Using GPR to Detect Bauxite Horizons in Laterite Deposits of Amazon Basin, Brazil

The GPR was applied on areas with laterite deposits and bauxite occurrences to see its capability of discriminate the different weathered horizons and detect the presence of bauxite horizon and also measure its width. The GPR was tested on two bauxite occurrences in Para State, Brazil: Paragominas Region and Trombetas River. The good quality of the radargrams was expected since the electric resistivity of the soil, evaluated by Vertical Electrical Sounding which reveals a resistivity varying from 450 to 3000 Ohm.m. The GPR data acquisition with constant-offset results in clear GPR sections where it was possible to separate four zones or horizons as well as its thicknesses. Each zone shows a different reflection pattern or radarfacies, which helps to differentiate them. The first horizon corresponds to the Belterra Clay, which is the most superficial layer, (AT); below, there is the laterite sequence composed by more three horizons, where the second one is a diffractions zone, which corresponds to a clay with concretionary laterites (ND); the third zone shows a homogeneous pattern and it corresponds to a massive ferruginous horizon (LT); an fourth zone shows discontinuous and small reflectors and/or chaotic pattern which corresponds to the main bauxite horizon (BX).
(2,4-Dihydroxy-6-methoxyphenyl)(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)methanone monohydrate

The title benzophenone compound, C14H12O6·H2O, was isolated from the bark of Garcinia hombroniana Pierre (Guttiferae). The molecule is twisted, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings being 59.13 (7)°. The methoxy group is approximately coplanar with the attached benzene ring, with a C—O—C—C torsion angle of 1.91 (18)°. The water molecule is disordered over two positions in a 0.555 (19):0.445 (19) ratio. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These interactions link the molecules into sheets parallel to the ac plane. The sheets are stacked along the b axis by π–π interactions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.6219 (7) Å. A weak O—H⋯π interaction was also noted.

Formation of Aggregates and Energy Transport in Ultracold Rydberg Interacting Gases

This thesis investigates different aspects of strongly interacting ultracold Rydberg gases coupled by light, including the excitation of correlated structures called Rydberg aggregates and dipolar energy transport. For this purpose an experimental apparatus has been constructed. We study coherent population trapping (CPT) and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) involving Rydberg states. To study the formation of Rydberg aggregates we use full counting statistics (FCS) which makes it possible to infer the size of Rydberg aggregates. Dephasing during the excitation is found to have a dramatic effect on the formation process, leading to sequential growth around an initial grain. Rydberg state EIT is used to realize a new direct optical imaging scheme for Rydberg atoms which combines highly sensitive detection with high spatial and temporal resolution. Applying this technique we observe dipole-mediated energy transport processes between Rydberg atoms. We study classical transport in the presence of strong measurement induced decoherence. The strong interactions are seen to mediate long-range hopping significantly beyond nearest neighbors. We present first indications for coherent transport in this system. These experiments shed light on the role of correlations in the excitation and evolution of strongly interacting quantum systems and e.g. could possibly be used to model energy transport in biological systems.
ÉCONOMIE DU DÉVELOPPEMENT DURABLE

This article considers the usefulness of low-carbon scenarios in public decision-making. They may be useful as a product-oriented trajectory. The scenarios on the agenda of the 2013 Energy Debate in France belong to this category. But a scenario may also be process-oriented, in the sense that its scripting process helps build consensus and a minimum level of agreement. We have scripted scenarios using a codevelopment method, involving about 40 stakeholders from the private and public sectors, and from the state: NGOs, consumer groups, trade unions, banks and local authorities. They selected policies they considered acceptable for achieving 75% greenhouse gases emission reductions in 2050. These policies were then integrated in the Imaclim-R France technicoeconomic simulation model, as part of a high or moderate acceptability scenario. In the first case emissions were cut by between 58% and 72% by 2050; in the second case by between 68% and 81%, depending on the energy price assumptions. All these measures benefited jobs and economic growth, swiftly and durably cutting household spending on energy services. This offers a solid basis for gaining acceptability for low carbon trajectories; the process constitutes also a framework for consolidating collective learning centring on the acceptability of climate policies.
Morphometric Analysis of Tons basin, Rewa District, Madhya Pradesh, based on watershed approach

In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study the morphometric characteristics of subwatersheds in part of Tons basin, which itself is part of the mega Ganga basin in Satna district, Madhya Pradesh. For the purpose of drainage basin analysis, the study area is divided into six subwatershed units. A drainage map of the study area has been prepared with the help of Ilwis 3.4 software. The stream numbers, orders, lengths and other morphometric parameters like bifurcation ratio, drainage density, stream frequency, shape parameters etc. were measured. The low values of bifurcation ratio (mean value of 3.6) and drainage density (mean value of 0.71) suggest that the area has not been much affected by structural disturbances. The sinuosity index value ranges between 1.25 to 1.8, with a mean of 1.5, indicating that the streams are deflected from their straight path and follow somewhat transitional course. Calculation of shape parameters show that the basin is elongated. Watershed wise groundwater level dynamics for the years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 has also been summarised. On this basis, the greater depths of water levels values can be related with low values of stream frequency and infiltration number. The drainage basin study suggests that most of the rocks in the area are of quite permeable nature and there are good chances of infiltration.
Baseflow simulation using SWAT model in an inland river basin in Tianshan Mountains, Northwest China

Baseflow is an important component in hydrological modeling. The complex streamflow recession process complicates the baseflow simulation. In order to simulate the snow and/or glacier melt dominated streamflow receding quickly during the high-flow period but very slowly during the low-flow period in rivers in arid and cold northwest China, the current one-reservoir baseflow approach in SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool) model was extended by adding a slow- reacting reservoir and applying it to the Manas River basin in the Tianshan Mountains. Meanwhile, a digital filter program was employed to separate baseflow from streamflow records for comparisons. Results indicated that the two-reservoir method yielded much better results than the one-reservoir one in reproducing streamflow processes, and the low-flow estimation was improved markedly. Nash-Sutcliff efficiency values at the calibration and validation stages are 0.68 and 0.62 for the one-reservoir case, and 0.76 and 0.69 for the two-reservoir case. The filter-based method estimated the baseflow index as 0.60, while the model-based as 0.45. The filter-based baseflow responded almost immediately to surface runoff occurrence at onset of rising limb, while the model-based responded with a delay. In consideration of watershed surface storage retention and soil freezing/thawing effects on infiltration and recharge during initial snowmelt season, a delay response is considered to be more reasonable. However, a more detailed description of freezing/thawing processes should be included in soil modules so as to determine recharge to aquifer during these processes, and thus an accurate onset point of rising limb of the simulated baseflow.
Self-organized criticality

The concept of self-organized criticality was introduced to explain the behaviour of the sandpile model. In this model, particles are randomly dropped onto a square grid of boxes. When a box accumulates four particles they are redistributed to the four adjacent boxes or lost off the edge of the grid. Redistributions can lead to further instabilities with the possibility of more particles being lost from the grid, contributing to the size of each avalanche. These model 'avalanches' satisfied a power-law frequency-area distribution with a slope near unity. Other cellular-automata models, including the slider-block and forest-fire models, are also said to exhibit self-organized critical behaviour. It has been argued that earthquakes, landslides, forest fires, and species extinctions are examples of self-organized criticality in nature. In addition, wars and stock market crashes have been associated with this behaviour. The forest-fire model is particularly interesting in terms of its relation to the critical-point behaviour of the site-percolation model. In the basic forest-fire model, trees are randomly planted on a grid of points. Periodically in time, sparks are randomly dropped on the grid. If a spark drops on a tree, that tree and adjacent trees burn in a model fire. The fires are the `avalanches' and they are found to satisfy power-law frequency-area distributions with slopes near unity. This forest-fire model is closely related to the site-percolation model, that exhibits critical behaviour. In the forest-fire model there is an inverse cascade of trees from small clusters to large clusters, trees are lost primarily from model fires that destroy the largest clusters. This quasi steady-state cascade gives a power-law frequency-area distribution for both clusters of trees and smaller fires. The site-percolation model is equivalent to the forest-fire model without fires. In this case there is a transient cascade of trees from small to large clusters and a power-law distribution is found only at a critical density of trees.

Impact of Soil Moisture Initialization and Soil Texture on Simulated Land–Atmosphere Interaction in Taiwan

AbstractThis study investigates the effect of soil moisture initializations and soil texture on the land surface hydrologic processes and its feedback on atmospheric fields in Taiwan. The simulations using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model with the Noah land surface model were conducted for a 1-month period from 10 August to 12 September 2013 that included two typhoon-induced precipitation episodes and a series of clear-sky days. Soil moisture from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) was utilized to provide the soil moisture initialization process. In addition, updated soil textures based on field surveys in Taiwan were adopted for the WRF Model. Three WRF sensitivity runs were performed. The first simulation is the base case without any update (WRF-base), the second simulation utilizes GLDAS products to initialize the soil moisture (WRF-GLDAS), and the third simulation includes GLDAS products plus the updated soil textures and soil parameters (WRF-GSOIL). In WRF-base, the soil.
Geophysical monitoring as an information source of rock massif behaviour

The idea of geophysical monitoring Geophysical measurements are an integral part of engineering-geological investigation where they present a wide range of useful information about the tested geological medium and about its geotechnical qualities. Lately, repeated geophysical measurements in different time intervals have been used to judge the changes occurring in the rock massif. These measurements bear the characteristics of total monitoring. This total monitoring contains series of repeated measurements and further an integrated spectrum of linked activities including evaluation, comparison with the warning state and making a decision about taking precautions. From the range of geophysical methods and methodologies used for monitoring in full sense we may mention, for example, continuous seismoacoustic measurements in mining constructions; (which may result even in recalling of the personnel), and further, also seismic measurements in the surroundings of atomic power stations and measurements considering the protection against radioactive elements and their decay components. As a full monitoring we may also classify measurements in dumping sites with the aid of repeated geoelectrical measurements in the system of fixed

PROGRAM ON HOUSING AND URBAN POLICY

These papers are preliminary in nature: their purpose is to stimulate discussion and comment. Therefore, they are not to be cited or quoted in any publication without the express permission of the author. Better management of real property is quite important for firms seeking to adopt more ecologically responsive business practices. Indeed, for many business functions (e.g., corporate offices) energy consumption and carbon emissions are determined principally by the choices firms make in their use of real estate. Buildings and their associated construction activity account for almost a third of global greenhouse gas emissions reported that about one quarter of greenhouse gas abatement potential involves improving efficiency in the real estate sector, at zero or even negative net costs to owners, occupants, and investors (Enkvist, Naucler & Rosander, 2007). The demand for 'green' real estate – real estate labeled for its exemplary environmental performance – is on the rise throughout the developed world. Examples range from a 'green campus' built by Chevron in Louisiana, to a carbon-neutral research facility developed by Royal Dutch Shell in Amsterdam, to the energy-efficient headquarters of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that commercial real estate markets in many countries have endured major contractions due to the economic crisis, the number of green buildings is rapidly increasing (Kok, McGraw & Quigley, 2011). Recent research has studied the economic implications of green office buildings in the U.S., documenting that green buildings command premium rental rates and sales prices over 2 Effective rents are estimated to be about six percent above the rents of conventional office buildings, and transaction prices are estimated to be sixteen percent higher. The research also shows that part of the rental and value increment can be explained by climatic factors and the thermal attributes of green buildings, so the immediate effects on firm profitability derived from lower utility costs are important. However, in many cases the premium commanded by a green building cannot be explained by energy savings alone. Factors other than short-term operational savings seem to influence corporate choices to operate in 'green' buildings. These factors suggest that there is an identifiable group of corporate real estate users who are willing to pay a premium for leasing green space. In this paper, we investigate the corporate motivations for the choice of green real estate, using the information provided by 'green' labels to conduct a detailed test of Bansal & …
