Assessments of flow reduction in streams often focus on changes to biological communities and in-stream physical characteristics, with little consideration for changes in ecosystem functioning. It is unclear whether functional indicators of ecosystem condition may be useful for assessing the impacts of reduced discharge on small streams. Using weirs and diversions to reduce stream discharge dur...

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of environmental parameters onthe abundance of monkey goby Neogobius pallasi. A total of 526 and 163 individuals ofmonkey goby specimens were caught by electro-shocker in the Kaboodval and Shirabad Streams, respectively. The ranges of total length of the specimens in Kaboodval and Shirabad Streams were respectively 22-137.55 mm and 32.64-137....

A mathematical model for the prediction of internal recirculation of complex impinging stream reactors has been presented. The model constitutes a repetition of a series of ideal plug flow reactors and CSTR reactors with recirculation. The simplicity of the repeating motif allows for the derivation of an algebraic relation of the whole system using the Laplace transform. An impinging stream...

Future Work Path Error = Distance at each predicted step between prediction and ground truth. Final Displacement = Distance between the final points ● We used 5 pre-annotated Stanford Drone Dataset video-streams of the “The Circle of Death” ● total of 22 minutes of footage (with 1548 Bicyclists, 917 Pedestrians, 107 Skaters, and 132 carts) ○ Holdout: Training on first 3 scenes (17 min). Tested ...

Euclidean distance matrix completion problem aims at reconstructing the low dimensional geometry structure of nodes given only a few pairwise distances between nodes [1]. This problem arises in many applications including networks and machine learning where much information of points is laking. For instance, in sensor networks, due to the constraints of energy and communication radius, sensor n...

For slowly varying fields the vacuum functional of a quantum field theory may be expanded in terms of local functionals. This expansion satisfies its own form of the Schrödinger equation from which the expansion coefficents can be found. For scalar field theory in 1+1 dimensions we show that this approach correctly reproduces the short-distance properties as contained in the counter-terms. We a...

Estimates of the total lifetime dispersal capacity of individuals comprising invertebrate drift in streams and rivers have proved very difficult to determine empirically. Here we use recent data on dispersal in the amphipod Gammarus pulex L. to illustrate a method for estimating the total distance an individual is likely to travel downstream during the period between hatching and its first repr...

The fast-start (acceleration) performance of seven groups of rainbow trout from 9-6 to 38-7 cm total length was measured in response to d.c. electric shock stimuli. Two fast-start kinematic patterns, L- and S-start were observed. In L-starts the body was bent into an L or U shape and a recoil turn normally accompanied acceleration. Free manoeuvre was not possible in L-starts without loss of spe...

We address the Monge problem in metric spaces with a geodesic distance: (X, d) is a Polish space and dN is a geodesic Borel distance which makes (X, dN ) a possibly branching geodesic space. We show that under some assumptions on the transference plan we can reduce the transport problem to transport problems along family of geodesics. We introduce three assumptions on a given dN -monotone trans...
