چکیده

A method is described that allows long-term 1-day annual and seasonal flow duration curves at any ungauged location in one of the drainage regions of South Africa to be established. The method is based on normalization of observed flow duration curves by a long-term mean daily flow and subsequent averaging of normalized ordinates of the curves. The estimate of mean daily discharge for an ungauged site is obtained using the information from the existing national data base of flow characteristics. The established set of flow duration curves at a site is further translated into actual daily streamflow time series using a simple nonlinear spatial interpolation technique. Régionalisation des caractéristiques des débits journaliers dans une région du Cap Oriental (Afrique du Sud) Résumé La méthode décrite permet d'établir pour n'importe quel site non jaugé de l'une des régions de drainage d'Afrique du Sud, les courbes des débits journaliers classés annuelles et saisonnières. La méthode est basée sur la normalisation, par le débit journalier moyen, des courbes de débits journaliers classés observées, dont on moyenne ensuite les ordonnées. L'estimation du débit journalier moyen pour un site non jaugé est obtenue à partir de l'information contenue dans la base de données nationale des caractéristiques d'écoulement. Les courbes des débits classés ainsi calculées sont converties en séries temporelles d'écoulement journalier, en utilisant une simple technique d'interpolation spatiale non linéaire.

The Remak-Krull-Schmidt Theorem on\ Fuzzy Groups

In this paper we study a representation of a fuzzy subgroup $mu$ of a group $G$, as a product of indecomposable fuzzy subgroups called the components of $mu$.  This representation is unique up to the number of components and their isomorphic copies. In the crisp group theory, this is a well-known Theorem attributed to Remak, Krull, and Schmidt. We consider the lattice of fuzzy subgroups and som...

An Evaluation of the Role of an Intermediate Care Facility in the Continuum of Care in Western Cape, South Africa

Background A comprehensive primary healthcare (PHC) approach requires clear referral and continuity of care pathways. South Africa is a lower-middle income country (LMIC) that lacks data on the role of intermediate care (IC) services in the health system. This study described the model of service provision at one facility in Cape Town, including reason for admission, the mix of services and ski...

Distinct Fuzzy Subgroups of a Dihedral Group of Order $2pqrs$ for Distinct Primes $p, , q, , r$ and $s$

In this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of the dihedral group $D_{pqrs}$  for distinct primes  $p$, $q$, $r$ and $s$. This follows similar work we have done on distinct fuzzy subgroups of some dihedral groups.We present formulae for the number of (i) distinct maximal chains of subgroups, (ii) distinct fuzzy subgroups and (iii) non-isomorphic classes of fuzzy subgroups under our chosen equival...

The Determination of Social Needs as Drivers of Social Innovation

Social innovation has been contextualized as a new way of resolving deeply entrenched development issues. The identification and resolution of social needs is said to be the driving force of social innovation. With features such as sustainability and scalability, social innovation has the potential to change the way we perceive and engage with development in the future. This research takes a cr...
