Optimization of Agricultural BMPs Using a Parallel Computing Based Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithm
Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) are important measures for reducing agricultural non-point source (NPS) pollution. However, selection of BMPs for placement in a watershed requires optimizing available resources to maximize possible water quality benefits. Due to its iterative nature, the optimization typically takes a long time to achieve the BMP trade-off results which is not desirable ...
متن کاملBlock versus continuum deformation in the Western United States
The relative role of block versus continuum deformation of continental lithosphere is a current subject of debate. Continuous deformation is suggested by distributed seismicity at continental plate margins and by cumulative seismic moment sums which yield slip estimates that are less than estimates from plate motion studies. In contrast, block models are favored by geologic studies of displacem...
متن کاملکالبد شکافی سیاست خارجی و مواضع بازیگران معارض غربی در جنگ 33 روزه لبنان
With the beginning of the 33-day war against Lebanon, global and regional actors adopted different orientations and stances towards it according to their interests. The efforts of western governments and the U.S. as the super powers of the world, in support of Isreal and against Hizbullah, are obvious manifestations of the issues of this war. The present paper is aimed at explaining and an...
متن کاملHillslope Asymmetry Maps Reveal Widespread, Multi-Scale Organization
[1] Hillslope asymmetry is the condition in which oppositelyfacing hillslopes within an area have differing average slope angles, and indicates aspect-related variability in hillslope evolution. As such, the presence, orientation and magnitude of asymmetry may be a useful diagnostic for understanding process dominance. We present a new method for quantifying and mapping the spatial distribution...
متن کاملDeterminants of Poverty among Rural Households in South Western States, Nigeria
Nigeria represents one of the paradoxes of development in which case the nation is rich but her people are poor. This study examines the rate of poverty among rural households in South western, Nigeria. A random multistage sampling was employed for the study. Ekiti and Osun states were randomly selected from the six states in South-western Nigeria. This was followed by random selection of two L...
