Published: October 2023

In this paper, preliminary theoretical research on abrupt change induced by the forcing term in a dynamical system is described. Taking the Lorenz equationtrajectoryasthe research object, the trajectory response to different pulse forcing terms is studied based on the stability theorem of differential equations and numerical methods. From the perspective of a dynamical system, abrupt changecan be classified as internal or external. The former reflectstrajectory self-adjustment inside the attractor, whereasthe latter represents the bizarre behaviorof the trajectoryin its deviation from the attractor. This classification helps in understanding the physical mechanisms of different manifestations of atmospheric abrupt change. For different intensities and durations of the pulse forcing term,which are simplified to the magnitude and width of a rectangular wave, respectively, the corresponding abrupt change is analyzed quantitatively. It is established that the larger the amplitude of the pulse forcing term, the greater the deviation of thetrajectory from the attractor and the more violent theabrupt change. Moreover, the greater the width of the pulse forcing term, the longer the duration over which the trajectory deviates from the attractor. Finally, two simple but meaningful linear relationships are obtained: one between the amplitude of the pulse forcing term and the distance of trajectory deviation from the attractor, and the other between the width of the pulse forcing term and the duration over which the trajectory dwells outside of the attractor. These relationships indicate that nonlinear systems have some linear properties.

Regional climate models (RCMs) give more reliable results for a regional impact study of climate change, but they still have a significant bias that has to be corrected before they can be utilised in climate change research. In this study, two methods for local bias correction of Tmax, Tmin and precipitation data at monthly scales, namely the modified difference approach (MDA) and the linear scaling (LS) method, were applied and validated to minimize the bias between the modelled (HAD GEM2-ES-GCM) and observed climate data in Central Kashmir Valley. Tmax, Tmin and precipitation correction functions generated using the LS method on a monthly time scale were shown to be excellent than MDA for bias correction of weather data to make it close to observed data in both scenarios (RCP 4.5 & 8.5). Comparison between two scenarios was done to determine the climate change extent in Central Kashmir Valley using LS method. The past 30 years observed average temperature and precipitation was 14.17 °C and 734.06 mm, respectively considered as a baseline for comparison purpose. Annual Taverage (°C) showed increase in all the three time slices and maximum increase by 3.09 and 5.72 °C during far future (FF) (2071-2095) under RCP 4.5 & 8.5, respectively. Whereas, the results of average annual precipitation also showed increase in future scenario and maximum increase by 29.25 mm (3.98%) during mid future (2046-2070) and 215.98 mm (29.42%) during end future (2071-2095), under RCP 4.5 & 8.5 respectively. It was concluded that under RCP 8.5 scenario climate change was quite significant than RCP 4.5.

Published: October 2023

The present study encompasses the performance of Land Surface Model (LSM) physics on simulation of Tropical Cyclones (TCs) key characteristics - track, mean sea level pressure (MSLP), maximum sustained wind (MSW) and rainfall. The impact of four LSM schemes - Thermal Diffusion, Noah, RUC and Noah-MP, is evaluated for the simulation of Severe Cyclonic Storm (SCS) ‘Vardah’ that crossed Tamil Nadu coast, near Chennai on 12 December, 2016 and Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storms (ESCS) ‘Fani’ that crossed Odisha coast, close to Puri on 03 May, 2019.
                For this purpose, the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting (ARW) model, configured with a single domain of 9 km horizontal resolution covering the Bay of Bengalis considered. The initial and lateral boundary conditions to the model integration are taken from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Final Analysis (FNL). The model simulated track is verified with India Meteorological Department (IMD) observed track for both the cases. The model simulated MSW and MSLP at the landfall location is validated with IMD best estimation along with fifth generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-analysis (ERA5) products. The rainfall associated with both the cyclones are compared with ERA5 and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) rainfall for its validation.
 
                The track of TCs Vardah and Fani are well simulated with all the four land surface schemes with reasonable accuracy in landfall position and time of landfall of the systems. The Along Track Error (ATE) and Cross Track Error (CTE) are minimal for the unified Noah LSM scheme. The landfall position error (about 2 km only) is significantly improved with the unified Noah scheme. In case of rainfall forecast, LSMs tend to overestimate the rainfall during landfall of both systems. It is also noticed that overestimation is more towards inland than on the coast. Out of all four LSMs, rainfall estimation from the RUC is closest to the GPM and ERA5 rainfall estimates during landfall. In addition to this, RUC scheme intensifies the cyclones in terms of MSLP and MSW during the landfall of the system as compared to the other parameterization schemes.

Published: October 2023

The rapid development of modern industrial society has relied heavily on cheap and abundant fossil fuel energy. However, to achieve sustainable development, there is an increasing focus on developing new energy sources such as photovoltaics (PV) and wind energy. In the context of using solar irradiance to generate electricity, predicting the solarpower in advance is crucial for efficient utilization. This paper utilizes the pvlib-python model to predict three types of irradiance in clear sky conditions: POA_DNI, POA_GHI, and POA_DHI. Furthermore, we incorporate aerosol data from pvlib to improve the prediction accuracy.Three sites from BSRN are selected and the predicted data are compared with the observed data to evaluate the model's prediction effectiveness. The result reveals that the model performs best for POA_GHI and the actual cloud cover distribution has a significant impact on the prediction accuracy.

Published: October 2023

Global climate change could have a substantial negative influence on Indian agriculture and becoming more common and intense growing as a result of food security. Indeed, the examination of weather variability on agricultural growth and production is always complex. The weather variability impact on agricultural growth and production has been evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis among various weather variables (minimum temperature, maximum temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and rainfall), vegetation indices (NDVI and LAI) and crop yield (wheat and rice) on yearly and monthly basis for the time period from the year 1991 to 2020 in the present study. Initially, the temporal behavior of weather variables and vegetation indices have been explored on the monthly and yearly time scale for the long term (1991-2020) along with crop yield over Indian state of Haryana. After that a Pearson correlation analysis have been carried out among the weather variables, vegetation indices and crop yield on monthly and yearly time scale, individually to understand the relationship of NDVI-weather and LAI- weather along with the long-term weather impact on agricultural production. A significant correlation is found between NDVI- weather and LAI- weather on monthly and yearly basis. The positive impact of the temperature, relative humidity and rainfall is found on the rice crop production, while the wind speed showed the negative impact on the rice crop production during the Kharif season in Haryana state of India during the years 1998-2018. In case of wheat crop (Rabi season), the minimum temperature, rainfall and relative humidity supports the wheat crop production, while the maximum temperature and wind speed showed the negative impact on the wheat yield in Haryana during the years 1998-2018. Overall, this study has found the annual increase in wheat crop yield approximately 0.044 tons per hectare, and rice crop yield 0.029 tons per hectare.

India is a country of versatility, diverse culture, and complex social dimensions. India has been a country of agriculture, and even in today’s era, the majority of the population relies on agriculture for their livelihood; however, despite all these facts, India has seen a tremendous growth and change in economy, science and technology, education, and so on. In the process of development, invention and innovation have gained immense importance, which have resulted in application of inventions and innovations in the form of technology. In this background, the legal protection for the inventors arises, which is being catered by intellectual property rights (IPR) in the whole world as well as India. In Indian context, the IPR has not yet reached every business organization because the word IPR has always been misunderstood by most of the people that it is meant only for science and scientific inventions, but the fact is IPR’s applicability is much wider and it is applicable even to the smallest businesses. In the entire world, China is a nation which has the highest number of IPR grants, followed by USA. IPR in the present situation is very prominent and relevant because changes in industries like telecommunication, computer science, and so on are in the frontline and India is not lagging in invention and innovations. In 2021, out of the total number of applications received, China has the major contribution, which amounts to 40%. But very shockingly, India is not even in the top 10, which hints us that India needs to be vigilant and needs more attention of IPR. This research article speaks on how India is progressing in applicability of IPR and why India is not extensively using the provisions of IPR. We all know that IPR includes various elements like patents, copyrights, and trademarks; geographical indicators; industrial design; and utility models. But to be more precise and detailed, we have narrowed down our study only to patents in India, and even in that, we have considered patent applications, patent grants, and patents in force. It is to be noted that India’s economy is vibrant and dynamic. An economy like India is truly in need of extensive use of IPR and its provision to protect the rights of the real owner and inventor. But most of the population is ignorant about the IPR, so we are making an attempt to understand what is India’s position in IPR and its applicability. To narrow down our research, we have confined our study to only patents. In a further study, we can analyze how we can improve the awareness, and it may also help us in updating of IPR laws and its provisions.

Chilli cultivation in rain-fed regions faced challenges due to environmental factors that resulting in reduced yields. To address these challenges and optimize chilli cultivation in such moisture stress conditions, a study was conducted to investigate the effects of Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) and Gibberellic Acid (GA3) as foliar sprays on the growth and yield parameters of chilli plants in 2022 at Ramghat, Surkhet, Nepal. The study utilized a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with different concentrations of NAA and GA3 as treatments, along with a control group. Various growth parameters such as plant height, number of branches and leaves per plant were monitored, along with yield parameters including fruit stalk length, fruit diameter, and yield per plant. The results indicated that NAA at 50 ppm significantly increased plant height, number of branches and leaves per plant compared to the control group at all growing stages. GA3 at different concentrations also generally resulted in higher phenotypic plant characters compared to the control and NAA treatments. However, high concentrations of both NAA and GA3 had negative effects on plant growth. In terms of yield parameters, both NAA and GA3 treatments showed promising results, with increased yield per plant compared to the control group. Notably, GA3 at 50 ppm demonstrated the highest yield per plant. These findings suggest that NAA at 50 ppm and GA3 at 50 ppm had the potential to enhance chilli cultivation in rain-fed regions by improving growth and increasing yields. The study provides valuable insights for chilli farmers especially to mitigate the challenges posed by moisture stress and improve profitability particularly in rain-fed conditions.
Chimeneas en el monte. Estrategias para la ubicación de ingenios azucareros ‘olvidados’ en el espacio rural de Tucumán (Argentina)
Authors: Moyano Daniel
Published: October 2023

A lo largo del siglo XIX, en la provincia de Tucumán (Argentina) el cultivo y procesamiento de la caña de azúcar cobró un creciente protagonismo. En el último cuarto de esa centuria, la actividad se expandió de manera sostenida mediante la modernización de numerosos establecimientos azucareros preindustriales y la fundación de otros erigidos ‘llave en mano’. En consecuencia, la fisonomía agroindustrial se modificó, con más de una treintena de modernas unidades fabriles distribuidas en las afueras de la ciudad capital, en el centro-sur de la provincia y, particularmente, en las tierras al naciente, hoy departamento Cruz Alta.
En este proceso, varias iniciativas empresariales no tuvieron continuidad y numerosos ingenios de diferentes escalas y tecnologías cerraron sus puertas. En la mayoría de los casos, se conoce su ubicación geográfica y sus trayectorias, pero existe un buen número de establecimientos azucareros que, por diversos motivos, quedaron en el olvido, ignorándose casi por completo su existencia. El artículo explora las alternativas que ofrecen diversas fuentes para su localización, se exponen los obstáculos, las estrategias metodológicas implementadas y el hallazgo de los vestigios materiales de cuatro ingenios prácticamente desconocidos en el espacio rural tucumano.
Pueblos y colonias fantasmas. Perspectiva arqueológica del crecimiento poblacional del norte de la Pampa (1884–1930)
Authors: Risez Graciela B. C.
Published: October 2023

Entre 1884 y 1930, una vez finalizadas las campañas militares que diezmaron a las poblaciones indígenas y saquearon sus tierras (1878-1885), el norte del entonces Territorio Nacional de la Pampa Central -actual Provincia de La Pampa- fue escenario de un proceso acelerado de poblamiento ligado a la explotación rural y promovido por el incipiente Estado nacional. La sanción de diferentes leyes de fines del siglo XIX permitió cumplir con un doble objetivo: por un lado, establecer quiénes serían los nuevos dueños de las tierras conquistadas y, por otro, organizar el territorio al determinar en su redacción, cómo serían las plantas urbanas de los asentamientos a fundarse. Estos nuevos poblados han tenido un proceso de surgimiento, apogeo y continuidad o declinación y abandono en su dinámica poblacional. En el presente trabajo, me centraré en cinco de ellos (dos pueblos y tres colonias agrícolas) que han fracasado en su continuidad poblacional, deviniendo en “pueblos fantasmas”, y los relacionaré con lo redactado en estas leyes con el objeto de generar diferentes expectativas arqueológicas.

O sistema de franquia concede o direito ao franqueado de acessar um conhecimento sobre um dado negócio e possibilita a  troca de experiências entre os agentes como mecanismo para alcançar o sucesso da parceria. O presente trabalho buscou analisar como a franquia se configura em uma estratégia de crescimento para empreendimentos familiares. Para isto, realizou-se um estudo multicaso com três franquias geridas por unidades familiares atuantes na cidade de Mariana-MG. O escopo da investigação é qualitativo e exploratório. Foram executadas entrevistas com os principais gestores destas organizações, sendo que para a análise de dados, empregou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo. A relevância deste trabalho consiste em relacionar franquia e  organizações de caráter familiar, além de em termos práticos contribuir para o maior conhecimento dos gestores sobre a realidade vivenciada em suas respectivas organizações. Como resultado, verificou-se que existem relações de cooperação processadas no âmbito do sistema de franquias que devem ser o ponto de partida para se maximizar as relações entre franqueador e franqueado na busca por obtenção de uma eficiência coletiva na expansão de empresas familiares. Portanto, o presente estudo avança ao evidenciar a franquia como um sistema eficaz de crescimento e garantia de longevidade para empresas familiares.

Atualmente, um dos maiores problemas sobre as áreas urbanas é a perturbação das características da atmosfera no meio urbano. Os principais motivos para essa ocorrência é a substituição de elementos naturais por elementos artificiais, como edificações e impermeabilização do solo. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar a ocorrência do fenômeno de ilhas de calor, caracterizando sua intensidade e monitorando seu desenvolvimento na cidade do Recife, capital de Pernambuco (PE). Foram realizadas medições utilizando sensores de temperatura e umidade em três bairros, tendo como referência uma área com significativa densidade de vegetação, e outros pontos localizados com maior fluxo de carro e maior impermeabilização do solo. Os dados foram recolhidos a cada meia hora registrando-os simultaneamente em cada local. Os dados históricos mostraram um aumento gradual da temperatura na cidade e uma diminuição na umidade. Já com relação aos dados de campo, houve uma gradativa diferença entre a área com representação de unidades arbóreas e a área coberta por edificações e solo impermeabilizado.

Published: October 2023

Este estudo analisa pesquisas sobre Escolas de Iniciação Agrícola (EIA) e o ensino de matemática nessas escolas, no período de 2006 a 2022. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática, com base em teses e dissertações nacionais. O descritor utilizado para a busca foi "Iniciação Agrícola". As buscas foram feitas na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) e no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). Após aplicar critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram localizados 17 estudos. Os critérios de inclusão foram: a) teses e dissertações indexadas na BDTD e/ou no catálogo da CAPES, no período de 2006 a 2022; b) estudos que abordaram Iniciação Agrícola. Os critérios de exclusão foram: a) teses e dissertações não relacionadas à iniciação agrícola; b) dissertações e teses repetidas nas bases de dados. Os resultados revelaram quatro estudos sobre as EIA, que, apesar de contribuírem para a compreensão histórica dessas instituições, não problematizaram especificamente as particularidades do ensino presente nessas escolas, ressaltando a importância de novas pesquisas sobre o tema.
