[1] Water trade and the establishment of water markets continue to gain popularity among legislators as a vehicle for progressing the reform of the water resources sector in Australia. This has manifested itself at the most recent meeting of the Council of Australian Governments, where a range of changes to address the declining health of inland rivers included the strengthening of water proper...

Political instability of several countries in the Middle East is overshadowing one of the biggest challenges of the upcoming century: Water a natural resource that is easily taken for granted, but whose scarcity might lead to serious conflicts. This paper investigates an optimal Water Allocation of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivershed by introducing the WATER-Model. A series of scenarios are anal...

Reclaimed water is considered to be an important alternative freshwater solve the imbalance between supply and demand of regional resources; it also recognized as effective tool for alleviating ecological problems caused by insufficient flow. Yiwu City a typical area experiencing shortage in southeastern China because resources are limited. In this study, multiple resource allocations optimized...

In the era of Big Data, with data growing massively in scale and velocity, cloud computing its pay-as-you-go model continues to provide significant cost benefits a seamless service delivery for consumers. The evolution small-scale large-scale geo-distributed datacenters operated managed by individual Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) raises new challenges terms effective global resource sharing ma...

Here the focus is on the optimized design and performance of Rayleigh-faded Multi-Antenna multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) systems when both transmitter and receiver share imperfect (i.e., error impaired) channel estimates computed via training sequences. In particular, according to the emerging principle of the so called Synchronized Detection [18,23], for this operating scenario the proposal d...
