Analysis of Streamflow Response to Changing Climate Conditions Using SWAT Model
No full textThe understanding of climate change is curial for the security of hydrologic conditions of river basins and it is very important to study the climate change impacts on streamflow by analyzing the different climate scenarios with the help of the hydrological models. The main purpose of this study is to project the future climate impact on streamflow by using the SWAT model. The multi-model projections indicated that Upper Ayeyarwady River Basin is likely to become hotter in dry season under low rainfall intensity with increasing temperature and likely to become wetter but warmer in both rainy and winter season because of high rainfall intensity with increased temperature in future. The impact of climate change scenarios is predicted to decrease the annual streamflow by about 0.30 to 1.92% under RCP2.6, 5.59 to 7.29% under RCP4.5 and 10.43 to 11.92% under RCP8.5. Based on the change in high and low flow percentage with respect to the baseline period, the difference between high and low flow variation range will increase year by year based on future scenarios. Therefore, it can be concluded that it may occur more low flow in the dry season which leads to increase in water scarcity and drought and more high flow in the wet season which can cause flooding, water insecurity, stress, and other water-related disasters
Assessment of Future Climate Change Projections Using Multiple Global Climate Models
No full textNowadays, the hydrological cycle which alters river discharge and water availability is affected by climate change. Therefore, the understanding of climate change is curial for the security of hydrologic conditions of river basins. The main purpose of this study is to assess the projections of future climate across the Upper Ayeyarwady river basin for its sustainable development and management of water sector for this area. Global Ten climate Models available from CMIP5 represented by the IPCC for its fifth Assessment Report were bias corrected using linear scaling method to generate the model error. Among the GCMs, a suitable climate model for each station is selected based on the results of performance indicators (R2 and RMSE). Future climate data are projected based on the selected suitable climate models by using future climate scenarios: RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5. According to this study, future projection indicates to increase in precipitation amounts in the rainy and winter season and diminishes in summer season under all future scenarios. Based on the seasonal temperature changes analysis for all stations, the future temperature are predicted to steadily increase with higher rates during summer than the other two seasons and it can also be concluded that the monthly minimum temperature rise is a bit larger than the maximum temperature rise in all seasons

Professor Han Xianguang and His Contribution to the Horn World
No full textThis dissertation verifies Professor Han, Xianguang as the most significant Chinese horn player and teacher in the twentieth century. He was the first Chinese horn player to win in an international horn competition and the first president of the China Horn Association. He was the premier performer of the only known Chinese horn concerto: Fantasy-Concerto , composed by Professor Shi Yongkang in 1962. Professor Han also served as a judge for many international horn solo and chamber music competitions, and was president of the first (2012), second (2013), and third (2014) CCOM (Central College of Music) International Horn Festivals in Beijing. This dissertation explores Professor Han’s professional and pedagogical contributions to the horn world. These contributions will, in turn, provide an overview of the evolution of the horn and horn playing in China. The horn, historically and musically an instrument of Western Europe, was transported to Asia by many horn players and teachers, with Professor Han the most significant figure in its evolution in China. During Professor Han’s 60-year teaching career, he developed a special pedagogical system. A number of his outstanding horn students, including two sons, eventually became principal hornists in orchestras throughout China, with a few hired by European orchestras, and some have won international competitions. A secondary purpose of this dissertation is to offer historical and pedagogical information to young horn players, especially those of Asian descent, to give them a more thorough musical and aesthetical understanding of their instrument in the Asian history and culture. As part of his DMA Lecture Recital on September 6, 2015, the author presented the US premiere of Fantasy-Concerto in its piano reduction

Occurrence of Zooplanktons in the Eastern Part of Inle Lake, Nyaungshwe
No full textOccurrence of zooplanktons in the eastern part of Inle Lake was conducted during July 2017 to October 2018. In Inle Lake, four study sites were selected for research work such as Tha Le Oo village (site I), Inn Le (site II), Nyaung Wun village (site III), and Pae Pin village (site IV). Water samples from selected study sites were seasonally collected to observed zooplanktons. A total of zooplanktons observed was 40 genera belonging to 30 families, 20 orders, and 14 classes under 10 phyla from four study sites in Inle Lake. Among the ten phyla, Arthropoda was the most abundant (13 genera, 32.5 %) followed by Ciliophora (nine genera, 22.5 %) and Rotifera (seven genera, 17.50 %), and the least was Protozoa, Euglenozoa, Nematoda, Gastrotricha and Euarthropoda (one genus, 2.5 %), respectively. These zooplanktons could be identified down to genus level. Zooplanktons represented by 18 genera in site I, 19 in site II, 20 in site III and 28 in site IV. Seasonally, the most abundant and occurrence of zooplanktons (16 genera, 40.0 %) was found in rainy season of site IV and the hot season of site I followed by 15 genera (37.5 %) in the hot season of site IV, and the least (one genus, 2.5 %) in rainy season of site II

Abstract
Based on the behaviors of basketball coaches, this study investigates the psychodynamic processes of outstanding basketball coaches during time-outs, using long-term observation to examine basketball coaches’ mental processes during time-out in 1999-2003. According to past experience, the researcher tried to understand certain questions regarding to the game of basketball. At the first three studies of this thesis, We observed the top 8 teams of senior high school and the first level basketball teams. At the forth study, We picked eight of coaches for the analysis of the prescriptions during time-out At the last, four of them were analyzed for the construct of decision making. Quantitatively, three domains were divided in terms of time-outs called by coaches. On the other hand, which, what, why and how coaches made decisions during time-outs were analyzed qualitatively. It was found that time-outs requested by those excellent coaches were mainly based on team strategies. And the second important reason was to enhance players’ attention. There were no differences in terms of gender, performance levels and the past experiences of coaches. In other words, the decision making of basketball coaches during time-out was consistent. In terms of timing of time-outs called, there were higher possibilities that coaches requested time-outs in the last two minutes of each quarter. However, for the team lagging behind, the coach would call time-outs six minutes prior to the end of each quarter. On the other hands, while the teams lag behind three points and the teams led by two or four points, there were higher possibilities to call time-outs in vain. However, the chance to have a successful time-out called is around 50%. The analysis of dynamic system demonstrated that the frequency of negative slope was higher than positive slope, particular at the fourth quarter, and there was a smooth curve on the slope of time-outs called. Therefore, the slope of win-loss relationship is a substantial index. In terms of the prescriptions given by coaches during time-outs, the strategies regarding to team offense were most frequently used including solving the defense of the opponent team, dealing the offensive play properly, offensive strategies, and so on. Plus individual offense, team defense and individual defense, these mentioned prescriptions were 55% out of total factors used during time-out. Regarding to coaches’ education and development, experienced coaches spent more time to accumulate coaching experience in terms of preparation, introspection and data collection with higher maturity and integration than younger coaches.
Key words：coach、decision making、time-out
