Water samples were collected from four different stations bimonthly from the Orashi River for a period of one year. The samples were collected from the shores of selected communities along the Engenni axis of the river. The samples were treated and analyzed according to standard laboratory and analytical procedures for water physicochemical parameters. The parameters examined were pH, Salinity, chlorides (Cl-), Conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS) turbidity, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrates (NO3-), sulphate (SO42-) and phosphates (PO43-). The results showed that the mean values of the evaluated parameters were; pH (6.91±0.11), salinity (9.79±0.27 mg/L), Cl (6.25±0.25 mg/L), conductivity (29.66±1.20 µS/cm), TDS (17.66±2.08 mg/L), TSS (16.83±1.15 mg/L), turbidity (11.84±1.50 mg/L), temperature (28.16±0.12 oC), DO (5.91±0.18 mg/L), BOD (7.30±0.60 mg/L), COD (9.41±0.70 mg/L), NO3- (3.42±0.27 mg/L), SO42- (1.15±0.56 mg/L) and PO43- (15.65±5.76 mg/L). The results of the different parameters showed that all of them fall within the WHO acceptable limit except turbidity, DO and BOD that were not within the recommended range, then COD and phosphates that were either within or above the recommended values at different instances. Based on the findings of this work, the water may not be particularly suitable for drinking purposes, but can be used for other household functions that do not require consumption and also for irrigation. Keywords: water, physicochemical property, human activity, environment, contamination
在为期一年的时间里,每个月从Orashi河的四个不同站点采集水样。样本是从沿着河流的Engenni轴的选定社区的海岸收集的。样品按照标准的实验室和水理化参数分析程序进行处理和分析。考察的参数包括pH、盐度、氯化物(Cl-)、电导率、总溶解固体(TDS)、总悬浮固体(TSS)浊度、温度、溶解氧(DO)、生化需氧量(BOD)、化学需氧量(COD)、硝酸盐(NO3-)、硫酸盐(SO42-)和磷酸盐(PO43-)。结果表明,评价参数的均值为;pH(6.91±0.11)、盐度(9.79±0.27 mg/L)、Cl(6.25±0.25 mg/L)、电导率(29.66±1.20µS/cm)、TDS(17.66±2.08 mg/L)、TSS(16.83±1.15 mg/L)、浊度(11.84±1.50 mg/L)、温度(28.16±0.12 oC)、DO(5.91±0.18 mg/L)、BOD(7.30±0.60 mg/L)、COD(9.41±0.70 mg/L)、NO3-(3.42±0.27 mg/L)、SO42-(1.15±0.56 mg/L)和PO43-(15.65±5.76 mg/L)。不同参数的结果表明,除浊度、DO和BOD不在WHO推荐范围内外,其余参数均在WHO可接受范围内,COD和磷酸盐在不同情况下均在WHO推荐范围内或以上。根据这项工作的结果,水可能不是特别适合饮用,但可以用于其他不需要消耗的家庭功能,也可以用于灌溉。关键词:水,理化性质,人类活动,环境,污染

Urbanization and modernization have effects on marital relationships in Nigeria which led to high divorce rate among legitimate couples prompting unstable environment. This situation design and uses scientific means to study the dynamics of marital relationships and their behavioural features to check excesses in marriage and to promote stability. A modified system of nonlinear fractional-order differential equations was used to categorize people of different personalities and different Impact Factors of Memory, using different sets of parameters. The equations predict and interpret the features of the union of different individuals with external circumstance(s). Equations were adapted to a local environment where data collections were carried out to investigate factors affecting marriages. Data collected by the use of questionnaire validate the model. An Iterative Decomposition Method was adopted to solve the fractional system in which fractional derivatives were given in the Caputo sense; the obtained results were interpreted appropriately. The modified model shows the trajectory of the couple from the state of indifference and as the impact factor memory increases it affects their togetherness making the love between them to decay easily. Numerical simulation results were presented to show the effectiveness of the model and the accuracy of the statements established. Keywords: Differential model, dynamical system, impact factors of memory, iterative decomposition method, marital relationship
城市化和现代化对尼日利亚的婚姻关系产生了影响,导致合法夫妻离婚率高,环境不稳定。这种情境设计并使用科学手段研究婚姻关系的动态及其行为特征,以检查婚姻中的过度行为并促进稳定。采用改进的非线性分数阶微分方程组对不同性格和不同记忆影响因素的人进行分类,并采用不同的参数集。这些方程预测和解释了不同个体在外部环境下的结合特征。这些公式是根据当地的环境进行调整的,在那里进行数据收集,以调查影响婚姻的因素。使用问卷调查收集的数据验证了模型。采用迭代分解方法求解分数阶系统,其中分数阶导数在Caputo意义下给出;得到的结果得到了适当的解释。修正后的模型显示了夫妻从冷漠状态开始的轨迹,随着影响因子记忆的增加,影响了他们在一起的程度,使他们之间的爱容易衰减。数值仿真结果表明了该模型的有效性和所建立结论的准确性。关键词:差分模型,动力系统,记忆影响因素,迭代分解法,婚姻关系

Our theory includes generalized explanations of how nature works, confirmed by pieces of evidence, cover predictions for further technological developments towards economically and environmentally sustainable industrial processes as well as provides the role of bioenergy accumulation and transformation for improved understanding about evolution, influences of anthropogenic activity, decision-makers errors, technological choices, pandemics prevention and the necessary skills toward the innovation algae-based system. The possibility of origination and evolution of the landforms of life were the results of bioenergy accumulation by microalgae and at present, the contribution of algae remains dominant in reducing CO2 and maintaining O2 level in the atmosphere. Population growth stimulates the accumulation of air carbon and bioenergy. The production and application of fertilizers originated large GHG emissions and it is a big conceptual need to shift on organic agriculture including algae fertilization of soil to contribute long-term sustainability. The used technologies for 1G biofuels production, as well as microalgae to biofuel based on biomass phototrophic growth by the use of fertilizers, are induced aggressively increasing GHG emission instead of their mitigation. Microalgae biofuel has big potential in case the use of wastewaters and food waste for biomass growth. The priority strategy for dealing with future pandemics treats such as COVID-19, etc. must be increasing the stability of immunity system of humans and animals to infections and due to a high concentration of physiologically active compounds in microalgae they application can be the best decision. Analyses of the Kyoto Protocol, Paris Climate Agreement, etc. results provide that their application has many disadvantages. The New policy must be founded on the admitting of the Life Conserve industry as the new part of the production. Keywords: bioenergy, biofuel, environmental policy evaluation, evolution, climate change, Malthusian theory, microalgae, agriculture, pandemics, waste
我们的理论包括对自然如何运作的广义解释,这些解释得到了证据的证实,涵盖了对经济和环境可持续工业过程的进一步技术发展的预测,并提供了生物能源积累和转化的作用,以更好地理解进化、人类活动的影响,决策者的错误、技术选择、流行病预防以及创新藻类系统的必要技能。生命地貌的起源和进化的可能性是微藻生物能量积累的结果,目前,藻类在减少大气中的CO2和维持O2水平方面仍占主导地位。人口增长刺激了空气中碳和生物能源的积累。化肥的生产和应用产生了大量的温室气体排放,这是一个很大的概念需求,需要转向有机农业,包括土壤藻类施肥,以促进长期可持续性。1G生物燃料生产所使用的技术,以及通过使用化肥实现的基于生物质光养生长的微藻到生物燃料的技术,都导致了温室气体排放的大幅增加,而不是缓解。微藻生物燃料在利用废水和食物垃圾促进生物量增长方面具有巨大潜力。应对新冠肺炎等未来流行病治疗的优先策略必须是提高人类和动物对感染的免疫系统的稳定性,由于微藻中生理活性化合物的浓度很高,因此应用它们可能是最佳决定。对《京都议定书》、《巴黎气候协定》等的分析结果表明,它们的适用存在诸多弊端。新政策必须建立在承认生命保护产业是生产的新组成部分的基础上。关键词:生物能源、生物燃料、环境政策评估、进化、气候变化、马尔萨斯理论、微藻、农业、流行病、废物

The present work is a qualitative research, which aims at drawing the general behaviour of variations in the subsurface seawater temperatures within three distinctive subsurface layers in the south-eastern Mediterranean region. The work is based on hydrographic data collected over 65 years (1948–2012). The investigated layers are the subsurface, the intermediate and the deep water layers. The general trend of the mean annual temperature anomaly (MATA) was examined using the linear and quadratic regressions. Results revealed that the MATA over the water column in the south-eastern Mediterranean has the same trend, regardless of the place (layer) of investigation. Linearly, all MATA have increasing trends with different rates, with the exception of the 75 m level, which has a decreasing trend following that previously concluded for the surface water in the region. Also, the quadratic approach reflects the same trend of MATA over the water column, with different years of minimum occurrence. These same trends from the surface to deep can be attributed to the vertical convection processes in this region, and to the expanded impact of solar radiation which may reach more than 30 m depth. Keywords: South-eastern Mediterranean Sea, seawater temperature, linear regression, quadratic regression, cyclic trend
本工作是一项定性研究,旨在绘制地中海东南部地区三个不同地下层内地下海水温度变化的一般行为。这项工作基于65年来(1948年至2012年)收集的水文数据。研究层包括地下水层、中间水层和深水层。利用线性回归和二次回归检验了年平均气温异常(MATA)的总体趋势。结果表明,无论调查地点(层)如何,地中海东南部水柱上的MATA都有相同的趋势。线性地,除了75m水位外,所有MATA都有不同速率的增加趋势,该水位的下降趋势与之前得出的该地区地表水的下降趋势一致。此外,二次方法反映了水柱上MATA的相同趋势,具有不同的最小发生年份。这些从地表到深处的相同趋势可归因于该地区的垂直对流过程,以及可能达到30米以上深度的太阳辐射的扩大影响。关键词:地中海东南部,海水温度,线性回归,二次回归,循环趋势

By considering ‘Planck mass’ as a characteristic massive seed and by replacing big bang with a growing Planck ball, an evolving model of quantum cosmology can be developed. With reference to increasing support for large scale cosmic anisotropy, preferred directions, quantum mechanical demand of cosmic spin and by considering a decreasing trend of angular velocity, from the beginning of Planck scale, we have developed a procedure for estimating the trend of all cosmic physical parameters. From and about the baby universe, in all directions, cosmic acceleration can be understood with increasing expansion velocity and decreasing total matter density ratio. We would like suggest that, from the beginning of Planck scale, 1) Dark matter can be considered as a kind of cosmic foam responsible for formation of galaxies. 2) Cosmic angular velocity decreases with square of the decreasing cosmic temperature. 3) Increasing ratio of Hubble parameter to angular velocity plays a crucial role in estimating increasing cosmic expansion velocity and decreasing total matter density ratio. 4) There is no need to consider dark energy for understanding cosmic acceleration. With further study, cosmological nucleosynthesis and dark matter synthesis along with mass generation mechanism can be reviewed in a quantum cosmological approach.
通过将“普朗克质量”视为一种特征性的大质量种子,并用不断增长的普朗克球取代大爆炸,可以开发出一个不断发展的量子宇宙学模型。关于增加对大尺度宇宙各向异性、优选方向、宇宙自旋的量子力学需求的支持,并通过考虑角速度的下降趋势,从普朗克尺度开始,我们开发了一种估计所有宇宙物理参数趋势的程序。从婴儿宇宙开始,在所有方向上,宇宙加速度都可以理解为膨胀速度的增加和总物质密度比的降低。我们认为,从普朗克尺度开始,1)暗物质可以被认为是一种负责星系形成的宇宙泡沫。2) 宇宙角速度随宇宙温度降低的平方而减小。3) 哈勃参数和角速度之比的增加对估计宇宙膨胀速度的增加和总物质密度比的降低起着至关重要的作用。4) 为了理解宇宙加速度,没有必要考虑暗能量。随着进一步的研究,可以用量子宇宙学的方法来回顾宇宙学核合成和暗物质合成以及质量产生机制。

With further study, cosmological nucleosynthesis and dark matter synthesis along with mass generation mechanism can be reviewed in a quantum cosmological approach.","PeriodicalId":91843,"journal":{"name":"Athens journal of sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46325883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

West Africa like many other regions in Africa, is enjoying a period of rapid growth in the past decade and within this period, its international trade has grown significantly. However, the region lacks sufficient dry ports, which can enhance a sustainable transportation of transit cargoes via the various corridors as well as relieving pressures on the seaports. The essence of this paper is to select an optimum location for the development of a dry port in West Africa based on specific factors relevant the research objective. The center of gravity location model was applied at the landside in order to ascertain the transportation cost of goods from selected coastal ports to the hinterland markets as well selecting an optimum location for the development of a dry port with a cost minimization objective. A simple forecast of demand throughput for West African landlocked countries was also applied using time series regression analysis in order to access the traffic growth rate as well as the associated capacity constraints that the ports might experience in the nearest future. Finally, SWOT analysis was used to analyze the endogenous and exogenous factors, which are deemed crucial to the development of dry port in Cote d‟Ivoire.
与非洲许多其他地区一样,西非在过去十年中正处于快速增长期,在此期间,其国际贸易大幅增长。然而,该地区缺乏足够的陆港,这可以通过各种走廊加强过境货物的可持续运输,并缓解海港的压力。本文的实质是根据与研究目标相关的具体因素,选择西非陆港开发的最佳位置。重心位置模型应用于陆侧,以确定从选定的沿海港口到内陆市场的货物运输成本,并以成本最小化为目标选择陆港开发的最佳位置。还利用时间序列回归分析对西非内陆国家的需求吞吐量进行了简单预测,以了解交通增长率以及港口在不久的将来可能遇到的相关容量限制。最后,运用SWOT分析法分析了对科特迪瓦陆港发展至关重要的内生因素和外生因素。
