Adaptive space–time sampling with wireless sensor nodes for flood forecasting
No full textThis paper investigates a method for the real-time design and execution of a space–time sampling strategy in the context of flood forecasting. Measurements of water level taken by a network of wireless sensors were assimilated into a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model using an ensemble Kalman filter, to create a forecasting model. This research focused on methods for targeting measurements in real-time to be assimilated by the forecasting model, such that the power-limited but flexible sensor network could be used optimally. Two targeting methods were developed. The first targeted measurements systematically over space and time until the forecasting model predicted that the probability of the water level exceeding a pre-defined threshold was less than 5%. The second method targeted measurements based on the expected decrease in forecasted water level error variance at a validation time and location, quickly calculated for various sets of measurements by an ensemble transform Kalman filter. Targeting measurements based on the decrease in forecast error variance was shown to be more efficient than a systematic sampling method
Evaluating the utility of the ensemble transform Kalman filter for adaptive sampling when updating a hydrodynamic model
No full textThis paper compares two Monte Carlo sequential data assimilation methods based on the Kalman filter, for estimating the effect of measurements on simulations of state error variance made by a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The first method used an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) to update state estimates, which were then used as initial conditions for further simulations. The second method used an ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF) to quickly estimate the effect of measurement error covariance on forecast error covariance without the need to re-run the simulation model. The ETKF gave an unbiased estimate of EnKF analysed error variance, although differences in the treatment of measurement errors meant the results were not identical. Estimates of forecast error variance could also be made, but their accuracy deteriorated as the time from measurements increased due in part to model non-linearity and the decreasing signal variance. The motivation behind the study was to assess the ability of the ETKF to target possible measurements, as part of an adaptive sampling framework, before they are assimilated by an EnKF-based forecasting model on the River Crouch, Essex, UK. The ETKF was found to be a useful tool for quickly estimating the error covariance expected after assimilating measurements into the hydrodynamic model. It, thus, provided a means of quantifying the ‘usefulness’ (in terms of error variance) of possible sampling schemes.<br/

Sertularella simplex Hutton 1873
No full textSertularella simplex (Hutton, 1873) Synonyms in the area:? Sertularella ellisii f. lagenoides —Leloup 1974 p. 28 [polyp]; Sertularella peregrina —Leloup 1974 p. 31–32 [polyp]. Remarks: Galea & Schories (2012a p. 46) considered that “Leloup’s (1974) material assigned to both S. ellisi f. lagenoides and S. peregrina may belong to either this species [Sertularella sp.] or S. mixta, since no measurements allowing a reliable comparison were provided by this author”. Moreover, Sertularella peregrina Bale, 1926 is considered a synonym of Sertularia simplex in WoRMS (Schuchert 2016). Given the uncertainties about these records, we conservatively include them in the synonym of S. simplex, pending more detailed study. Distribution in South America: polyp—Pacific Ocean, Chile, at north of Coquimbo and in Puerto Melinka, Guaitecas Archipelago (Leloup 1974 p. 28, 31–32).

Patula lucetta Hutton, Hawkes 1884

Lectotype (designated here), CMNZ M217.2, and paralectotypes (6), CMNZ M217 (dry shells). Label details. CMNZ M217: ‘88. Patula lucetta Hutton, Hawkes Bay’, pillbox label in Hutton’s handwriting. Type locality. ‘ Hawke’s Bay (W. Colenso)’ (Hutton 1884b: 163). Previous illustrations of type material. Hutton (1884b; pl. 11, fig. A—radula). Remarks. Patula lucetta Hutton, 1884 is a subjective synonym of Helix (Patula) stokesi Smith, 1884, which was described from material collected in Wairarapa, North Island (e.g., Hedley & Suter 1893: 654; Suter, 1894b: 268, 1913: 668; Cumber, 1961: 186; Powell, 1979: 323; Brook &Ablett 2019: 58). Hutton’s and Smith’s descriptions were published in May 1884 (see title page of the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute issue for 1883), and October 1884 (see Duncan 1937: 74), respectively, so Patula lucetta Hutton,1884 has priority, as noted by Powell (1979: 323). The type material of this species was listed as being in Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, by Hutton (1898 – 1900: 9), and reported as missing by Freeman et al. (1997: 36) but has since been found. It comprises a mixed assemblage, containing five specimens of P. lucetta one of which (lectotype) is illustrated for the first time in pl. 3, fig. E, and two of Charopa coma (Gray, 1843). This is consistent with the observation by Murdoch (1899: 323), that Hutton’s original account of P. lucetta described the shell and animal coloration of his new species, and a radula of C. coma. Patula lucetta has been listed in genus Phenacohelix Suter, 1892 (e.g., Suter 1913: 668; Powell 1979: 323; Goulstone 2001: 57; Spencer et al. 2009: 216), in Phenacohelix (Neophenacohelix) Cumber, 1961 by Cumber (1961: 186), and in genus Neophenacohelix Cumber, 1961 by Marshall & Worthy (2017: 305), but preliminary results of a phylogenetic study (M. Kennedy & T. King unpub. data) indicate that it belongs in genus Phacussa Hutton, 1883. Patula lucetta has been recorded from both the North and South islands (e.g., Hedley & Suter 1893: 654; Suter 1894b: 269, 1913: 669; Powell 1979: 323; Goulstone 2001: 59, fig. 12). However, Cumber (1961: 186) noted that there are morphological differences between populations on either side of Cook Strait and referred to the taxon as a species complex. The phylogenetic study referred to above found that COI sequences in populations from the North and South islands differed substantially (M. Kennedy & T. King unpub. data), indicating that they should be treated as separate species.Accordingly, Hutton’s name is used here for North Island populations only (below), and northern South Island populations that were previously referred to as lucetta are treated here as an unnamed sister species of lucetta, with a distribution from Marlborough Sounds to Nelson Lakes (AIM and NMNZ collection records). Records of lucetta from ‘Greymouth (R. Helms)’ by Hedley & Suter (1893: 654), Suter (1894b: 269, 1913: 669) and Cumber (1961: 188) were based on mislocalised material (i.e., NMNZ M.275314). Taxonomy.

Multinational corporations in the Arab world with particular reference to the contribution of industrial joint ventures to development in the Gulf region
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This thesis investigates the status and the role of Multinational Corporations in the Arab World. Its main hypothesis is that the Multinationals today represent a permanent feature as the major world-wide source of modern technology. As such, the Arab countries will continue relying, into the foreseeable future, upon technology produced, owned or controlled by these global firms.
The research finds that a century of increasing integration with the western industrialised countries, primarily shaped by the activities of the multinational corporations, has nevertheless left the Arab region less industrialised and more technologically and institutionally backward than many other parts of the world. The Arab Nation as a whole, in all its diversity of countries and regions, has failed to economically or industrially advance at the same rate as other newly industrialising regions. The lack of commitment to national and regional development needs in the Arab World on the part of most multinationals, is matched by an equal absence of any clear sense of purpose and dedication on the part of the Arab countries themselves.
Despite the proposition by some Arab professionals and elites that the Arab States must consider breaking with any development strategy that substantially relies on access to capital and technology provided by foreign multinationals, the research contends that, in view of the current underdeveloped state of indigenous technology in the Arab World, the contemplation of the option of "de-linking" from the multinationals is neither possible nor desirable. The fact is, that the Arab States, individually or as whole, are not as yet prepared for the challenges that such a go-it-alone development strategy would imply.
The research also finds that, as the multinational' behaviour is governed by diverse objectives, helping out the developing countries of the Arab World to build-up their technological base is not generally one of their distinctive goals. They have their own "growth" strategy while each of the individual Arab States has its own "development" policy. The objectives of each differ, as shown in this thesis, and are often incompatible. Yet, for a multinational corporation to secure profit, growth and security, it will need the goodwill of the Arab countries, while the latter, in order to start building their technological base, need the multinationals. Thus, objectively, they need each other and a fruitful cooperation between the two parties depends on the convergence of two strategies, which usually need to undergo many changes in order to accommodate each other's diverse interests.
This means that, what a foreign multinational can really offer depends on how much an Arab country, individually or in collaboration with other Arab countries, may actually be prepared or able to take. From the latter's viewpoint, the ability to take is dependent on the extent to which the Arab countries can cooperate effectively together. The recent trend in the region towards forging economic integration, in the form of regional groupings among neighbouring Arab countries, is widely heralded to be an essential step in the right direction. However, in view of the considerable variations in natural resource endowments which exist among the countries of the Arab World, it has been increasingly suggested by the Arab participants of our main survey, that inter-Arab multinational joint ventures constitute a highly desirable form of organising economic activity, and of accomplishing effective economic cooperation among the countries of the region.
Most importantly, the thesis demonstrates that there are many areas in which conventional economic theories are deficient in explaining multinationals' behaviour and impact on the Arab World. Deficiencies between theory and practice arc referred to throughout the work and discussed in particular detail in Chapters 4 and 12.
A major conclusion of this study is that, the Arab governments which once feared the multinationals are now actively interested in seeking to court and accommodate them more effectively to local development needs. There is increasing evidence that the Arab countries have learned to bargain with multinationals to make them better serve their specific objectives and interests. Through more contacts and interactions, previously contrasting positions have softened and a wave of pragmatic attitudes on both sides is emerging to promote greater recognition of the mutual interests involved.
It is the hope of the author of this thesis that his work will encourage even greater mutual understanding and cooperation between the Arab States and multinational partners in the future. Indeed it is only through such cooperation that joint efforts can be effectively used to promote beneficial development and growth for the future prosperity of the Arab Nation as a whole

Pleioplectron pectinatum Hutton, 1896: 234. syn. nov. Diagnosis A medium-sized cave wētā found in forested and urban areas in the southern South Island, east of the mountains, mainly in inland Canterbury and the east coast. It is very common in highly modified environments, including around dwellings and firewood piles; Pleioplectron simplex is ‘the’ urban cave wētā of New Zealand’s South Island. Being chequered grey-brown in colour, often with a prominent yellow median line running along the length of the dorsum, it could be most easily mistaken for P. thomsoni (Chopard, 1923) comb. nov., with which it is sympatric, and with P. triquetrum sp. nov. at the northern end of its distribution range. It is readily distinguished from both of these species by lacking a retrolateral apical spine on the fore femur. Pleioplectron simplex is generally darker in colour compared to P. thomsoni comb. nov. and lighter compared to P. triquetrum sp. nov. Etymology Not explained by Hutton; ʻ simplex ʼ is Latin for ʻsimpleʼ or ʻplainʼ.

Description MEASUREMENTS. See Table 1. Originally described by Hutton (1896), the species was redescribed adequately by Richards (1959). A notable detail omitted by both Hutton (1896) and Richards (1959) is the presence of sensory hair tuffs on the antennal segments of some, but not all, sexually mature males (Fig. 5). Male Pleioplectron simplex on Banks Peninsula tend to reach larger dimensions than elsewhere, but our genetic data provide no evidence that the Banks Peninsula population is distinct. Of five adult males we measured from Banks Peninsula, the smallest (MPN CW4112) measured 16.3 mm in body length, 12% longer than the largest adult male we collected elsewhere (MPN CW4013 from Long Beach, Dunedin, 14.5 mm long). To avoid introducing geographical bias in our measurements, we only included one adult male P. simplex from Banks Peninsula in Table 1, which gives us an estimate for the maximum size of the species.Published as part of Hegg, Danilo, Morgan-Richards, Mary & Trewick, Steven A., 2019, Diversity and distribution of Pleioplectron Hutton cave wētā (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae: Macropathinae), with the synonymy of Weta Chopard and the description of seven new species, pp. 1-46 in European Journal of Taxonomy 577 on pages 12-14, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.577, http://zenodo.org/record/355208
