Estimation of the global carbon fluxes due to agricultural management activities using a land surface model (ISAM)
No full textAgricultural activities contribute to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate. The worldwide hike in the food demand due to the rapidly growing population over time has intensified agricultural activities, resulting in a significant amount of GHG emissions (e.g., CO2, CH4, and N2O). Previous global studies have focused on non-CO2 emissions (i.e., CH4, N2O) and ignored the CO2 emissions from the agriculture sector. This study uses a land surface model with spatially heterogeneous representations of agricultural land management practices to estimate the carbon dynamics induced by agricultural land management practices (i.e., planting crops, fertilization, irrigation, harvesting, and grazing) and land-use change (i.e., agricultural land expansion). The estimated global net carbon emission from agriculture and its related land-use change is 2.26 Pg C/yr (net source) in ca. 2010. The land management activities released 0.85 Pg C/yr (38%), and the land-use change activities emitted 1.41 Pg C/yr (62%). Cropland and grazing land released about 72% and 28% of the total agriculture emissions. Maize, rice, and wheat are the greatest contributing crops. South America (22%), North America (19%) and, South and Southeast Asia (13%) are the leading emitting regions. By quantifying the carbon emissions induced by different agricultural management practices, this study help in improving the representations of land management practices in the climate models.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-12-01The student, Prateek Sharma, accepted the attached license on 2020-12-08 at 15:40.The student, Prateek Sharma, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2020-12-08 at 15:58.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2020-12-09 at 17:00.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #16090 on 2021-03-04 at 16:33:52Made available in DSpace on 2021-03-05T21:47:35Z (GMT).

Fault Recovery in Time-Synchronized Mission Critical ZigBee-Based Wireless Sensor Networks
No full textA novel technique for ZigBee coordinator failure recovery and its impact on timing synchronization
No full textIn mission critical wireless sensor networks (WSNs) accurate timestamping of the occurrence of events measured by the sensor nodes is often required together with a high degree of reliability. While precise timestamping requires synchronization of the sensor nodes, reliability is obtained by adding redundancy in all potential single point of failure nodes. In this paper, we focus on a ZigBee-based WSN using two personal area network (PAN) coordinators with different PAN identifiers (IDs) and, for this configuration, we propose a solution where if the primary PAN coordinator goes down, connections are transferred to the other by changing the PAN ID of the nodes. Our proposed solution provides significant gains in terms of recovery speed and timing synchronization accuracy in comparison to a solution that is proposed in the literature
Enumeration of Macrophytes in a Polluted Pond of Shahjhanpur U.P. (India)
No full textIn the present study an attempt have been made to enumerate the macrophytes and their distributional pattern (Sharma and Dhakre 1993) in a polluted pond of Shahjahanpur, U.P. India, receiving domestic wastes. Total 21 species of macrophytes belong to 14 families have been reported. It is observed that these macrophytes were very much affected by pollutants.Saltanat Ara Malik and Atul Namdeo. Enumeration of Macrophytes in a Polluted Pond of Shahjhanpur U.P. (India).
