dominant in depressive language such as the existence of stigma in society, death as an escape from pain, inevitability of sadness, and continuous seeking of help and attention. This study is deemed important in advancing more studies in the Philippine context focusing on mental health and language use.

The teachers and students' engagement on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, and other online and offline platforms for the purpose of teaching and learning are considered as digital citizenship in education. These social media have also exposed the users to admit several rights and mutual values. However, the enhancement of technology has motivated these citizens not only to communicate across the world but also to build platforms to practice and learn new knowledge and skills. This article is proposed to review the impacts of digital citizenship on teachers and students' educational development. Therefore, a critical review of the literature is conducted. The data is collected using Google Scholar with the scope of the topic and the criteria mainly between 2011 to 2021. The data analysis procedure and identifying codes, patterns, and similar themes have motivated the authors to present and discuss the results and findings thematically. The results show that the fundamental elements of digital citizenship are the internet, technological tools, social media, and responsible behaviors of the users on the platforms. The findings also indicate that the development of information communication technology and virtual practices are serving digital citizens to be involved in many related and unrelated activities which need to be controlled by an authentic policy. Since the growing technology of the world is transforming the paradigms including the students' needs, the layout of the classrooms, and the stakeholders' requirement for employability. Investigating these continuing needs contributes to the efforts to lead the information communication technology integration into educational circumstances and address the local and national policies, facilitating the infrastructure, enhancing the educational settings, cybersecurity issues, and privacy accountability among educators and the learners.
