Development of an Ensemble Modelling Framework to Guide Freshwater Management: A Case Study in the Napanee River and Wilton Creek Watersheds of the Bay of Quinte, Ontario, Canada
Get PDFDespite government pressures to reduce the usage of phosphorus (P) rich products over the past five decades, aquatic ecosystems continue to experience water quality degradation worldwide. Additionally, agriculture intensification emerges as a necessary solution for future food production and sustainable human development, but it simultaneously raises considerable concerns from a water quality standpoint. In this context, four complementary studies have been conducted using a wide range of modelling tools alongside stakeholder engagement to guide the long-term adaptive P management plan in the eutrophic Bay of Quinte, Ontario, Canada. In the first study, a unique modelling ensemble was used to enhance our understanding of catchment water and nutrient flow based on past, present and future trend analysis. The results from this study emphasize nonpoint sources as the primary driver of total P loadings in recent decades, though timing of extreme events may play a critical role in determining future levels of primary productivity in the receiving water body. Using these insights, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was adjusted to develop realistic hydrological cycles for the predominantly agricultural Napanee River and Wilton Creek case study watersheds of the Bay of Quinte. Findings from this second study assisted in capturing the observed streamflow hydrographs and identifying smaller watershed areas with high water-based nutrient delivery potential. Building on the hydrological SWAT models, the third research study offered a risk analysis framework for informing environmental managers on potential target areas to implement erosion and P export mitigation strategies. Using our modelling framework, we discovered high sediment and P export overlap with high percentages of the cropland land cover. This information formed the basis of the final research study in which a best management plan (BMP) was developed and implemented in cropland SWAT fields. Effectiveness of BMPs in reducing the previously identified sediment and P hotspots was then tested. We found the most (31-68%) hotspot export reductions through a stacked BMP approach across the assessed variables on average from the study sites. Together, these studies highlight the role of modelling as an invaluable tool in addressing knowledge gaps and guiding nutrient remediation efforts.Ph.D

Trade, development and globalization
No full text© 2014 S. Javed Maswood. In part two, the author explores the possibility that economic globalization may finally deliver to developing countries what they had failed to achieve in five decades of multilateral negotiations - an opportunity to climb the industrialization ladder and achieve development. The book offers a proposal for revising the format of trade negotiations in a way that helps overcome stalemates and deadlocks.This book provides a longitudinal study of developing country involvement in multilateral trade negotiations.The trade regime established at the end of the Second World War did not cater for, and in some cases excluded, the developmental interests of the newly independent countries. This book offers a detailed analysis of:• The first attempts to revise the trade regime in the 1960s through the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the formation of the Group of 77 to enhance their bargaining potential.• The mixed coalition strategy, with the Cairns Group in the Uruguay Round of GATT.• The new bargaining coalition, the Group of Twenty, that took on a much more confrontational and assertive bargaining position in the unsuccessful Doha round of the World Trade Organization.Trade, Development and Globalization will be of interest to students and scholars of international trade, trade and development, negotiation, global governance, political economy, international relations and economics.https://fount.aucegypt.edu/faculty_books/1050/thumbnail.jp
Supporting Spreadsheet Maintenance with Dependency Notification
No full textSpreadsheets in the industry are used by multiple employees in organizations, and they remain in use for several years. Maintenance of existing spreadsheets is thus common. One of the issues in maintaining spreadsheets is the fact that formulas create cell dependencies, and these dependencies are invisible to users. To address this, dependence tracing techniques have been developed, both commercially and in research. However, these techniques are effort consuming, and are designed as separate activities that force the users to leave the context of editing spreadsheets. As such, these techniques are not suitably supportive for usual spreadsheet maintenance tasks. In this extended abstract, we present our work in progress on a novel approach for notifying users of cell dependencies, integrated into the context of editing spreadsheets. We present a preliminary evaluation of the approach in the form of an exploratory user-study with seven employees of a financial modeling company. Results show that the approach has the potential to support industrial spreadsheet users in the context of spreadsheet maintenance, as indicated by the responses of six out of seven participants.Software EngineeringSoftware Technolog
Assessing health care providers perspectives about advance directives at tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan: a quantitative cross sectional study
No full textBackground: Advance directives (AD) is a living will which gives power of attorney to a surrogate decision-maker, when a person is not competent to make a decision. Its application and understanding among healthcare providers are important but remained underexplored in Pakistan. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of healthcare providers toward advance directives at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 306 healthcare providers, including nurses and physicians, across various specialties. Knowledge and attitudes toward ADs were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Chi-square tests were used to examine associations between participants\u27 characteristics and their knowledge and attitudes. Findings: The majority of participants (73.9%) demonstrated adequate knowledge about ADs, while 79.4% exhibited positive attitudes. Older and more experienced healthcare providers were more likely to have positive attitudes toward ADs. Despite high overall knowledge, there were gaps, particularly in understanding specific types of ADs and their applications. The study found no statistically significant associations between knowledge levels and demographic variables, although age was significantly associated with attitudes. Conclusion: To improve the implementation of advance directives, targeted educational programs and workshops for healthcare providers are essential. Cultural competency training and policy reforms vi should ensure AD discussions become a routine part of patient care. Future studies should include patient perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding, supporting the effective use of ADs in clinical settings
Influence of Engineered Roughness on the Flow Instabilities in a Centrifugal Compressor
No full textCentrifugal compressors form an integral part of automotive turbochargers. Strict emission regulations and increased engine downsizing in the automotive industry are pushing the turbocharger centrifugal compressors to provide the charged air at very lower mass flow rates. However, at low mass flow rates, the operation and application of centrifugal compressors for a given turbocharger is limited by the fluid dynamic instabilities. These flow instabilities cause the compressor to enter the state of stall and/or surge. Stall defines the lower limit of stable operating range for the compression system. The suppression of this flow instability is a key research focus of turbomachinery aerodynamics. In this thesis, an attempt has been made to reduce the compressor instability and subsequently increase the surge margin by the application of engineered roughness on different compressor parts. The analysis has been split into two parts. Firstly, CFD analysis have been carried out on several test cases to validate the reliability of the commercial solver. The comparison of the CFD results with the available reference data shows a reasonable agreement in terms of prediction of laminar to turbulent transition location and influence of wall roughness on transition onset location. Secondly, a detailed CFD analysis of the centrifugal compressor has been made in two phases. In the first phase, the overall compressor performance has been simulated from stall to choke over a specific turbocharger rotational speed. In the second phase, a parametric roughness study has been carried out by considering the effects of predefined wall roughness and localized roughness strips on the unstable flow in the compressor at low mass flow rates. For the wall roughness evaluation, the roughness has been applied on the impeller blades, impeller shroud, diffuser and inlet shroud. On the other hand, for the localized roughness strips, roughness have been defined at specific locations at the main blade suction side and the diffuser shroud. The analysis reveals a reduction in flow instability in the compressor domain. The steady state simulations show a significant improvement in the flow structure of the diffuser in terms of the reduction in flow reversal. Furthermore, an improvement in the impeller is observed by reduction in the low momentum wake region.Process and Energy TechnologyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
Comparative Critical Discourse Analysis of Quranic Translations: A Study of Maulana Maududi and Javed Ghamidi's Interpretation of the Verse 256 of Surah Al-Baqarah
Get PDFThis paper employs comparative discourse analysis to examine Maulana Maududi and Javed Ghamidi's interpretations of a part of the verse in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256) in the Quran. Applying Fairclough's theory as the foundation, comparative CDA sheds light on linguistic variations, discourse structures, and ideological foundations for in depth exploration of the debate. The analysis encompasses textual, discursive, and social dimensions to uncover differences in lexical choices and rhetorical devices used by each author and reveals differing perspectives within the language construction of both translations influenced by historical, cultural, and intellectual factors. Specifically, it contrasts Maududi's assertive political language with Ghamidi's more rational and adaptable writing style. The power structures and ideological influences in society reflect Maududi's emphasis on an Islamic state compared to Ghamidi's contextual, rational Islam. Translations impact societal dynamics by reinforcing specific interpretations, such as Maududi's clarity on doctrine or Ghamidi's promotion of individual autonomy. This research expands our understanding of diverse viewpoints within the Islamic discourse on religious freedom and coercion in the translation of the verse
