Neonatal lung group 2 innate lymphoid cells and their role in mediating type 2 immunity and allergen sensitization
Creators: name: Steer, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Airway allergic diseases predominantly originate from early life exposure to allergens, but the mechanism behind this is unclear. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are critical for innate and adaptive immune responses to airway allergens in adult mice. Therefore, I hypothesized that ILC2s play an essential role in neonatal lung immunity. ILC2s quickly seed the mouse lung after birth and begin proliferating and producing IL-13 and IL-5 around postnatal day 10-14, inducing eosinophilia. Neonatal pups deficient for IL-33, an epithelial-derived alarmin that activates ILC2s, have fewer lung ILC2s and eosinophils at day 10 than wildtype (WT) pups. The amount of IL-33 in WT pups is high at day 10 and decreases after day 15, correlating with a contraction of ILC2s into adulthood. Thus, spontaneous release of IL-33 into neonatal lungs provokes activation of ILC2s and eosinophilia. Neonatal ILC2s are more responsive to intranasal (I.N) protease allergen papain than adult ILC2s and respond more intensely upon a secondary challenge in adulthood. Furthermore, ILC2s drive neonatal Th2-biased cell differentiation. I.N OVA antigen treatments into day 10 ILC2-deficient pups transplanted with OT-II adult CD4⁺ T cells results in fewer IL-4⁺IL-13⁺ CD4⁺ OT-II T cells in the lung-draining lymph node than in WT pups. Therefore, ILC2s play a role in neonatal sensitization to allergens leading to persistent allergic disease. The majority of neonatal ILC2s incorporate BrdU, and the BrdU-labeled neonatal ILC2s persist into adulthood, comprising almost 30% of adult lung ILC2s. To determine the effect of neonatal IL-33 exposure on ILC2 function, I.N IL-33 was given to IL-33-deficient (KO) and wildtype (WT) adult mice. While there was no difference in the number of lung ILC2s, there were fewer IL-5⁺IL-13⁺ ILC2s in IL-33KO than IL-33WT mice. I.N IL-33 into IL-33KO pups rescued the impaired response in adulthood. Microarray analysis showed cell-intrinsic differences between IL-33KO and IL-33WT ILC2s. Overall, weak activation by endogenous IL-33 of neonatal lung ILC2s may “train” ILC2s to respond strongly to allergen exposure later in life. These results place ILC2s as crucial components of neonatal lung immunity and should be taken into consideration when developing therapeutics for the prevention of allergic disease development.
Pitfall of FFP parallax parameter accuracy between Euclid and Roman

Subjects: Microlensing, Parallax, Data analysis

description: We presented the expectation of the free-floating planet microlensing observations in parallax between Euclid and Roman (Ban 2020), and here we have extended results for the accuracy of the FFP parameter estimation. The Einstein parallax is a parameter to be derived from the differential light curve parameterised in the unit of time and amplification. We found a pitfall in the accuracy of the Einstein parallax in two different aspects. First, the Einstein parallax is likely overestimated if the event peaks at 5-10 days from/to the edge of the co-operation seasons. This overestimation can be reduced by shortening cadence. Second, ~0.5 Earth-mass FFP events seem less detectable than massive/less-massive FFPs than it. This mass issue, however, requires further analysis of the FFP population.

description: An analytical theory of the nonlinear electromagnetic response of a two-dimensional (2D) electron system in the second order in the electric field amplitude is developed. The second-order polarizability and the intensity of the second harmonic signal are calculated within the self-consistent-field approach both for semiconductor 2D electron systems and for graphene. The second harmonic generation in graphene is shown to be about two orders of magnitude stronger than in GaAs quantum wells at typical experimental parameters. Under the conditions of the 2D plasmon resonance the second harmonic radiation intensity is further increased by several orders of magnitude.

description: We show that the Hankel transform of a general monotone function converges uniformly if and only if the limit function is bounded. To this end, we rely on an Abel-Olivier test for real-valued functions. Analogous results for cosine series are derived as well. We also show that our statements do not hold without the general monotonicity assumption in the case of cosine integrals and series.
CONDITION ASSESMENT AND MODELING OF GROUND  WATER  IN  ARBAMINCH AREA  '-.'  I
Creators: name: SAMUEL DAGALO

description: When  the  issue  of  water  supply  and  demand  for  a  certain  purpose  is  raised,  the
case  of  the  availability  of  source  of  water  and  assessment  of  its  conditions  are
inseparable considerations.
Assessment  of  conditions  of  Groundwater  in  an  area  may  include  the  water
withdrawal  rate,  its  utilization  and management,  the  type  of  formations from which  it
is  coming,  the  hydro  geological  properties,  quality  conditions  of  Groundwater,
presence of  influx (recharge) and more others.
The  water  supply  and  demand  condition  of  Arba  Minch  University  has  been  dealt
with.  The  presence  of  high  losses  (60-95%  of  the  pumped water)  in  the  distribution
system  has been detected.
The  type  of  aquifers  from which  this  supply  is withdrawn  has  been  determined. The
area  is  highly  heterogeneous  and  anisotropic  with  the  transmissivity  of  aquifer
2 varying  between  2 to  532.3m2
per day. The Groundwater flow direction  in  the area  is
towards  the  Lake  (Abaya) determined with  the aid of water  level  contour interpolated
in  the Arc view GIS.
A natural  scene  of  higher values  of  Groundwater  constituents  and  parameters  has
been  observed  near  Lake Abaya with  the  general  trend  of  decreasing  upstream  to
the  GW  flow  direction.  The  higher figures  of  Potassium  and  total  dissolved  salts  in An  approximate  soil-water  balance  approach  to  determine  Groundwater  recharge
from  rainfall  after  the  necessary  accounting  of  run-off,  evapotranspiration  and  soil
moisture  storage  requirements  indicated  very  little/  no  recharge  from  rainfall  in  the
area.
A  simplified,  homogeneous  and  anisotropic  steady  state  Groundwater  flow  model
with  a  single  confined  aquifer  having  the  varying  transmissivity  of  the  actual  multi­
layer aquifer system  has been developed. The  available MODFLOW software  called
Processing MODDLOW for Windows  (PMWIN) has been  adopted for model  run. Calibrations with  few  point data  of water  levels  from  field measurements at  available
and  selected  control  points  has  been  done  by  varying  and  computing  parameters
and  conditions  at  a  time.  Of  all  the  parameters  Groundwater  level  (head)  is  very
sensitive to  variations of transmissivity and aerial  recharge values.
Prediction of the model  run was  considered for the sustainability of the existing wells
and well  No-7  (AMU-7) for  the  current and  future  population with  reference  to  some
head values which  could  be  attained  in  the wells due to  excessive  pumping  in  these
wells. With  the  preset  head  values  in  the  wells  (considered  'undesirable  head"  for
each  well)  scenarios  have  been  developed  for  varying  combinations  of  discharge.
Well  No-7  has  been  proved  to  be  a  good  potential  well  for  current  and  future
population.

description: In the quantum Hall effect regime, taking place in a two-dimensional-electron gas under strong magnetic field, currents flow along the edges of the sample. For some particle-hole conjugate states of the fractional regime, e.g., with filling between 1/2 and 1 of the lowest Landau level; early predictions suggested the presence of counter-propagating edge currents in addition to the expected ones. When this did not agree with the measured conductance, it was suggested that disorder and interactions will lead to counterpropagating modes that carry only energy - the so called neutral modes. In addition, a neutral upstream mode (Majorana mode) was also expected for selected wavefunctions proposed for the even denominator filling 5/2. Here we report on the direct observation of counter-propagating neutral modes in fillings 2/3, 3/5 and 5/2. This was done by injecting such modes and allowing them to impinge on a narrow constriction, which partly reflected them, with two main observed effects: (a) A resultant shot noise proportional to the applied voltage on the injecting contact; (b) With simultaneously injecting also a charge mode, the presence of the neutral mode was found to significantly affect the Fano factor and the temperature of the backscattered charge mode. In particular, such observation for filling 5/2, may single out the non-abelian wavefunctions for the state.

description: The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded Tableau ST project involved two years of collaborative fieldwork with 19 francophone teachers and resulted in a repertoire of 53 effective science lessons and projects. To disseminate these resources, we designed an innovative, free-access website (http://www.tableaust.ca) that provides ready-to-use lessons to elementary francophone teachers seeking to improve their teaching. For teachers, the website offers valuable and empowering tools to educate the science-literate citizens of the future. For scholars, the project, inspired by the Heart-Hands-Head model, sheds new light on the definition of what constitutes effective science-teaching practices. The collaboration with the teachers has also led to identifying three new criteria for effective practices. Résumé Le projet Tableau ST, relié au site http://www.tableaust.ca, est né d’une recherche participative qui a réuni chercheures et enseignants francophones pendant 2 ans, dans le but de disséminer plus d’une cinquantaine de pratiques gagnantes en sciences à l’élémentaire. Plusieurs critères contribuent à identifier les pratiques efficaces et parmi eux, l’apprentissage actif, le questionnement et le partage et la confrontation des preuves témoignent de la réflexivité des enseignants sur leurs pratiques en classe. Les critères gagnants agencés selon le modèle conceptuel Cœur-Mains-Tête pourront éventuellement servir à guider la pratique enseignante, mais aussi la formation des enseignants en didactique des sciences.

ASSESSMENT OF WATER LOSSES TO RIVER BARO. IN  THE BARO BASIN BETWEEN  GAMBELLA AND THE OUTLET TO SUDAN
Creators: name: KHOR GUANG LOA
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2006

description: The major  objective  of this  thesis work  is  to  assess  the water  loss  situation  in  the Baro
basin  between  Gambella  and  the  outlet  to  Sudan.  The whole  basin  between  Gambella
and  Burebiey  (the  final  outlet  to  Sudan) was  first  considered  as  one  reach.  The  thesis
has  identified  that  there  are  significant water  losses  that  occur  in  this  basin.  Tl_ie water
balance of  the monthly mean flows  indicate thatthere  is  an average annual water loss of
about  3366 million  cubic meters,  and  the  time  series  shows  that  overbank  spills  occur
when  the  monthly  flows  at  Gambella  exceed  about  1 . 5  billion  cubic  meters  and  the
outflows through  bifurcating channels  start when  flows  at  Gambella  surpass  one billion
cubic  meters.  In  order  to  exactly  know where  the  maximum  amount  of losses  occurs,
the  reach  between  Gambella  and  Burebiey  was  divided  into  three  subreaches.  After
extending  the  records  at  all  stations  (  1929-2004),  the  total  mean  annual  water  loss
observed  is  about  3852 million  cubic meters.  In  the  first  two  subreaches  minor  losses
are observed,  and  the major  losses which account  about 60 % occur  in the  last  subreach,
.  between  Jekow  and  Burebiey.  About  92 %  of these  losses  are  due  to  outflow  through offtaking  channels  and  overbank  spills.  The  paper  also  considered  the  potential
evapotranspiration  loss  in  the  whole  basin  between  Gambella  and  Burebiey.  These
losses  were  compared  with  the  total  water  losses/spills,  and  it  found  that  the  former
losses  exceeded  the  latter  ones.  It  is  concluded  that  if  the  flows  at  Gambella  are
maintained .at  a maximum of  1 . 5 billion cubic meters  a month  there would  be no  much
inundation  in  this  basin  and,  hence,  people  could  get  permanent  settlement,  and  their
properties could be secure from  damage and wastage.
A Policy Discourse Analysis of Academic Probation
Creators: name: Barouch-Gilbert, Abraham
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2019

description: In this policy discourse analysis study, I explored the discourse of academic-probation policies for undergraduate students in Dominican higher education institutions. Policies from twelve universities described strategies of power throughout. Academic-probation policies were characterized by their brevity and focus on disciplinary actions for students who did not meet the established academic standards. Key implications are related to issues of student marginalization in higher education institutions. Future policy revisions should address the punitive measures and the implications of being classified below “normal” and should refocus on institutional retention as a policy. Keywords: Academic Probation, Higher Education, Policy Dans cette étude portant sur l’analyse du discours en matière de politiques, je me penche sur le discours des politiques portant sur la probation académique des étudiants du premier cycle dans certains établissements d’études supérieures en République dominicaine. On retrouve, tout au long du texte des politiques des douze universités étudiées, des descriptions de stratégies de pouvoir. Les politiques portant sur la probation académique se caractérisaient par leur brièveté et leur accent sur les actions disciplinaires visant les étudiants qui n’atteignaient pas les normes académiques établies. Les implications principales touchent la marginalisation des étudiants inscrits dans des établissements d’études supérieures. À l’avenir, les révisions des politiques devraient aborder les mesures punitives et les implications d’être classés sous la norme pour se recentrer sur la rétention institutionnelle.

description: We investigate the entanglement and nonlocality properties of one- and two-mode combination squeezed vacuum state (OTCSS, with two-parameter lamda and gamma) by analyzing the logarithmic negativity and the Bell's inequality. It is found that this state exhibits larger entanglement than that of the usual two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TSVS), and that in a certain regime of lamda, the violation of Bell's inequality becomes more obvious, which indicates that the nonlocality of OTCSS can be stronger than that of TSVS. As an application of OTCSS, the quantum teleportaion is examined, which shows that there is a region spanned by lamda and gamma in which the fidelity of OTCSS channel is larger than that of TSVS.

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: We consider a new way of establishing Navier wall laws. Considering a bounded domain $Ω$ of R N , N=2,3, surrounded by a thin layer $Σε$, along a part $Γ$2 of its boundary $\partial Ω$, we consider a Navier-Stokes flow in $Ω\cup \partial Ω\cup Σε$ with Reynolds' number of order 1/$ε$ in $Σε$. Using $Γ$-convergence arguments, we describe the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of this problem and get a general Navier law involving a matrix of Borel measures having the same support contained in the interface $Γ$2. We then consider two special cases where we characterize this matrix of measures. As a further application, we consider an optimal control problem within this context.

description: This study aimed to examine the predictive role of critical thinking on university students’ self-esteem. The participants of the study included 433 undergraduate students in a variety of programs. Of the 433 students, 294 were female while 139 male, and the mean age was 20.2 years. Data collection tools included the California Critical Thinking Scale and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory. The relationship between the critical thinking and self-esteem of university students were determined using correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The findings of the correlation analysis showed that analyticity, open-mindedness, inquisitiveness, self-confidence, truth-seeking, and systematicity were significantly correlated with self-esteem. In addition, a regression analysis showed that self-esteem was predicted by open-mindedness, inquisitiveness, and self-confidence.

Parmi les outils de collecte de données, notons le California Critical Thinking Scale et le Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory. Le rapport entre la pensée critique et l’estime de soi des étudiants à l’université a été établi par une analyse de corrélation et une analyse de régression multiple. Les résultats de l’analyse de corrélation indiquent que l’analyticité, l’ouverture d’esprit, la curiosité, la confiance en soi, la recherche de la vérité et la systématicité présentent une corrélation significative avec l’estime de soi. De plus, une analyse de régression a indiqué que l’ouverture d’esprit, la curiosité et la confiance en soi étaient des facteurs prédictifs de l’estime de soi.

description: Ethiopia is one of the most susceptible countries to the impact of climate change due to
dependency on rain-fed agriculture. This study focuses on the  evaluating  of  climate
change impact on  surface water resources  for estimating  crop  water demand  in  Birr
watershed,  Abay  Basin,  Ethiopia.  CORDEX-Africa  data  output  of  Hadley  Global
Environment Model 2- Earth System (HadGEM2-ES) for Birr catchment was selected
under representative concentration pathways (RCP2.6, RCP 4.5  and RCP 8.5)  scenarios
for making  future climate  projections.  Initially, data quality checked and consistency
for observed data was performed. In addition, the percent bias (PBIAS), coefficient of
variation  (CV),  and  absolute  mean  square  error  (AME)  was  used  to  evaluate  the
systematic error of rainfall and the relationship of observed and future model output.
The assessment of trends in climate variables was carried out using Mann-Kendall’s
tests  and  Sen’s  slope  estimators.  The  result  of  Mann-Kendall’s  test  indicated  that,
observed annual rainfall shows decreasing trend while the average temperature shows
an increasing trend. Also, it was found that in the future all RCPs except RCP4.5 at
Debecha station show decreasing trend, but, the average temperature will be expected
to increase in both time periods.  The result of CROPWAT show that crop water and
irrigation water requirement for Maize will expect to increase throughout the growing
periods  especially,  crop  water  demand  for  maize  will  strongly  increase  during
development  stage.  Further,  HBV  model  was  calibrated  (R
2
=0.79)  and  validated
(R
2
=0.76) which is a good representation of the catchment. The result of the projected
steramflow indicates that, in the future the minimum flow under RCP8.5 and RCP4.5
scenarios  statically  decrease  and  a  significant  down-ward  change-point  might  be
occurred in the years of 2055 and 2035, respectively.  Similarly, for 1-day and 7-day
maximum  flow  under  RCP8.5  and  90-day  flow  under  RCP4.5  will  be  expected  to
decrease  significantly  and a significant change-point will occur  at  2060s and 2030s,
respectively. Conversely, under RCP2.6, the minimum as well as maximum flow will
decrease insignificantly and a significant change-point might not be occurring in the
coming six decades.

description: To stay alive in earth surface, land and water are indispensible. To enhance the agricultural
productivity  and  socioeconomic  development  in  agricultural  catchment,  irrigation
development is an important issue. The initiation of  this study was to evaluate stream flow
under  land  use  land  cover  change  and  assessment  of  suitable  land  resources  for  surface
irrigation.  Surface  water  availability  was  assessed  in  sub-watersheds  of  river  catchments
using SWAT model after calibration and validation; flows in the catchment are able to satisfy
gross  irrigation  water  requirements  of  one  variate  crops  in  each  catchment  to  the  irrigable
areas  but  to  satisfy  irrigation  demand  to  the  whole  crop,  with  the  help  of  semi-detailed  to
detailed  design  document  analysis  construct  water  harvesting  structures.  In  Chemoga
catchment  various  factors  effects  resource  bases  like  expansion  of  residential  area,
deforestation and increase of agricultural land and  this depict that  change  of land use land
cover in the catchment. The land use land cover classification was performed using ERDAS
imagine 2014 which was used for further analysis of GIS and SWAT. The selected land use
land cover years of 1994 and 2013 were used for evaluation of  land use land cover change
impact on seasonal stream flow and to the major components of stream flow   as well as the
current land use land cover map was used  as a factor  for land suitability evaluation.  Due to
the  land use land cover  change  the catchment hydrology  was affected.  The result depicts that
in wet season  (surface runoff)  the stream flow increase  due to this rugged land surface occur
so hinder  the sustainability  surface irrigation  and in dry season  (lateral flow & ground water
flow)  the stream  flow decreases  so  connate water stress to the  irrigated  crops.  So watershed
management  approach  should  be  done  in  the  catchment.  The  coefficient  of  determination
(R
2
),  nash-sutcliff  efficiency  (ENS),  and  relative  volume  error  (RVE)  were  used  for
evaluating  the model performance.  The land suitability was evaluated using factors such as
slope,  land  use  land  cover,  and  soil  physical  properties  (soil  depth,  soil  texture  and  soil
drainage) and finally overall suitability map of the catchment was produced using weighted
overlay  analysis  tool  on  Arc  GIS.  In  the  weighted  overlay  analysis;  high  weightage  was
given  for  slope,  since  it  is  the  high  determinant  factor  in  the  evaluation  of  the  given  area.
Other  suitability  factors  like  socioeconomic,  environmental  issues,  and  soil  chemical
properties should be studied for sustainable irrigation development in catchment.

description: Orthogonal - unitary and symplectic - unitary crossover ensembles of random matrices are relevant in many contexts, especially in the study of time reversal symmetry breaking in quantum chaotic systems. Using skew-orthogonal polynomials we show that the same generic form of n-level correlation functions are obtained for the Jacobi family of crossover ensembles, including the Laguerre and Gaussian cases. For large matrices we find universal forms of unfolded correlation functions when expressed in terms of a rescaled transition parameter with arbitrary initial level density.

Year: 2019

description: Within the Canadian context, there is limited understanding of the attitudes and perspectives of pre-service teachers’ preparedness to support students with refugee experiences. Using a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach to pedagogy, this study documents the perspectives of 33 pre-service teachers on their preparation to teach students with refugee experiences in one teacher education program in Canada. Results demonstrate that although pre-service teachers recognize the needs of refugee students, they noted that they have few opportunities in their courses or practicums that address how to meet these needs. They identified training in trauma-informed practices, parent communication, and recognizing and understanding students with refugee experiences as gaps in their preparation. Key Words: trauma-informed; pre-service teacher education; teacher education programs; refugee children Dans le contexte canadien, nous connaissons peu sur les attitudes et les perspectives qu’ont les étudiants se destinant à l’enseignement relatives à leur état de préparation pour appuyer les élèves réfugiés. Reposant sur une approche qui tient compte des traumatismes et des réalités culturelles, cette étude fait état des perspectives de 33 étudiants dans un programme de formation des enseignants au Canada quant à leur état de préparation à enseigner à des élèves réfugiés. Les résultats indiquent que si les étudiants se destinant à l’enseignement reconnaissent les besoins des élèves réfugiés, ils constatent que leurs cours et leurs stages leur offrent peu d’occasions d’apprendre comment répondre à ces besoins. Comme lacunes dans leur préparation, les étudiants ont identifié la formation en pratiques tenant compte des traumatismes, la communication avec les parents, ainsi que la reconnaissance et la compréhension de la réalité des réfugiés.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Zuma irrigation scheme was evaluated for the technical and management performances of the
irrigation scheme.  The reason,  performance based  technical and  management evaluation is a
principal  approach  to  improve  the  scheme  performance.  The  study  was  done  during  the
irrigation  season  from  October  to  December,  2016.  The  technical  evaluation  was  made  by
taking some  selected performance indicators such as conveyance efficiency, water delivery
performance and maintenance  indicators.  Moreover, the management performance was  done
by  questionnaires.  Primary  data  collection  included  field  observation,  household  survey,
interview  and  discussion  with  beneficiaries  were  done.  Discharge  measurements  were  also
done in the canals. The results indicated that the main canal conveyance efficiency was found
to be  88.2  and 97.8%.  The  conveyance efficiency of secondary canals  was  74.8 and 84% at
the  lower  and  middle  secondary  canal  sections  respectively.  The  actual  water  delivery
performance  of the main canal  was  92%. This shows,  the  current canal structures are  lower
than the design of the canal capacity. Management performance provided to the beneficiaries
was not the same as to the intended.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCES OF TWO SMALL-SCALE IRRIGATION SCHEMES‟ STRUCTURES: CASE OF TAHTAY TSALIT AND  MYCHEW, KOLA TEMBIEN, NORTH ETHIOPIA .

description: Assessment  of  irrigation  performances  is  very  essential  in  taking  different  water
management  strategies.  However,  the  performance  of  Tahtay  Tsalit  and  Mychew
irrigation  schemes  were  not  assessed  yet  and  hence,  this  research  was  undertaken  to
compare  the  hydraulic  performance  of  the  two  small-scale  irrigation  schemes  mainly
using comparative analysis of hydraulic performance indicators. The existing hydraulic
structures  were  identified  and  evaluated  their  functionality  and  for  malfunctioned
structures the cause and effect of the problem was investigated through field observation
and focus group discussions. On top of this, the hydraulic performance of the irrigation
schemes  were  practically  assessed  using  Parshall  flume  and  90  degree  V-notch
instruments  spatially  and  temporally.  Several  factors  such  as  flooding,  sedimentation,
design  problem,  damage  of  sluice  gates,  abstraction  of  irrigation  water  by  unwanted
plants has been identified in both schemes for malfunctionality of different structures. As
a  result  of  this,  all  flow  control  gates  of  the  offtake  in  T.Tsalit  irrigation  schemes  has
already stolen and no flow control gates was constructed in Mychew and consequently,
farmers  are  using  stone  and  mud  for  controlling  of  water  flow  which  further  adds
siltation to the canals. According to the irrigation performance standards, there was no
any  problem  in  irrigation  adequacy,  equity,  dependability  and  efficiency  of  irrigation
water  in  T.Tsalit  irrigation  schemes.  However  in  Mychew,  the  adequacy  and  equity  of
irrigation  water  was  categorized  as  poor,  while  good  and  fair  for  dependability  and
irrigation efficiency respectively. For both irrigation schemes, the average water surface
elevation ratio, delivery performance ratio, and delivery duration ratio of the main canal
during  the  monitoring  period  was  less  than  one,  greater  than  5%  ,  and  150%
respectively.  The  highest  sediment  accumulation  was  observed  at  head  and  middle
reaches  of  the  irrigation  schemes  than  the  tail  reaches  for  both  irrigation  schemes.
Generally, in both irrigation schemes there were a number of  irrigation  structures which
were malfunctioned due to many different reasons and now needs sustainable solution to
improve  the  performance  of  the  irrigation  schemes.  Hence,  it  was  recommended  that
Water  should  be  fairly  distributed  spatially  and  temporally  particularly  at  Mychew
irrigation  scheme.  Moreover,  capacity  building  and  awareness  creation  to  concerned
bodies  holds  the  key  to  bring  a  difference  in  irrigation  water  management  in  both
irrigation schemes.

description: Functional linear regression analysis aims to model regression relations which include a functional predictor. The analog of the regression parameter vector or matrix in conventional multivariate or multiple-response linear regression models is a regression parameter function in one or two arguments. If, in addition, one has scalar predictors, as is often the case in applications to longitudinal studies, the question arises how to incorporate these into a functional regression model. We study a varying-coefficient approach where the scalar covariates are modeled as additional arguments of the regression parameter function. This extension of the functional linear regression model is analogous to the extension of conventional linear regression models to varying-coefficient models and shares its advantages, such as increased flexibility; however, the details of this extension are more challenging in the functional case. Our methodology combines smoothing methods with regularization by truncation at a finite number of functional principal components. A practical version is developed and is shown to perform better than functional linear regression for longitudinal data. We investigate the asymptotic properties of varying-coefficient functional linear regression and establish consistency properties.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Investigation of potential irrigable land and available water resources  is an essential for
the development of irrigated agriculture.  The  study  is  focused on  investigating  land and
water resources potential of Andassa river catchment and preparing geo-referenced maps
of these  resources  using  GIS. Land  suitability for irrigation  development  was  identified
by  considering  the  irrigation  suitability  factors  such  as  slope,  soil  and  land  use  /land
cover.  The analysis  result of these factors  indicates that 95.17 % of slope, 75.2  % of soil
and 97 % land use/land cover are in the range of highly to marginally suitable for surface
irrigation. The  irrigable land of the area was identified using weighted overlay analysis
of the suitability  parameters. The total irrigable land of watershed is about 76.7% which
is potentially suitable for surface irrigation and 23.3% is classified as nonsuitable (N).
Surface water potential of the study area was estimated through stream flow simulations
by SWAT model. The model was calibrated and validated from observed stream flow data
of the watershed using the periods of 1992-2005 and 2006-2012 respectively leaving  two
years  as  “warm  up’  ’period.  During  calibration  and  validation,  the  results  of  model
performance indicators were in the acceptable range (R
