description: Based on our model and theory of nonlinear deformation for BCC binary interstitial alloy built by the statistical moment method, we perform numerical calculations for characteristic quantities of nonlinear deformation such as the density of deformation energy, the maximum real stress, the limit of elastic deformation together with the stress-strain curve for metal Fe and alloy FeSi with the BCC structure at temperature up to 1100K, pressures up to 10 GPa, and silicon concentrations up to 4%. The calculated results of Fe are compared with experiments and the calculated results of FeSi are our new predictions.

description: We present a novel radiation hydrodynamics code, START, which is a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) scheme coupled with accelerated radiative transfer. The basic idea for the acceleration of radiative transfer is parallel to the tree algorithm that is hitherto used to speed up the gravitational force calculation in an N-body system. It is demonstrated that the radiative transfer calculations can be dramatically accelerated, where the computational time is scaled as Np log Ns for Np SPH particles and Ns radiation sources. Such acceleration allows us to readily include not only numerous sources but also scattering photons, even if the total number of radiation sources is comparable to that of SPH particles. Here, a test simulation is presented for a multiple source problem, where the results with START are compared to those with a radiation SPH code without tree-based acceleration. We find that the results agree well with each other if we set the tolerance parameter as < 1.0, and then it demonstrates that START can solve radiative transfer faster without reducing the accuracy. One of important applications with START is to solve the transfer of diffuse ionizing photons, where each SPH particle is regarded as an emitter. To illustrate the competence of START, we simulate the shadowing effect by dense clumps around an ionizing source. As a result, it is found that the erosion of shadows by diffuse recombination photons can be solved. Such an effect is of great significance to reveal the cosmic reionization process.

description: Στις μέρες μας οι ραγδαίες τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις και η αμέλεια του σωστού αστικού σχεδιασμού κάνουν τον άνθρωπο να απομακρύνεται από το φυσικό περιβάλλον και κατ’ επέκταση τη σωματική άσκηση. Έτσι θεωρείται απαραίτητη η βελτίωση του αστικού σχεδιασμού για την ενσωμάτωση της φυσικής άσκησης στην καθημερινότητα των ανθρώπων.
Ένας από τους τρόπους ενσωμάτωσης φυσικών στοιχείων και πρασίνου στην πόλη αποτελεί ο οικολογικός σχεδιασμός, ο οποίος βοηθά στην συμβίωση μεταξύ αστικού και φυσικού περιβάλλοντος. Ιδιαίτερη προσοχή πρέπει επίσης να δοθεί στην εθνική βλάστηση καθώς κάνει τους χώρους υπαίθριας άσκησης πιο προσιτούς και ευχάριστους στους χρήστες.
Σημαντική είναι επίσης η αλληλεπίδραση του αθλητισμού και της φύσης σε καθημερινή βάση με τον συνύπαρξη της αντίστοιχης περιβαλλοντικής παιδείας που πρέπει να παρέχεται. Επίσης εξηγείται γιατί πρέπει να συνδυάζεται ο αθλητισμός και η αναψυχή στα πλαίσια του αστικού περιβάλλοντος.
Τέλος αναπτύσσονται αρχές όπως η σημασία της καλής θέσης της αθλητικής δραστηριότητας στην πόλη και η εξασφάλιση γειτονικής σχέσης με δημόσιο χώρο, έτσι ώστε να δημιουργηθεί ένα πρόγραμμα που θα περιλαμβάνει αθλητικές αλυσίδες, έξυπνους συνδυασμούς και μεικτά προγράμματα χρήσεων με στόχο την ανάπτυξη έξυπνων στρατηγικών επανάχρησης του δημόσιου χώρου και χρήσεων φιλοαθλητικού βίου που θα απευθύνονται σε όλες τις ηλικιακές ομάδες.

description: For an ergodic hyperbolic measure $ω$ of a $C^{1+α}$ diffeomorphism, there is an $ω$ full-measured set $\tildeΛ$ such that every nonempty, compact and connected subset $V$ of $\mathbb{M}_{inv}(\tildeΛ)$ coincides with the accumulating set of time averages of Dirac measures supported at {\it one orbit}, where $\mathbb{M}_{inv}(\tildeΛ)$ denotes the space of invariant measures supported on $\tildeΛ$. Such state points corresponding to a fixed $V$ are dense in the support $supp(ω)$. Moreover, $\mathbb{M}_{inv}(\tildeΛ)$ can be accumulated by time averages of Dirac measures supported at {\it one orbit}, and such state points form a residual subset of $supp(ω)$. These extend results of Sigmund [9] from uniformly hyperbolic case to non-uniformly hyperbolic case. As a corollary, irregular points form a residual set of $supp(ω)$.

description: The polymerization of actin via branching at a cell membrane containing nucleation-promoting factors is simulated using a stochastic-growth methodology. The polymerized-actin distribution displays three types of behavior: a) traveling waves, b) moving patches, and c) random fluctuations. Increasing actin concentration causes a transition from patches to waves. The waves and patches move by a treadmilling mechanism which does not require myosin II. The effects of downregulation of key proteins on actin wave behavior are evaluated.

Discovery of a Highly Unequal-Mass Binary T Dwarf with Keck Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics: A Coevality Test of Substellar Theoretical Models and Effective Temperatures

description: (Abridged) Highly unequal-mass ratio binaries are rare among field brown dwarfs, with the known census described by q^(4.9+/-0.7). However, such systems can test the joint accuracy of evolutionary and atmospheric models, under the constraint of coevality (the "isochrone test''). We carry out this test using two of the most extreme field substellar binaries currently known, the T1+T6 \eps Ind Bab binary and a newly discovered 0.14" T2.0+T7.5 binary, 2MASS 1209-10AB. Based on the locations of the components on the H-R diagram, models successfully indicate that the systems are coeval, with internal age differences of log(age) = 0.5{+0.4}{-0.3} and -0.8+/-1.3 dex, respectively. However, the total mass of \eps Ind Bab derived from the H-R diagram (~80 Mjup) is discrepant with the reported dynamical mass. This problem, which is independent of the assumed age of the system, can be explained by a ~50-100 K systematic error in the model atmosphere fitting; bringing the two mass determinations into consistency leads to an inferred age of ~6 Gyr for the \eps Ind system, older than previously assumed. Overall, the two T dwarf binaries studied here, along with recent results from T dwarfs in age and mass benchmark systems, yield evidence for small (~100 K) errors in the evolutionary models and/or model atmospheres, but not significantly larger. Finally, the binary nature of 2MASS 1209-10AB reduces its utility as the primary T3 near-IR spectral typing standard; we suggest SDSS 1206+28 as a replacement.

description: Equivalent to relational databases, there is a need for an evolution language for graph databases that describes how evolution operations such as add, rename, delete, copy, move, split and merge are specified domain independent. Previous work proposes the graph evolution language called GEO, which we build upon.
In this paper, we present our program called Nautilus, implementing this formal language, used to define evolution and intuitively easing the usage of graph database systems. GEO can also be used to update implicit structures in the graph data. Users benefit not only from an easy-to-use interface to minimize syntax errors and to reduce the necessary knowledge of the evolution language, but also from additional statistics on database structures which are visualized in the tool. This visualization allows initial data exploration as well as identifying the effects of the development by comparing data versions.
Consequently, Nautilus is capable of widening the range of users and accessibility of graph databases for interdisciplinary research projects. Illustrating schema changes and performing schema evolution transparently builds the core of Nautilus. Complex operations like split and transform are part of the available evolution language, thus avoiding programming workarounds. An additional feature of the tool is a logging components that offers the traceability of all performed evolution operations.
The long non-coding RNA landscape of neuroendocrine prostate cancer and its clinical implications, biological dysregulation, and functional impact
Creators: name: Ramnarine, Varune Rohan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal subtype of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). It can develop de novo from prostate neuroendocrine cells, yet primarily is a treatment-induced phenotype arising from transdifferentiated prostate adenocarcinoma (AD) cells (NEtD). Currently there is an unmet clinical need for predictive biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and more reliable diagnostics. In this dissertation we use the first-in-field patient-derived xenograft model of NEtD, six in vitro CRPC/NEPC models, and ~30,000 PCa patient samples, including 344 NEPC or molecular analogous NEPC samples. We implement a state-of-the-art next-generation sequence analysis pipeline, capable of detecting transcripts at low expression levels to build a comprehensive lncRNA catalog (~N=40,000). Our xenograft model enabled identification of transcriptional changes during NEtD. Our in vitro models were used for functionalization and our patient samples were used to determine clinical relevancy and/or to test for patient survival. In Chapter I, we review lncRNA research in PCa over the last 30 years. We include known genomic structures, mechanisms of actions, roles in PCa progression, and their use in disease management. In Chapter II, we identify a 122-lncRNA signature capable of robustly classifying NEPC from AD, 25 with predictive ability to classify metastatic patients, and 2 (SSTR5-AS1 and LINC00514) capable of stratifying patients more probable to develop metastasis following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). In Chapter III, we identify two NEPC molecular subtypes driven by lncRNAs FENDRR and GAS5. They also have a predictive ability to stratify ADT patients by clinical outcome. In Chapter IV, we investigate our top candidate NEPC lncRNA H19. We identify the active isoform, determine it is conserved, a dozen associated PCa risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) nearby, and NEPC-related TFBS (MYC/MAX) embedded within. H19 was highly sensitive and relatively specific for NEPC. Functionally, we identified associations to invasion, proliferation, the NEPC phenotype, and physical interactions with EZH2. Most importantly H19 is predictive for ADT-patient outcome. Collectively, this thesis constitutes a step forward in understanding the complexity of the transcriptome for NEPC and the NEtD process. The results here will advance our knowledge of clinically relevant lncRNAs involved in cancer progression and treatment resistance.
Spherical Collapse in f(R) Gravity

description: We use 1-dimensional numerical simulations to study spherical collapse in the f(R) gravity models. We include the nonlinear coupling of the gravitational potential to the scalar field in the theory and use a relaxation scheme to follow the collapse. We find an unusual enhancement in density near the virial radius which may provide observable tests of gravity. We also use the estimated collapse time to calculate the critical overdensity $δ_c$ used in calculating the mass function and bias of halos. We find that analytical approximations previously used in the literature do not capture the complexity of nonlinear spherical collapse.
Universal 2D Soft Nano-Scale Mosaic Structure Theory for Polymers and Colloids
Creators: name: Wu, Jia-lin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A basic concept in chain-particle cluster-motion, from frozen glassy state to melt state, is the 2D soft nano-scale mosaic structure formed by 8 orders of 2D interface excitation (IE) loop-flows, from small to large in inverse cascade and re-arrangement structure in cascade along local one direction. IE has additional repulsive energy and extra vacancy volume. IE results from that the instantaneous synchronal polarized electron charge coupling pair is able to parallel transport on the interface between two neighboring chain-particles with antiparallel delocalization. This structure accords with de Gennes' mosaic structure picture, from which we can directly deduce glass transition temperature, melt temperature, free volume fraction, critical entangled chain length, and activation energy to break solid lattice. This is also the in-herency maximum order-potential structure in random systems.

description: Graph databases offer a flexible storage of interconnected data. Due to NoSQL databases being schema-less, heterogeneous data can occur when performing data changes. Evolution is conducted through so-called evolution operations like add, rename, delete, merge, copy, move or split. As a user cannot foresee the results of the evolution operation, neither the amount of data changes nor the possible schema violations or a relaxed schema, a system to show the impact of evolution is essential. To ensure schema conformity, we present an approach to close the gap of a schema management tool for graph databases in order to estimate and illustrate the impact of evolution on the schema level. To illustrate, explore, evolve and change the schema, all required information is handled through a schema management layer in the Nautilus program. Besides extracting the schema, so-called structure profiles are designed for an initial data exploration. The preview of the schema and structure profiles shows the impact of evolution on the data by comparing versions. Moreover, the system uses an intuitive syntax to also enable the usage of graph databases for non-experts.
Assessments of Climate Change Impact on Water balance (Case study on Lake Hawassa, Ethiopia)

description: Nowadays  the  climate  change  and  its  impact  are  being  witnessed  on  different  natural  and
manmade systems, in one or other ways. One of this impact concerns to understand hydrological
components and subsequent changes in water balances. The aim of this study was to understand
the climate change impacts on water balances of Lake Hawassa located in central main Ethiopian
Rift  Valley,  using  the  Regional  Climate  Model  (RCM).  A  hydrological  model,  HBV-96  was
utilized to simulate surface inflow.
The  A1B  scenario  of  Regional  Climate  Model  organized  by  IWMI  is  used  for  future  climate
scenario  condition.    Linear  scaling  approach  is  applied  in  order  to  bias  correction  of
precipitation,  maximum and minimum temperature. The performance of the  hydrological  model
was assessed through calibration and validation process  and resulted R
2
=0.72 during calibration
and  R
2
=0.66  during  validation,  which  is  good  representation  of  the  catchment.   The  projected
future climate variable has two future time horizons2030s (2031-2040) and 2090s (2091-2100),
for  both  future  time  horizon  shows  an  increasing  pattern  for  both  maximum  and  minimum
temperature. However, precipitation doesn‟t  mainfest a systematic increase or decreasing pattern
in  the  next  century.  Over  lake  mean  monthly  precipitation  will  increase  in  the  months  of
November and August  by15.09 % in 2030s and 28.0% in 2090s and will decrease  in the months
of January and February  by 34% in 2030sand 41% in 2090s respectively. Over lake- evaporation
shows increasing pattern for all future time horizons.  Seasonal mean inflow may shows increase
up to 10.8% and 13.7% in kirement (JJAS) for 2030s and 2090s time period respectively.

description: A canonical signature of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is the presence of a neutral Higgs boson with mass bounded from above by about 135 GeV and Standard Model (SM)-like couplings to the electroweak gauge bosons. In this note we investigate the reach of the Tevatron collider for the MSSM Higgs sector parameter space associated with a variety of high-scale minimal models of supersymmetry (SUSY)-breaking, including the Constrained MSSM (CMSSM), minimal Gauge Mediated SUSY-breaking (mGMSB), and minimal Anomaly Mediated SUSY-breaking (mAMSB). We find that the Tevatron can provide strong constraints on these models via Higgs boson searches. Considering a simple projection for the efficiency improvements in the Tevatron analyses, we find that with an integrated luminosity of 16 fb^-1 per detector and an efficiency improvement of 20% compared to the present situation, these models could be probed essentially over their entire ranges of validity. With 40% analysis improvements and 16 fb^-1, our projection shows that evidence at the 3-sigma level for the light Higgs boson could be expected in extended regions of parameter space.

The effectiveness and sustainability of donor assisted rural water supply  projects: A case study of Awi zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Creators: name: BISHAW ANAGAW
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Sustainability  of  water  supplies  is  a  key  challenge,  both  in  water  resources  and  service
delivery.  The  main  objective  of  this  research  work  was  evaluating  current  service  level,
identifying factors of poor effectiveness and sustainability and pointed out remedial solutions
of  donor  assisted  rural  water  supply  projects  in  Awi  zone,  Amhara,  Ethiopia.  The  study
mainly focused on the physical and technical concern of the schemes. Three sample woredas:
Ankesha and Guagussa Woredas financially assisted by Community managed project (CMP),
and Banja Woreda supported by World Bank  (WB)  were selected by purposive sampling. A
survey was carried out with 80  households in 25 water points (hand dug wells and developed
springs) constructed by donors  in 2012.  The water points were selected randomly and data
gathered by questionnaires, interviews, site investigations. The collected data was scored and
analyzed  using project approach and  performance frameworks  within numXL 1.6 software.
Then  the  scored  data  standardized  through  PCA  was  converted  to  effectiveness  and
sustainability index using multiple linear regression equation for each samples. Sample points
were ranked according to the index and  spatially mapped  with Arc GIS 10.1  using  kriging
interpolation  method.  Factors  such  as  demand  driven  approach,  community  participation,
training, technology  were factors before and during implementation. Cost recovery condition
and  donors  support  for  operation,  maintenance  and  management  were  also  post  project
factors of effectiveness  and sustainability problems. 56% samples resulted as  effective  and
sustainable projects but  not enough. 20%  of the  sample water points categorized as poorly
effective  (nonfunctional)  and  not  sustainable  because  of  poor  project  approach  and
performance.  This  non-functionality  rate  was  less  than  the  Amhara  Region  for  non
functionality  rate  (24%).  From  the  result  24%  of  sample  projects  fall  under  effective  and
sustainable schemes with little improvements. CMP projects have greater E&S index results
than World Bank projects that implies CMP schemes are more successful than World Bank
projects. Further improvements on the factors could result effective and sustainable projects.

description: Worldwide, rural populations are far less likely to have access to clean drinking water
than are urban ones. In many developing countries like Ethiopia, the current approach
to rural water supply used of supply-driven, instead of demand. The main objective of
this study is to identify main factors that contributed to problems of effectiveness and
sustainability  of  donor  assisted rural  water  supply  projects  in  Awi  zone  Amhara
region. The study was carriedout in two sample woredas; Ankesha and Banja woredas
of the study area. 17sample rural water supply .projects were taken for the study. The
three types of water supply technologies studied in the thesis were hand dug wells,
developed  springs,  and  shallow  wells. The  field  investigation  on  site, interview,
questionnaire  and  discussion  with officials, water  committees  and  beneficiaries
weremethods of primary data collection. The data from questionnaire was analyzed by
SPSS  20.  From  detail  field  investigation  technical  existing  situations,  problems,
remedial solutions were examined. Among the numerous factors that contributed to
the  poor  performance  of  the  schemes,  the  two  key  reasons  are  technical  and
management  (social)  factors.  Poor  facilities  design,  poor  construction,  and  lack  of
provision  for  system  management,  operation  and  maintenance,  limited  policy
implementation, lack of capacity to keep the system running after project completion,
poor  cooperation  between  the  water  agent  and  users,  lack of  involvement  of  the
community  in  the  planning  and  construction  process  had  also  compounded  the
problems. The recommendation focuses on need for proper construction quality, and
routine  O&M program,  importance  of  cooperation  between  water  resource,  donors,
water committees and beneficiaries. Community involvement in maintenance ensures
project sustainability.

description: We study the fixed-point structure of four-fermion interactions in two-flavor QCD with Nc colors close to the finite-temperature phase boundary. In particular, we analyze how the fixed-point structure of four-fermion interactions is related to the confining dynamics in the gauge sector. We show that there exists indeed a mechanism which dynamically locks the chiral phase transition to the deconfinement phase transition. This mechanism allows us to determine a window for the values of physical observables in which the two phase transitions lie close to each other.

description: The study assessed the shocks from insecurity and farmers‟ resilience in the Niger Delta, Nigeria. The region has recorded several security challenges and unrest which adversely affected the economy of the country having a high unemployment rate of 24%. This particularly has affected farmers resulting to a decreased agricultural productivity. The insecurity issues identified in the study area include: environmental degradation, climate change, poverty, conflicts and crime. Meanwhile, the form of crisis and conflicts include; conflicts between communities and companies over host community status, oil spill compensation, electoral and political violence, violent chieftaincy title struggles, struggles over oil bunkering territories, cult fraternity groups (Icelanders, bush boys, Greenlanders), Insurgent groups (MEND), organised crime and violent accumulation (kidnapping as business, piracy and the most recent is the Niger Delta Avenger group among others. The shocks experienced by the people as a result of security challenges were; high prices of food and other consumables leading to high cost of living in the area, low farm productivity, feeling of weakness, strange, stress, anger, frustration, youth restiveness and so on. With ever increasing poverty rates in the south-south in 2012-2013 periods as 27.70% and 24.40% respectively. Thus, improved agricultural inputs and technology, social protection and the provision of human security are some of the resilient strategies identified. Hence, it was recommended that the government should take adequate measures by providing adequate security for the people especially farmers, also give supports in form of subsidy on farm inputs and financial grants to farmers to increase food production.
FEASIBILITY STUDY OF MICRO HYDRO–ELECTRIC POWER  GENERATION AT NDABA RIVER: A RWANDA RURAL  ELECTRIFICATION CASE STUDY.

description: Micro-hydropower projects have proved to be an  economical and efficient alternative in the effort to
power remote villages  in the rural areas. The  objective of this research was to assess and conduct a
feasibility  study  on  the  Ndaba  River  as  an  initiative for  harnessing  power  from  micro -hydropower
scheme.  Its  scope  included  various  components  design,  the  energy  production  evaluation  and
economic analysis and finally environment effects assessment. After collecting data from field surveys
and in different literatures, the hydrologic analysis using  HEC-HMS model has been done to estimate
the flow rate and the available head was measured using a total station and GPS receiver. Feasibility
analysis incorporating economic analysis to assess the viability of the project using RETSceen module
and a basic environment impact assessment has  been done.  The  results  of the work  indicate that the
proposed site has a gross head of 133m  and a designed flow of 0.54m
3
/s  at 95% time of exccedence.
Some  preliminary  designs of  main hydropower  plant  components  were done.  A Pelton turbine was
selected as the preferred turbine.  The estimated maximum power capacity  of the plant produced was
1.028MW  during  the  rainy  season  and  the  minimum  production  capacity  of  the  plant  is  0.498MW
during  the  dry  season.  Annual  energy  production  estimated  from  the  module  was  4290MWh  while
power capacity was 536KW and the anticipated revenue to be generated was $85,949. The initial cost
of the project estimated by RETScreen  was $1,000,901. The simple payback of the project was found
to  be  6.3  years.  The  Positive  Net  Values  (NPV)  for  Ndaba  MHP  was  greater  than  one  and  is  an
indication of a potentially feasible project. The potential negative impacts posed by the facility will be
mitigated.  The  development of proposed Ndaba MHP project is financially and technically feasible,
and an infrastructure for socio-economic improvements is expected.
Assessment of Groundwater Potential: A Case Study of Lower Gidabo  Catchment, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Genet Mathewos Messene
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Groundwater  is  occurring  in  different  geologic  formations,  hydrogeological  settings  and
topographic  features.  Those  factors  mostly  control  the  distribution  and  development  of
groundwater.  The  groundwater  resource  assessment  of  an  area  requires  a  carful  approach  of
ground investigation. Exploring hydro lithological units of the catchment is necessary by using
flow  mechanism,  hydrology,  aquifer  characteristics  and  land  use  land  cover  of  the  catchment.
Topographically  Lower  Gidabo  catchment  is  undulating  and  ranges  from  hills  of  mountains
ranging  from  1170  of  low  flat  lands  near  Lake  Abaya  to  3200  m  a.m.s.l.  In  this  study,
groundwater potential  of the  catchment  was  assessed  from the view point of groundwater flow
direction, aquifer characterization and recharge-discharge zone identification.  This study targets
to  contribute  detailed  aspect  of  the  hydrogeological  feature  of  the  catchment.  Appropriate
software‟s like Surfer 8  for generating contour maps, Arc GIS for geo referencing and mapping
of the catchment and Aquifer test to identify the aquifer parameters of the catchment were used.
The  groundwater  flow  direction  of  the  catchment  was  identified  by  using  ground  water  level
maps. The aquifer characteristics of the catchment were evaluated using surface geologic map,
pump test data and well logs data of the boreholes. According to the groundwater flow lines and
the  contour  maps  supposed  in  the  catchment,  the  groundwater  flows  from  eastern  parts  of  the
highlands of the catchment towards the plain areas of the western parts of the catchment. The
groundwater  flow  direction  is  commonly  controlled  by  rainfall  and  topographic  features.  The
hydraulic  characteristics  are  variable  throughout  the  catchment.  The  transsmissivity  and
storativity have ranged from 1*10
-3
to 1.05*10
-1
m
2
/min and 4.11*10
-3
to 8.29*10
-5
, respectively.
Likewise,  hydraulic  conductivity  of  an  aquifer  ranged  from  3.5*10
-4
to  2.91*10
-3
m/day.  The
major  aquifer  units  of  the  area  are  weathered  and  fractured  basalts.  These  types  of  aquifer
formation are recognized to be good groundwater formations.  According to the result perceived,
the  major  recharge  of  groundwater  occurs  in  the  Easter  and  Northeastern  highlands  of  the
catchment,  which  is  said  to  be  recharging zone. However, the  area situated in the western and
northwestern parts of the catchment is discharge zones.

description: Background: Zipf's law and Heaps' law are two representatives of the scaling concepts, which play a significant role in the study of complexity science. The coexistence of the Zipf's law and the Heaps' law motivates different understandings on the dependence between these two scalings, which is still hardly been clarified. Methodology/Principal Findings: In this article, we observe an evolution process of the scalings: the Zipf's law and the Heaps' law are naturally shaped to coexist at the initial time, while the crossover comes with the emergence of their inconsistency at the larger time before reaching a stable state, where the Heaps' law still exists with the disappearance of strict Zipf's law. Such findings are illustrated with a scenario of large-scale spatial epidemic spreading, and the empirical results of pandemic disease support a universal analysis of the relation between the two laws regardless of the biological details of disease. Employing the United States(U.S.) domestic air transportation and demographic data to construct a metapopulation model for simulating the pandemic spread at the U.S. country level, we uncover that the broad heterogeneity of the infrastructure plays a key role in the evolution of scaling emergence. Conclusions/Significance: The analyses of large-scale spatial epidemic spreading help understand the temporal evolution of scalings, indicating the coexistence of the Zipf's law and the Heaps' law depends on the collective dynamics of epidemic processes, and the heterogeneity of epidemic spread indicates the significance of performing targeted containment strategies at the early time of a pandemic disease.

HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSE TO LAND USE LAND COVER DYNAMICS AND SUB  WATERSHED PRIORITIZATION FOR LAND AND WATER MANAGEMENT (Case study of Tekeze dam watershed, Northern Ethiopia)
Creators: name: KIDANE WELDE REDA
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Land use change is a very important issue considering global dynamics and their response on
hydrologic  characteristics  and  soil  and  water  management  of  an  area.  Significant  land  use
changes have observed in Tekeze dam watershed using 1986 and 2008 LULCs as a reference
time. The main objective of this study was to estimate the potential impacts the LULC dynamics
on  hydrological  response  and  prioritization  of  sub-watersheds  according  their  sediment
potential.  This  was  done  by  integrating  SWAT  model  with  GIS. The  simulation  and  sensitivity
analysis  for  each  land  use  was  done  by  dividing  the  watershed  in  to  47  sub-watersheds  and
assigning  HRUs  based  on  multiple  HRU  definition.  Both  automated  and  manual  calibrations
were done using time series data 1978-1982 for 1986 LULC and 1996-2002 for 2008 LULC. The
model was validated using an independent time series data of 1983-1985 for 1986 LULC and
2003-2006  for  2008  LULC.  After  performance  of  the  model  was  evaluated  and  become  in  its
recommended  limit  using  statistical  performance  indicators,  impact  of  LULC  dynamics  on
stream flow and sediment yield was evaluated using three scenarios (climate of 2000s &  2008
LULC, climate of 2000s & 1986 LULC and climate of 1980s & 1986 LULC) and sub watersheds
were prioritized using the first scenario. Significant change in response of the catchment stream
flow  and  sediment  yield  was  obtained  due  to  LULC  dynamics.  Accordingly,  the  mean  annual
stream  flow  increased  by  6.02%  (129.20  to  137.74  m
3
/s)  and  the  impact  on  sediment  yield
amounts to an increase of 17.39% (12.54 to 15.18 ton/ha/yr). The first 13 sub-watersheds, whose
annual sediment yield limit ranges above the tolerable limit (18 ton/ha/year), were prioritized
according their sediment for watershed management efforts.  The maximum sediment outflow of
these  13  sub  watersheds  ranges  from18.49  to  32.57  ton/ha/year  and  are  characterized
dominantly  by  cultivated  land,  shrub  land,  bare  land  &  grass  land  with  average  land  slope
ranging  from  7.9  to15.2%  and  with  dominant  soil  type  of  Eutric  cambisols.  Therefore  these
results  can  help  to  formulate  and  implement  effective,  appropriate  and  sustainable  watershed
management which in turn can help in sustaining the reservoir storage capacity of the dam.
