Sustainable management of water resources in large river basins in a climate change scenario – A case study of Po River Basin
No full textLe risorse di acqua dolce a livello globale sono sotto pressione a causa dell'aumento delle emissioni di gas serra, dell'aumento delle temperature e del forzamento antropogenico. Il settore agricolo, in quanto principale consumatore di acqua dolce, è particolarmente vulnerabile a questi cambiamenti. Il bacino del fiume Po, il più grande bacino fluviale e centro agricolo d'Italia, negli ultimi anni ha subito frequenti siccità. Questo studio intende fornire alcune informazioni sulla gestione sostenibile delle risorse idriche nei grandi bacini fluviali colpiti dal cambiamento climatico. Gli obiettivi specifici comprendevano l'analisi delle tendenze climatiche storiche, la valutazione dei modelli di evapotraspirazione e la valutazione delle minacce di aridità nel bacino del Po su scala stagionale e spaziale. I test di Mann-Kendall e stagionali di Mann-Kendall, combinati con la pendenza di Theil-Sen, sono stati applicati per rilevare le tendenze passate e i tassi di cambiamento dal 1960 al 2020. La classificazione pluviometrica di Bandini per l'Italia è stata aggiornata utilizzando i dati attuali per meglio caratterizzare i regimi di precipitazione. I dati relativi alla temperatura e alle precipitazioni sono stati estrapolati altitudinalmente per eliminare gli effetti della quota, e sono state elaborate mappe climatologiche mensili aggiornate per il bacino. Il fabbisogno idrico del bacino è stato valutato utilizzando l'evapotraspirazione potenziale di Thornthwaite (indicativa della domanda d'acqua dell'ecosistema come caratteristica climatica) e l'evapotraspirazione delle colture ottenuta dall'evapotraspirazione di riferimento di Hargreaves e Samani corretta con i coefficienti di coltura (secondo le classi di copertura del suolo accoppiate con il metodo FAO). Inoltre, la domanda di evapotraspirazione delle colture è stata determinata per quattro scenari colturali: miglio e lenticchie, orzo e lenticchie, frumento invernale e fagiolo verde, riso e lenticchie. Le tendenze spaziali e temporali dell'aridità sono state valutate utilizzando quattro indici di aridità basati su due diversi aspetti. Essi son oindici basati su temperatura e precipitazioni, cio gli indici di aridit' di e indici di De Martonne e De Martonne Pinna sul l'evapotraspirazione, cioè indici di aridità di Melisenda e Budyko. I risultati hanno mostrato tendenze significative verso l'alto in tutte le metriche di temperatura, soprattutto durante le stagioni estive con tassi da 0,5 \degree C a 0,7 \degree C per decennio. Oltre l'80\% del bacino presentava una domanda evapotraspirativa delle colture superiore a quella potenziale, indicando esigenze di irrigazione. Mentre il bacino è classificato come umido su base annua, circa il 40\% sperimenta condizioni mediterranee o semi-aride durante l'estate, che coincide con la stagione di crescita massima. Tra quelli considerati, lo scenario di coltivazione del riso e delle lenticchie ha mostrato il deficit idrico più elevato, raggiungendo i 500 mm annui. Questi risultati evidenziano la necessità di un'azione immediata attraverso strategie sostenibili che includano selezione delle colture, efficienza dell'irrigazione e gestione integrata delle risorse idriche per garantire la sostenibilità idrologica e agricola del bacino.Freshwater resources globally are under stress due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions, rising temperatures, and anthropogenic forcing. The agricultural sector, as the largest consumer of freshwater, is particularly vulnerable to these changes. The Po river basin, Italy's largest river basin and agrarian hub, has been experiencing frequent droughts in recent years. This study set out to provide some insights regarding the sustainable management of water resources in large river basins suffering from climate change.
The specific objectives included the analysis of historical climatic trends, assessment of evapotranspiration patterns and, evaluation of aridity threats across the Po river basin on seasonal and spatial scales. Mann-Kendall and seasonal Mann-Kendall tests, combined with Theil-Sen's slope, were applied to detect past trends and rates of change from 1960 to 2020. The classical Bandini Pluviometric classification for Italy was updated using current data to better characterize precipitation regimes. Temperature and precipitation data were altitudinally detrended to eliminate elevation influences, and updated monthly climatological maps were developed for the basin. The basin’s water demand was assessed using Thornthwaite potential evapotranspiration (indicative of ecosystem water demand as a climatic characteristic) and crop evapotranspiration obtained from the Hargreaves and Samani's reference evapotranspiration adjusted with crop coefficients (as per Corine land cover classes). Additionally, crop evapotranspiration demand was determined for four cropping scenarios which were millet and lentils, barley and lentils, winter wheat and green beans, and rice and lentils. The spatial and temporal trends in aridity were assessed using four aridity indices based on two different aspects. Temperature and precipitation-based i.e., De Martonne and De Martonne Pinna combinative indices, and evapotranspiration-based i.e., Melisenda and Budyko aridity indices.
Results showed significant increasing trends in all temperature metrics, most prominently during summer seasons with rates of 0.5 degree C to 0.7 degree C per decade. Over 80% of the basin showed higher crop evapotranspiration than potential evapotranspiration, indicating irrigation needs. While the basin is classified as humid on an annual basis, about 40% experiences Mediterranean to semi-arid conditions during summer, coinciding with peak growing season. The rice-lentils cropping system showed the highest water deficit, reaching 500 mm annually. These findings highlight the need for immediate action through sustainable strategies including crop selection, irrigation efficiency, and integrated water resources management to ensure the basin's hydrological and agricultural sustainability

GLT matrix-sequences and few emblematic applications
Full text linkThis thesis advances the spectral theory of structured matrix-sequences within the framework of Generalized Locally Toeplitz (GLT) ∗-algebras, focusing on the geometric mean of Hermitian positive definite (HPD) GLT matrixsequences and its applications in mathematical physics. For two HPD sequences {An}n ∼GLT κ and {Bn}n ∼GLT ξ in the same d-level, r-block GLT ∗-algebra, we prove that, when κ and ξ commute, the sequence of geometric means {G(An, Bn)}n is a GLT sequence with symbol (κξ)1/2, without requiring the almost-everywhere invertibility of either symbol, thereby settling [37, Conjecture 10.1] for r = 1, d ≥ 1. In degenerate cases, where symbols vanish on sets of positive measure, we identify conditions ensuring
that the geometric mean retains a GLT structure in the commuting setting, so having {G(An, Bn)}n ∼GLT G(κ, ξ). Conversely, for r > 1 with degenerate,
non-commuting symbols, we provide numerical evidence that the resulting sequence still admits a spectral symbol, with G(κ, ξ) being not well defined.
The latter implies that the result {G(An, Bn)}n ∼GLT G(κ, ξ) in the commuting setting is maximal. Numerical experiments in scalar and block settings,
in one and two dimensions, confirm the theoretical predictions and illustrate spectral behaviour. We sketch also the case of k ≥ 2 matrix-sequences, by
considering the Karcher mean. Preliminary results and numerical experiments indicate that {G(A(1)n, . . . A(k)n)}n ∼GLT G(κ1, . . . κk), if {A(j)n }n ∼GLT κj, for j = 1, . . . , k.
The GLT framework is further applied to mean-field quantum spin systems, with particular attention to the quantum Curie–Weiss model. In this context, we show that the structured matrices arising from the model form GLT sequences, enabling an explicit determination of their spectral distributions
in both unrestricted and symmetry-restricted cases. Numerical simulations validate the analysis and reveal additional spectral features such as eigenvalue localization and extremal behaviour.
In terms of mathematical tools, we use the axioms characterizing the d-level, r-block GLT ∗-algebra, the notion of approximating classes of sequences and the important two-sided ideal of zero-distributed matrix-sequences.This thesis advances the spectral theory of structured matrix-sequences within the framework of Generalized Locally Toeplitz (GLT) ∗-algebras, focusing on the geometric mean of Hermitian positive definite (HPD) GLT matrixsequences and its applications in mathematical physics.

By beginning a brief discussion related to timetable and class schedule, this study will expand the foundation for developing a functional and acceptable system that is capable of generating timetable based on a specific student’s class schedule. The first objective would be to design and develop a web application called Timetable Generation System. The second objective is to evaluate the functionality and user acceptance towards the said system. The system’s significance could ease the process of finding and arrange the student’s class schedule in a timetable which will dramatically reduce the time it takes for students to prepare their class schedule timetable every semester. Literature review will be discussed in various topics from class schedule timetabling to web application development. Three related works are included to analyse the related problems of the previous work done by other researchers and study the methods and approaches they used in developing their system. The methodology will discuss the SDLC approach in developing the project. The project development consists of four phases; analysis, design, development and testing. The system was evaluated using functional testing and User Acceptance Test. The tests were conducted in order to verify the system meet user requirements and users accept the developed system respectively. The author may improve the Timetable Generation System in the future by implementing a fully automatic application that require less input from users as well as developing a mobile platform version of the application. There is also a potential study to design and develop the same application but for examination schedule instead

Magnetic resonance imaging sense reconstruction system using FPGA / Muhammad Faisal Siddiqui
Full text linkParallel imaging is a robust method for accelerating the data acquisition in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Under-sampled data is acquired in parallel imaging to expedite the MRI scan process, which leads to aliased images. Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE) is a widely used technique to reconstruct the artefact free images from the Parallel MRI (pMRI) aliased data. Reconfigurable hardware based architecture for SENSE has a great potential to provide good quality image reconstruction with significantly less computation time. This thesis aimed to investigate and develop a novel parameterized architecture design for SENSE algorithm. The proposed design is implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) platform, which can provide real-time SENSE reconstruction right on the receiver coil data acquisition system with no need to transfer data to the MRI server. Complex multiplier, complex matrix multiplier and pseudo-inverse modules are designed according to the algorithmic needs to increase the efficiency of the system. Furthermore, variable databus widths are used in the data path of the proposed architecture, which leads to reducing the hardware cost and silicon area. The use of eigenvectors decomposition (E-maps) and pre-scan methods for estimating sensitivity maps are also investigated. The reconstruction results are compared with the multi-core CPU and Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) based reconstructions of SENSE. This research also proposed an intelligent and robust classification technique to classify the MRI scans as normal or abnormal and also for validation purpose. The proposed classifier has been developed by using fast Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM). Firstly, fast DWT is employed to extract the salient features of MRI images, followed by PCA, which reduces the dimensions of the features. Finally, LS-SVM is applied to MR image classification using reduced features. The achieved reconstruction results are 850 times faster than the conventional multicore
CPU and 85 times faster than the GPU based reconstructions of SENSE, while
maintaining the quality of the reconstructed images with significantly less artefact
power ( < 2.45 10 4 ) and good mean SNR (35+ dB) values. The proposed system also
provides better reconstruction results when using E-maps and achieves <9 10 4 and
29+ dB for artefact power and mean SNR, respectively. Center line profiles comparison
also demonstrates the quality of the reconstructed images. The proposed system offers a
reconstruction right on the multi-channel data acquisition module which minimizes the
transmission cost and memory usage of the MRI system. Furthermore, its low power
consumption features can be remarkable especially for portable MRI scanners.
Moreover, the proposed classifier technique is significantly faster than the recent well known
methods, and it improves the efficiency by 71%, 3%, and 4% on feature
extraction stage, feature reduction stage, and classification stage, respectively. The
results indicate that the overall system is capable of reconstructing the high quality
images from the pMRI aliased data in real-time and then classify it as normal or
abnormal, therefore, it can be used as a significant tool in clinical practice
