Hydrological Early Warning System Based on a Deep Learning Runoff Model Coupled with a Meteorological Forecast
Authors: de la Fuente Alberto , Meruane Viviana , Meruane Carolina
Published: August 2019

The intensification of the hydrological cycle because of global warming raises concerns about future floods and their impact on large cities where exposure to these events has also increased. The development of adequate adaptation solutions such as early warning systems is crucial. Here, we used deep learning (DL) for weather-runoff forecasting in región Metropolitana of Chile, a large urban area in a valley at the foot of the Andes Mountains, with more than 7 million inhabitants. The final goal of this research is to develop an effective forecasting system to provide timely information and support in real-time decision making. For this purpose, we implemented a coupled model of a near-future global meteorological forecast with a short-range runoff forecasting system. Starting from a traditional hydrological conceptual model, we defined the hydro-meteorological and geomorphological variables that were used in the data-driven weather-runoff forecast models. The meteorological variables were obtained through statistical scaling of the Global Forecast System (GFS), thus enabling near-future prediction, and two data-driven approaches were implemented for predicting the entire hourly flow time-series in the near future (3 days), a simple Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and a Deep Learning (DL) approach based on Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) cells. We show that the coupling between meteorological forecasts and data-driven weather-runoff forecast models are able to satisfy two basic requirements that any early warning system should have: The forecast should be given in advance, and it should be accurate and reliable. In this context, DL significantly improves runoff forecast when compared with a traditional data-driven approach such as ANN, being accurate in predicting time-evolution of output variables, with an error of 5% for DL, measured in terms of the root mean square error (RMSE) for predicting the peak flow, compared to 15.5% error for ANN, which is adequate to warn communities at risk and initiate disaster response operations.

The coupling of nitrification and denitrification has attracted wide attention since it plays an important role in mitigating eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems. However, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. In order to study the coupling relationship between nitrification and denitrification, as well as its effect on phosphorus release, nutrient levels, functional gene abundance and potential rates involved in nitrification and denitrification were analyzed in three shallow urban lakes with different nutrient status. Trophic level was found positively related to not only copy numbers of functional genes of nitrosomonas and denitrifiers, but also the potential nitrification and denitrification rates. In addition, the concentrations of different forms of phosphorus showed a positive correlation with the number of nitrosomonas and denitrifiers, as well as potential nitrification and denitrification rates. Furthermore, the number of functional genes of nitrosomonas exhibited positive linear correlations with functional genes and rate of denitrification. These facts suggested that an increase in phosphorus concentration might have promoted the coupling of nitrification and denitrification by increasing their functional genes. Strong nitrification–denitrification fueled the nitrogen removal from the system, and accelerated the phosphorus release due to the anaerobic state caused by organic matter decomposition and nitrification. Moreover, dissolved organic nitrogen was also released into the water column during this process, which was favorable for balancing the nitrogen and phosphorus ratio. In conclusion, the close coupling between nitrification and denitrification mediated by nitrifier denitrification had an important effect on the cycling mode of nitrogen and phosphorus.
Activated Carbon Mixed with Marine Sediment is Suitable as Bioanode Material for Spartina anglica Sediment/Plant Microbial Fuel Cell: Plant Growth, Electricity Generation, and Spatial Microbial Community Diversity
Authors: Sudirjo Emilius , Buisman Cees J.N. , Strik David P.B.T.B.
Published: August 2019

Wetlands cover a significant part of the world’s land surface area. Wetlands are permanently or temporarily inundated with water and rich in nutrients. Therefore, wetlands equipped with Plant-Microbial Fuel Cells (Plant-MFC) can provide a new source of electricity by converting organic matter with the help of electrochemically active bacteria. In addition, sediments provide a source of electron donors to generate electricity from available (organic) matters. Eight lab-wetlands systems in the shape of flat-plate Plant-MFC were constructed. Here, four wetland compositions with activated carbon and/or marine sediment functioning as anodes were investigated for their suitability as a bioanode in a Plant-MFC system. Results show that Spartina anglica grew in all of the plant-MFCs, although the growth was less fertile in the 100% activated carbon (AC100) Plant-MFC. Based on long-term performance (2 weeks) under 1000 ohm external load, the 33% activated carbon (AC33) Plant-MFC outperformed the other plant-MFCs in terms of current density (16.1 mA/m2 plant growth area) and power density (1.04 mW/m2 plant growth area). Results also show a high diversity of microbial communities dominated by Proteobacteria with 42.5–69.7% relative abundance. Principal Coordinates Analysis shows clear different bacterial communities between 100% marine sediment (MS100) Plant-MFC and AC33 Plant-MFC. This result indicates that the bacterial communities were affected by the anode composition. In addition, small worms (Annelida phylum) were found to live around the plant roots within the anode of the wetland with MS100. These findings show that the mixture of activated carbon and marine sediment are suitable material for bioanodes and could be useful for the application of Plant-MFC in a real wetland. Moreover, the usage of activated carbon could provide an additional function like wetland remediation or restoration, and even coastal protection.
Nonstationary Flood Hazard Analysis in Response to Climate Change and Population Growth
Authors: Yan Lei , Li Lingqi , Yan Pengtao , He Hongmou , Li Jing , Lu Dongyang
Published: August 2019

The predictions of flood hazard over the design life of a hydrological project are of great importance for hydrological engineering design under the changing environment. The concept of a nonstationary flood hazard has been formulated by extending the geometric distribution to account for time-varying exceedance probabilities over the design life of a project. However, to our knowledge, only time covariate is used to estimate the nonstationary flood hazard over the lifespan of a project, which lacks physical meaning and may lead to unreasonable results. In this study, we aim to strengthen the physical meaning of nonstationary flood hazard analysis by investigating the impacts of climate change and population growth. For this purpose, two physical covariates, i.e., rainfall and population, are introduced to improve the characterization of nonstationary frequency over a given design lifespan. The annual maximum flood series of Xijiang River (increasing trend) and Weihe River (decreasing trend) are chosen as illustrations, respectively. The results indicated that: (1) the explanatory power of population and rainfall is better than time covariate in the study areas; (2) the nonstationary models with physical covariates possess more appropriate statistical parameters and thus are able to provide more reasonable estimates of a nonstationary flood hazard; and (3) the confidences intervals of nonstationary design flood can be greatly reduced by employing physical covariates. Therefore, nonstationary flood design and hazard analysis with physical covariates are recommended in changing environments.
Physical Parameterization of IDF Curves Based on Short-Duration Storms
Authors: Gutierrez-Lopez Alfonso , Jimenez Hernandez Sergio Bernardo , Escalante Sandoval Carlos
Published: August 2019

Intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves are empirical mathematical formulations that have been used for years in engineering for planning, design, and operation of hydraulic projects. The expression proposed by Sherman (1931) has been validated and used largely by many researchers. In all cases, the four parameters of this formulation are obtained through a numerical procedure. Although these parameters are obtained from historical rainfall observations, the optimization of these parameters implies an infinite combination between them and all those solutions would be valid. Of the four parameters, only one of them (C) has units, and for this reason, a physical sense of parameter C is searched for. Having certainty that some of them can be measured in situ would represent a great advance for modern hydrology. With data from 523 storms monitored every minute, a parametric adjustment was made to the Sherman equation and the typical duration of storms at each site was also obtained. To demonstrate how rainfall intensities vary with the change in C value, rainfall intensities calculations for of 5, 10, 15, and 20 min rainfall duration are used to validate the proposed methodology. The results show that typical storm duration is correlated with the additive parameter of Sherman’s formula.

An introductory look at the Paraguayan news media
Authors: De Mayo Mariana , Torres González Gustavo
Published: August 2019

Um pequeno país cercado por vizinhos maiores, o Paraguai recebeu até agora pouca atenção de estudiosos da mídia. O objetivo deste artigo é ajudar a preencher essa ausência, descrevendo a história e a situação contemporânea do jornalismo no Paraguai para um público internacional. A mídia paraguaia reflete traços e tendências do sistema político desde a criação do país. Durante a Primeira República do Paraguai (1811-1870), quando a defesa da independência da Espanha e dos países vizinhos maiores era primordial, o Estado detinha o monopólio dos mecanismos de comunicação com a população e nem a imprensa de oposição nem vozes isoladas contestavam o regime do líder da independência José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia (1811-1840) (ACOSTA, 2008; ORUÉ POZZO, 2012). O sistema de mídia e o jornalismo do Paraguai têm características que são percebidas também nos países vizinhos, incluindo paralelismo político, censura, concentração de propriedade, violência contra jornalistas e a interrupção inesperada de propostas de reformas pelo Estado voltadas para o pluralismo da mídia. Essas semelhanças, porém, se baseiam em uma história e posição geográfica únicas, que fazem do Paraguai um caso interessante para entender e localizar tendências da mídia na região. A luta do país pela sua independência e o regime de partido único moldaram a forma como a mídia e os jornalistas exercem hoje a sua profissão.

KAMPANYE LGBT DI MEDIA SOSIAL FACEBOOK DAN WHATSAPP
Authors: Juliani Reni
Published: August 2019

Indonesia is a country where all religious leaders reject LGBT behavior. Due to the uncertainty about the fate of their existence, LGBT people are increasingly aggressively advocating for legal protection and LGBT legalization in Indonesia. Internet campaigns are mostly chosen by LGBT people as a media campaign for them. This can be seen from the rise of social media used by the Indonesian people, especially Facebook and Whatsapp. Based on the phenomenom described above, the researcher is trying to figure out how the campaigns are being conducted by LGBT people on Facebook and Whatsapp. This study used a library research method where the results showed that Facebook and Whatsapp were indeed social media followers of the LGBT campaign. Facebook and Whatsapp have their own LGBT group. The Facebook and Whatsapp chat pages also include emo, stickers and gifs with LGBT symbols such as rainbow colors, pride, gay words and other words and illustrations that lead to LGBT. Keywords: Campaign, LGBT, Facebook, Whatsapp.

Decentralization has become one of the important phenomena that must be mentioned in the era of the last 10 years, where the great power of the central government in the past (precisely in the New Order era) has now been replaced with the introduction of regional autonomy, although this work is still being carried out, revised here and there , while we also see the phenomenon of more regional leaders (mayors, regents, or governors) who are suspected of corruption cases in various regions. Inevitably corruption becomes something decentralized too. In this situation, where is the position of the local press? Did he participate in guarding the existing democratization process, or did he also become part of the existing problem? Exactly whether we are talking about the role of the local press as a solution to the problem of corruption, or whether the local press is actually part of the problem of corruption.

МонахиизЗографавКиевеиМосквев20-30-егг.XVIIв.
Authors: Tchentsova V.G.
Published: August 2019

In 1635 a Meletios nicknamed the Macedonian published the first Slavonic book in a printing house that had been founded shortly before that by the Prince of Wallachia Matei Basarab in Cmpulung. Later on Meletios became the abbot of the Govora monastery where the book printing flourished. The only known fact about his biography and his activities was discovered from the prefaces of the books published by him. He was a monk from the monastery of Zographou on Mount Athos and after a stay in the Russian Lands where he had learnt the art of printing , he offered his services to the Wallachian ruler. Some documents from the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts make it possible to retrace the story of a certain Meletios from Zographou who was active in Kyiv and in Russia or, it might be better to say, in Ruthenian lands in the 1620s and maintained, as it seems, a rather close acquaintance with several well known intellectuals of the Metropolitan See of Kyiv, such as Isaakii Boryskovych, Job Boretsky and Pamva Berynda, who were all very active in book printing. Close ties of the Ruthenian intellectual elite with Zographou allow us to suggest that this keen interest in the art of printing , which, according to Meletios own words, he had already developed on Mount Athos, was not at all accidental. Archival materials also suggest close ties of the Athonite Zographou community with the Romanian principalities and with the authorities of Kyiv, from where they started their almscollecting trips to Russia.

В 1635 году некий Мелетий по прозвищу македонец издал первую славянскую книгу в типографии, которая незадолго до этого была основана князем Валахии Матеем Басарабом в Кымпулунге. Позже Мелетий стал настоятелем монастыря, где процветало книгопечатание. Единственный известный факт о его биографии и деятельности был обнаружен из предисловий изданных им книг. Он был монахом из монастыря Зограф на Афоне и после пребывания в русских землях , где он научился искусству печати , он предложил свои услуги Валахскому правителю. Некоторые документы из Российского государственного архива древних актов позволяют проследить историю некоего Мелетия из Зографа, который действовал в Киеве и в русских или, лучше сказать, в русских землях в 1620е гг. и поддерживал, судя по всему, довольно тесное знакомство с несколькими известными интеллигентами Киевского митрополичьего престола, такими как Исаакий Борыскович, Иов Борецкий и Памва Беринда, которые все были очень активны в книгопечатании. Тесные связи русской интеллектуальной элиты с Зографу позволяют предположить, что этот острый интерес к искусству печати , который, по словам самого Мелетия, он уже развил на Афоне, был вовсе не случайным. Архивные материалы также свидетельствуют о тесных связях Афонской общины Зографу с румынскими княжествами и с киевским престолом, откуда они начали свои богослужебные поездки в Россию.
INFECTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH GIVING MEDICAL

We conducted the meta-analysis of morbidity by infections associated with giving medical care in
hospitals of Russia. A total of 23 publications were included in the review, and random effects model by
the maximum likelihood method was applied to summarize their results. High heterogeneity of sample
estimates was revealed, which is apparently associated with different approaches to the identification and
synthesis of cases.
The highest morbidity rates were recorded among patients of emergency department and intensive care
(353 ‰, 95 % CI = 268–439) and patients undergoing surgery on the abdominal organs (194, 163–224);
infections of the bloodstream (36, 28–43 ‰), postoperative pneumonia (26, 22–31 ‰), PSI (purulent
septic infections) of newborns (30, 27–32 ‰) and new mothers (23, 20–27 ‰) were less common.

Effects of Cadmium and /or Chromium on reproductive organs and semen profiles of male albino rats
Authors: Abd Elhafeez Eman , Halawa Amal , Hamed Mohamed , Abouelmaged Mamdouh
Published: August 2019

Objective: To evaluate the potential hazards of cadmium and/or chromium on the reproductive system of adult male albino rat.
Design: Randomized controlled study.
Animals: Forty mature male albino rats weighing 260 ± 10 g.
Procedures: Rats were allocated into four groups (ten animals each). Control group (group 1), group 2 received 4.4 mg kg-1 cadmium chloride, group 3 was given 2.5 mg kg-1 sodium dichromate and group 4 received combination of Cd (2.2 mg kg-1) and Cr (1.25mg kg-1) orally, once daily for 65 consecutive days.
Results: Exposure to Cd or Cr, in particular their combination, caused a reduction in the index weights of testes, epididymis, seminal vesicle and prostate glands. They induced a reduction of sperm count and viability with an increase of abnormal sperm morphology. Interestingly, in the combination group (Cd and Cr together), the deleterious effects were more noticeable. Pathologically, both Cd and Cr produced degenerative changes in seminiferous tubules, necrosis of spermatogenic epithelium within the testis. Moreover, the interstitial tissue of epididymis showed marked edema and prostate showed necrosis and serous exudate of lining epithelium. In the interaction group, testis showed complete degenerative changes and necrosis of spermatogenic epithelium, with marked interstitial edema and hyperplastic epithelial lining of epididymal tubules.
Conclusion and clinical relevance: The present results support the hypothesis that the testis is one of the most sensitive organs to Cd and/or Cr and that the exposure to any of them or to their combination lead to testicular damage and thereby male infertility.

The Lanthanide Fraction Distribution in Metal-poor Stars: A Test of Neutron Star Mergers as the Dominant r-process Site
Authors: Ji Alexander P. , Drout Maria R. , Hansen Terese T.
Published: August 2019

Multimessenger observations of the neutron star merger GW170817 and its kilonova proved that neutron star mergers can synthesize large quantities of r-process elements. If neutron star mergers in fact dominate all r-process element production, then the distribution of kilonova ejecta compositions should match the distribution of r-process abundance patterns observed in stars. The lanthanide fraction (X
La) is a measurable quantity in both kilonovae and metal-poor stars, but it has not previously been explicitly calculated for stars. Here we compute the lanthanide fraction distribution of metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < − 2.5) to enable comparison to current and future kilonovae. The full distribution peaks at log X
La ∼ −1.8, but r-process-enhanced stars ([Eu/Fe] > 0.7) have distinctly higher lanthanide fractions:

). These high-X
La kilonovae may be fainter and more rapidly evolving than GW170817, posing a challenge for discovery and follow-up observations. Both optical and (mid-)infrared observations will be required to robustly constrain kilonova lanthanide fractions. If such high-X
La kilonovae are not found in the next few years, that likely implies that the stars with the highest r-process enhancements have a different origin for their r-process elements.

Molecules and dust produced by the atmospheres of cool evolved stars contribute to a significant amount of the total material found in the interstellar medium. To understand the mechanism behind the mass loss of these stars, it is of pivotal importance to investigate the structure and dynamics of their atmospheres. Our goal is to verify if the extended molecular and dust layers of the carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star V Oph, and their time variations, can be explained by dust-driven winds triggered by stellar pulsation alone, or if other mechanisms are in play. We model V Oph mid-infrared interferometric VLTI-MIDI data (8–13 μm), at phases 0.18, 0.49, and 0.65, together with literature photometric data, using the latest-generation self-consistent dynamic atmosphere models for carbon-rich stars: DARWIN. We determine the fundamental stellar parameters: T
eff = 2600 K, L
bol = 3585 L
⊙, M = 1.5 M
⊙, C/O = 1.35,

M
⊙ yr−1. We calculate the stellar photospheric radii at the three phases: 479, 494, 448 R
⊙; and the dust radii: 780, 853, 787 R
⊙. The dynamic models can fairly explain the observed N-band visibility and spectra, although there is some discrepancy between the data and the models, which is discussed in the text. We discuss the possible causes of the temporal variations of the outer atmosphere, deriving an estimate of the magnetic field strength, and computing upper limits for the Alfvén waves velocity. In addition, using period–luminosity sequences, and interferometric modeling, we suggest V Oph as a candidate to be reclassified as a semi-regular star.

Published: August 2019

We describe the database of trees and shrubs of tropical dry forest patches of the Magdalena upper river basin in Colombia, preserved in the Herbarium of Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales. The dataset includes 211 taxa, from which 156 were identified to species. We reported 48 families and 137 genera. The most species rich and abundant families were Fabaceae and Rubiaceae and the most abundant species wasTalisia stricta(Sapindaceae). We found differences in diversity between north and south zones of the study area.

The Magdalena river upper watershed region is an important tropical dry forest conservation area. Twenty nine species and 4 genera recorded in this study have not been reported in previous reviews of the region. Additionally,Oxandra espintanais reported in literature as critically endangered andAspidosperma polyneuronis reported as endangered, but there are no studies about their conservation status in the region. Our results suggest the strong need to develop additional inventories of plants that contribute to the knowledge of the plant diversity of this ecosystem in the region and studies of their conservation status.

Authors: Sivanand R. , Chellammal S. , Manivannan S.
Published: August 2019

In this paper, the effect of size variation of cadmium sulphide nanocrystallites which have been prepared by precipitation method is analyzed. These prepared samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy dispersive analysis of spectroscopy (EDAX) techniques. SEM analysis represents the morphological nature of prepared samples and EDAX indicates the confirmation of elements present in the sample. XRD analysis determines the size of the samples and identifies the structure using miller indices (h k l values) of the nanocrystallies matches with JCPDS. From the XRD analysis, the size variation which depends on dopant, capping agent are discussed and corresponding results are reported in this paper.

Published: August 2019

The properties of a composite are depending on the manufacturing process, fiber and its configuration, epoxy used etc. The present research deals with the tensile and wear behaviour of the composites manufactured using Hand Layup (HL) and Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP) with structural and non-structural epoxy combination. 4-layerd (all the layers are oriented in the longitudinal direction) unidirectional CFRP was manufactured using VIP and those results were compared with the HL made samples. The addition of structural epoxy in the resin mixer have shown a significant effect on its fiber volume fraction, tensile and erosion properties. The effect of vacuum pressure in mould cavity on the tensile strength of the CFRP composite was also studied. The morphologies of the CFRP composites made with VIP and HL were studied with the help of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The CFRP composites manufactured through VIP have shown a greater tensile strength but it was poor in wear resistance. The addition of structural adhesive to the resin system enhanced the wear resistance. Hence it made the VIP a recommended process for composite manufacturing where both tensile and wear properties are required.

Smart materials technologies are most significant in 21st-century. "Smart Materials" shall have a crucial role in construction technology. These innovative materials constitute an important part of smart building systems that shall be capable to detect its surrounding, so that the smart materials behave similar to living systems. The design of smart materials involves highly integrated components and requires interdisciplinary knowledge. Smart materials, are capable of adapting to their exterior surrounding. They alter their properties by applying exterior physical stimuli and thus adapt to their external environment in best possible manner. In the process of adapting to their external environment they involve various energy conversion processes. Thus mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy and vice versa by smart materials during their functioning. Smart materials are therefore predetermined and predesigned to perform as sensors and actuators as the need be. This paper discusses various types of smart materials available, their characteristics and applications in smart infrastructure.

Published: August 2019

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a technique employed to significantly enhance the corrosion and tribological properties of the materials by forming an oxide ceramic film on the surface of the material. In this investigation, ZM21 Mg alloy was subjected to PEO treatment in silicate and phosphate-based aqueous solutions of 5grams and 10 grams per liter concentrations. The oxide film was characterized using SEM, profilometer, thickness meter, and polarization test. Results showed that the oxide film obtained with 10g/L phosphate-based solution offers higher corrosion resistance than the oxide films formed with other solutions.

Ni based super alloy 617 is widely used in transition liners in both aircraft and land-based gas turbines, power plant applications because of its high temperature strength, oxidation resistance and creep properties. Ni based alloys are highly susceptible to hot cracking like solidification and liquation racking issues. In this present work, the susceptibility of alloy 617 to solidification cracking is studied based on the varestraint test. Results of this weldability test proved that in addition to the solidification cracking susceptibility alloy 617 is prone to liquation cracking also. Keywords: Varestraint test, Alloy 617, Solidification cracking, Liquidation cracking.

Published: August 2019

Nowadays finite element software is used for the design and analysis of reinforced concrete slabs. This paper intends to have a critical review based on a comparison study between the three design methods and to estimate the amount of reinforcement to be provided in each case. The three methods discussed are; the three-layer sandwich model (IRC 112-2011), Wood Armer method (EN1992-1-1:2004) and the conventional design method as per IS 456-2000. In the recently revised code for bridges IRC 112-2011, there is a recommendation to adopt three-layer sandwich model for the design of reinforced concrete slab. In this paper, a critical review of this method is done, and it is used for slabs subjected to uniformly distributed load. This method is illustrated by considering the design of rectangular slab subjected to uniformly distributed load. The results of this method are compared with the results obtained using Wood Armer method and using the moment coefficients suggested in IS 456-2000.
